20 W 12th St, New York, NY 10011

A 1910 Gold Coast Mansion with Grand Scale, Light & Views Majestic in scale and presence, 20 West 12th Street is a rare Gold Coast townhouse, reimagined by leading designers and architects as a fully unified single-family residence- an architectural reset that re-stitched the home into one grand house. This turn-of-the-century brick and stone mansion spans 26 feet in width, is built 80 feet on a 103-foot lot, and opens to a 20-foot private garden with an adjoining side yard- an exceptional offering in the heart of Greenwich Village. With the potential for up to eight bedrooms and 7.5 baths, the home offers dramatic entertaining spaces including a vast great room, parlor, dining room, and bar. Dramatic proportions, abundant natural light, and protected landmark views define the residence. North, south, and rare east exposures are complemented by sun-filled southern light preserved by three protected townhouses. Ceiling heights soar up to 12 feet, reinforcing the home’s grand scale throughout. The home features fully updated mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and gas systems, a recently serviced Otis elevator, central air conditioning, and a pristine cellar with over six-foot ceiling height. Seven original wood-burning fireplaces remain intact. Modern enhancements include Thermador refrigerator drawers, Kohler fixtures, Lutron lighting, custom window treatments, and designer wall coverings. At the heart of the home, a spectacular 30-foot Christopher Peacock–designed kitchen opens directly to the private garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. Espresso cabinetry, natural dark granite, and gold-brass hardware are paired with a full suite of brand-new Thermador appliances, including an induction range, smart wall oven, paneled refrigeration, wine column, dishwasher, and plumbed coffee system. The brick-paved garden is framed by mature plantings, including a 50-foot blooming magnolia, featuring bespoke stonework and a mirror installation by Jamie Drake. Above, the parlor and entertaining floor unfolds with exceptional elegance, featuring a 26-foot-wide sitting room overlooking West 12th Street, a formal dining room, and a conservatory-style great room- each crowned by 12-foot ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace. The upper floors offer exceptional flexibility for single-family living. The third floor offers generous ceiling heights, two fireplaces, and two full baths, with the ability to configure up to four bedrooms and infrastructure in place for a wet bar or additional bath. Above, the proposed fourth-floor primary suite enjoys protected views, a 12×15 private terrace overlooking the Church of the Village and private art collections, and a new spa-like bath- creating a serene retreat distinct from the levels below. Crowning the home, the top floor is a serene retreat with soaring ceilings, cork-wrapped interiors for acoustic softness, a dramatic wood-burning fireplace, wet bar, and a 15′ × 22′ south-facing terrace with cinematic Village views. An architecturally unified Gold Coast townhouse of rare scale, 20 West 12th Street offers a fully realized single-family vision in one of Greenwich Village’s most coveted locations.
