...Located on one of the finest tree-lined blocks in Greenwich Village, 127 West 12th Street represents a rare opportunity to convert a large 5-story, 8-unit historic Italianate townhouse, originally from 1855 into a spectacular single family residence. The spacious and extraordinary Landmark property is 22.5' wide and consists of approximately 5,600 interior square feet, a front yard and back and and two terraces.

A charming 35-foot-deep private garden, accessible from both the parlor and garden levels, provides a peaceful retreat from city life. The expansive basement also offers potential for additional living or recreational space.

This remarkable property embodies the craftsmanship and grandeur of 19th-century New York architecture. Currently configured as an eight-unit residence—including three studios, three one-bedrooms, and two full-floor two-bedroom apartments—the building will be delivered vacant, offering a blank canvas for your vision.

Ideally situated within the Greenwich Village Historic District, the home is surrounded by some of the city’s best restaurants and is moments from the West Village, Meatpacking District, Washington Square Park, Union Square, and the High Line. Convenient access to B/D/F/M, L, 1/2/3, A/C/E, and PATH trains ensures seamless connectivity across the city.
