Property Description for 24 Commerce Street

Petite Grandeur

This enchanting estate-condition single-family townhouse is located on an idyllic block in the West Village. Built in 1821 and in the landmarked Greenwich Village Historic District, this home is a historic canvas and being offered for the first time in 43 years. Bring your architect and create the home of your dreams with approximately 1160 SF above-grade and 2100SF of unused FAR available. The home has southeastern and northwestern exposures, is nearly 17 feet wide and has multiple outdoor spaces including a 20-foot deep garden.

As you ascend the stoop and enter the first floor you're greeted by a stained glass vestibule and original hardwood wide plank floors. There is a unique arched brick mantle over a once-woodburning fireplace (you will find two more antique woodburning fireplaces at the cellar and second floor). There is a powder room for guests and access to the garden featuring what may have been an original street lamp, romantic ivy-covered wall, and a lively gingko tree.

On the second floor is the master bedroom with ensuite windowed bath, a walk-in closet and additional storage located subtlety behind wooden paneled walls. From the master bath stained rondel glass windows open over the private garden.

On the bright third floor there are vaulted ceilings with a skylight, an exposed brick chimney, an additional full bathroom with a tub, a classic murphy bed, and a hidden closet. From this level stairs lead to the roof deck.

The cellar houses the kitchen featuring a vintage 1950's built-in wall oven and has a separate entrance leading to the street as well as original garden access that may be able to be restored. The water heater (nearly five years old) and washer/dryer are located on this level. This house was recently inspected and while in need of renovation good bills of health were given to the pointing and roof. This home offers the autonomy and outdoor space of a townhouse with the simple upkeep that comes with a modest footprint.

Enjoy all the best the neighborhood has to offer including a cornucopia of culinary delights and restaurants such as Sushi Nakazawa located directly across the street, Buvette, Del Posto, Blue Hill, L'Artusi, Boucherie and John's Pizza. Centrally located, you're within a short distance to multiple subway lines including the 1/A/C/E/B/D/F/M.

West Village | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Known for its high-end shopping on Bleecker Street, the elegant brownstones dating back to colonial times that have been depicted in films and television, the abundance of cafes, and its celebrity residents, the West Village neighborhood is what springs to mind when you think of the essence of New York City. This is a neighborhood where the pace of life is less hurried, and harried, than in other neighborhoods, exuding an understated elegance and naturally beautiful sophistication and charm. 

The West Village has something to offer everyone, whether your taste runs to designer goods and trend-setting restaurants, or you are happier browsing thrift stores and whiling away the hours in conversation with friends at a hole-in-the-wall coffee shop. There are public green spaces dotted throughout this neighborhood, where you can stop and commune with nature, or grab a bite to eat from a local deli or cafe and have a picnic. The Hudson River Park offers recreational opportunities and events for all ages.

There is a tradition of bohemian non-conformity attached to the West Village. Even the intimate, tree-lined, and sometimes cobblestoned, streets refuse to conform to the grid layout of the rest of Manhattan. Activism and social consciousness have always been hallmarks of this neighborhood. The neighborhood is diverse and accepting of all. You will find artistic venues and experimental theater, together with a broad spectrum of bars, including speakeasies, and restaurants featuring myriad cuisines.

The West Village is primarily residential, conspicuously lacking the high-rise office buildings that characterize other neighborhoods. This lends an air of quiet sophistication during the day. At night, the area becomes more lively, as residents frequent their favorite restaurants, theaters, cafes, and gastropubs. Housing consists of brownstones dating back to the 18th century, low-rise walk-ups, townhouses, artists lofts, and condos in renovated buildings. Newer high-rise residential buildings are cropping up along the Hudson River. Always popular with celebrities and artistic types, the West Village is now attracting families and young professionals in the tech and financial fields.
