Property Description for 131 Charles Street
TOWNHOUSE & CARRIAGE HOUSE
RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A TOWNHOUSE THAT COMES WITH A CARRIAGE HOUSE!
Historic four story Federal style townhouse and separate two story carriage house, with a 900 sq. private garden between the two houses, whose interiors total approx. 5,000 sq. This 25 ft. wide property is superbly located in the West Village and has been lovingly maintained by the same family for more than four decades.
TOWNHOUSE:
Built in 1834, the main house is a charming example of early 19th century architecture, with a restored brick facade, handsome wrought iron railings, and a graceful doorway flanked by slender Ionic columns. The interior has many original details, including wide plank hardwood floors, decorative wood moldings, and five fireplaces. There are two parlors and a study on the main floor, four bedrooms on the upper floors, three full baths, and a dining room, kitchen, and laundry room in the English basement. The house has a large amount of storage space, including many closets and an attic. The tranquil green garden has bluestone paving and is shaded by trees.
CARRIAGE HOUSE:
Built in 1889, this romantic house is hidden from the street, with a private entrance through a horse walk (a passage at the side of the house) and an attractive brick facade. The interior has an open plan design on the first floor, with a light-filled kitchen and a soaring ceiling with exposed beams in the spacious living room and dining area. A mahogany staircase leads to two bedrooms, bath, and walk-in closet upstairs. The photographer Diane Arbus lived here during the 1960s.
131 Charles Street was designated as an individual New York City landmark in 1966 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The property has been featured in many publications, including Bricks and Brownstone by Charles Lockwood, The Houses of Greenwich Village by Kevin D. Murphy, Classic New York by Ada Louise Huxtable, the A. I. A. Guide, and the New York Times.

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.
