Property Description for 37 Charlton Street
Situated in the Charlton, King, Vandam Historic District, this Federal-style gem of a townhouse has stood regally as a single-family home with its facade intact, never having been broken up into apartments for nearly 200 years. Originally bank-rolled by John Jacob Astor and built in 1827 on property that had been the headquarters of General George Washington in 1776, this home has survived both inside and out and today sits proudly among a long row of 19th century residences.
Its original detail still intact, the parlor floor with its high ceilings features exquisite plaster mouldings, medallions and original marble fireplaces. Sunlight streams in through tall windows and reflects off crystal chandeliers in the living and dining rooms. The dining room looks out over the sixty foot deep landscaped garden lushly planted with mature trees and a bubbling fountain; a peaceful retreat from a hectic and fast paced city.
The warm and inviting kitchen also looks out to the garden and welcomes family and friends to gather by the fire and enjoy casual dining and conversation while the adjoining den is the perfect spot to cozy up with a book or to watch a favorite movie.
Upstairs there is a master floor with original wide pine floorboards. Both the master bedroom and study are bright and spacious, each with its own original fireplace. There is a marble bathroom, dressing room, a wet bar and an oversized windowed walk-in closet.
Situated off of a lovely wide seating area at the top of the staircase are three additional sun-filled bedrooms, two with fireplaces, and another full bathroom.
The home has central air conditioning and the basement and all of its mechanicals have recently been upgraded.
Lovingly cared for from generation to generation and passed from single family to single family, Number 37 is move-in ready and awaits to greet its new caretakers.

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.
