Property Description for 41 Barrow Street
West Village Townhouse
History
Located in the Greenwich Village Historic District, 41 Barrow Street is a late Federal-style rowhouse, built in 1828 by Charles Oakley, a well-to-do attorney, real estate developer and landlord who commissioned seven homes on the block from 1826-1828.
In the original 1969 landmarks designation report, 41 Barrow Street is described as a "two and one-half storied wood building with [a] brick front in Flemish bond, steeply pitched roof and dormer window". In the 20th century, a greenhouse conservatory was added to extend both the house's English basement and parlor floor.
Layout & Features
The primary entrance to this charming 21 footer is via a stoop at the parlor level. The living room and a greenhouse conservatory space are located on this floor, where the house's rear patio is also accessed.
In the English basement, the chef's kitchen, skylit dining area and a secondary bedroom and bathroom are found. The kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, a SubZero refrigerator, and a Miele dishwasher and stove. This floor can be separately accessed from a secondary entrance under the building's stoop.
Setback from the parlor floor, the house's second floor features what has traditionally been used as the master bedroom and bathroom, where the washer/dryer is housed. On the third floor, a lofty skylit third bedroom and bathroom are located.
Additional features of 41 Barrow Street include original wide plank pine floors, as well as a working fireplace in the living room and two decorative fireplaces; two of the house's wood mantels are circa 1828. Some modern additions to the space include central air conditioning, and a Nest Thermostat system.
Neighborhood
The West Village is considered one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the country. Established before the Manhattan grid was firmly rooted, the West Village has the ambling charm of a European city with an artistic, political and architectural history that is uniquely and decidedly American. Today this area is prized for its numerous beloved buildings, restaurants, boutiques and coffee shops--as well as its proximity to all things downtown, including the West Side bike and running paths, Washington Square Park and Lower Fifth Avenue.

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.
