Property Description for 66 Morton Street
"A building's details, materials and social spaces should reflect their time, but they should also transcend it."
-Robert A.M. Stern
LIGHT ON THREE SIDES
This townhouse is 25 feet wide and 56 feet deep with a 40-foot south garden facing another garden. Stepping into the parlor floor takes your breath away. It is a one of a kind townhouse to have light on three sides - south, north and west - with a total of seven windows! The massive, floor to ceiling windows measure an astounding 9'10" -- with 12'10" ceilings on the parlor floor and 14'7" ceiling heights on the top floor - allowing light to pour into every room on every floor and creating an incomparable feeling of soaring space.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Superior design definitely has a timeless attraction. Over the years, iconic films such as Mike Nichols' 1988 "WORKING GIRL" and Robert Redford's 1994 "QUIZ SHOW" are just two of the films that have selected this astounding townhouse setting to represent the residence of a leading character to radiate charisma and success.
ONE OF A KIND HOUSE GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY
This townhouse of four levels plus basement contains 5,834 approximate total square feet above grade plus another 1,515 in the basement, with a deep garden of approximately 1,130 square feet. There may be the possibility to add an additional 3,000 square feet for a total of approximately 8,600 square feet.
Currently arranged as a single-family residence in need of total renovation, the new buyer can take advantage of the superb bones this house offers, but most of all, of its rare and irreplaceable light. The sheer volume and scale of the rooms expands the feeling of interior space and brings the light into the residence like no other house available on the market. This is a rare opportunity may not come again.
TRINITY CHURCH LEGACY
The trustees of Trinity Church created 66 Morton Street in 1852, five years after creating the third Trinity Church, a national landmark deemed "the first and finest example of Gothic Revival architecture in New York." That concept of scale and light pervades this townhouse, drawing in its new buyer who will restore it into a stunning home for the ages.

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.
