Property Description for 240 West 12th Street
240 West 12th Street offers the opportunity to renovate a large townhouse in the heart of the West Village for yourself. Sitting on a quaint cobblestone street off the corner of Greenwich Avenue, the location offers both quiet and convenience.
The house is believed to have been built in 1867 in the Italianate period with a Federalist style influence. The high ceilings throughout offer an added sense of spaciousness and an abundance of light to the over 4100 square feet. There is also over 1000 square feet of usable space in the basement. The house was built 22 feet wide and 47 feet deep on a 73 foot deep lot. A lovely south facing garden is accessed from the garden and parlor levels.
The house currently consists of an owner's triplex (including the basement) and two free market floor-through rentals. If desired the house can be delivered vacant. With a yearly tax bill of only $24,865, this is an affordable opportunity for a purchaser to modernize a historic home in one of Manhattan's finest neighborhoods.

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.
