Property Description for 228 West 11th Street
Grand 25' Wide West Village Townhouse
Located on one of the most desirable blocks in the West Village between West 4th Street and Waverly Place, 228 West 11th Street is a gorgeous 25-foot wide single-family townhome built in the Greek revival style. Overlooking the magnificent St. John's church gardens from two doors down, and with townhouse gardens on both sides and behind the property, the rear south exposures of this home provide abundant garden and tree views rarely seen anywhere in New York City, especially in a townhouse.
This marvelous home is approximately 6,454 square feet of interior space and 2,461 square feet of exterior space including a gorgeous south garden with a private heated gazebo and hot tub, a large terrace off the parlor floor kitchen with stairs down to the garden, a full-width terrace off the primary bedroom and a magnificent planted roof deck with a heated cabana, sound system and open views in all directions. 228 West 11th Street features unique and beautifully designed interiors throughout with soaring ceilings on every floor, seven wood-burning fireplaces, and restored original hardwood floors. There are 6 bedrooms, two office spaces, and 5 full bathrooms, with the ability to add additional bedrooms if desired. The townhouse was completely renovated within the past 5 years to include: new central heating and cooling throughout with additional radiator heating, a sophisticated hard-wired Lutron lighting system with "all-off" switches, Sonos sound system, new electric systems, new plumbing, and a brand new UV air filter that cleans the air through the entire house every 45 minutes. The property enjoys very low taxes at $36,162/year.
Originally built in 1838 for the successful businessman Richard McCarty, this home retains the original outer doorway with pilasters supporting full entablatures, flanked stoops, and muntined window sashes.

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.
