Property Description for 51 Barrow Street
This historic "Best Priced" townhome at 51 Barrow Street is a remarkable gem on one of the most desirable blocks in the renowned West Village. Built in 1826, this Federal residence has undergone a meticulous restoration to reclaim the original style. Spread across four levels and spanning an impressive 20-foot width, this classic townhome is a blend of historical details. The preservation of fireplaces - with both wood-burning and decorative options - adds to its charm.
As you enter the front hall, natural light floods the original stairs, particularly on the parlor floor where a spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace creates a welcoming ambiance. A powder room and a seamless connection to the south-facing outdoor space makes this floor perfect for both day-to-day living and entertaining guests. Descending to the lower level, the dining and kitchen rooms are warm, comfortable, and inviting. Original wood beams add touches of sophistication and charm to these rooms, plus there is the promise of delicious meals to come.
The second floor is dedicated to the primary bedroom suite, offering a full floor of luxurious comfort with northern and southern exposures, a full bath, and a generously sized dressing room. The third floor boasts a large bedroom and an office or potential third bedroom. A full bath completes the floor, providing versatility and functionality to suit various lifestyle needs.
This home beautifully marries historical allure with modern comforts. The original brick facade, complemented by brownstone accents, stands as a testament to its timeless aesthetic. It holds a captivating history, experiencing numerous transformations over the years, and now stands as a true testament to historic preservation and modern living in the heart of the iconic West Village.
51 Barrow Street is minutes away from the best of Greenwich Village: good transportation with two subway lines - IRT #1 local and IND 6th Avenue and 8th Avenue local and express lines; north/south and crosstown bus lines; two full service grocery stores and many and varied specialty stores; four movie theatres; many parks including Washington Square Park and the newer Hudson River Park; schools such as New York University and the New School; jazz clubs and other music venues; performance spaces; and a selection of restaurants that could satisfy anyone's mood, curiosity or craving.

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.
