Notable for its 22' width, dormer windows and exclusive rear yard access, this landmarked property features a picturesque horsewalk located behind a wooden door that leads to a secret garden and a magical back house - 7 Leroy Street. Its facade reimagined by a Broadway stage designer in the '60s, 7 Leroy has been completely renovated by its current owner and features three cozy bedrooms (the primary with its own private terrace and en-suite bathroom), two and a half bathrooms, a private roof deck, Kitchenaid and Miele appliances, Kohler and Schlage fixtures, and its own security system. The house is equipped with split system AC, radiator heat, new wiring, plumbing, and mechanical systems, wide-plank floors, and a wood-burning fireplace. There's also a shared courtyard for bikes, relaxing and entertaining family and friends.
Inside the front townhouse, the residences have been thoughtfully renovated to accommodate modern living while preserving their rich historical charm. Now configured as four private apartments, one on each floor, each unit offers a cozy retreat infused with period details, timeless appeal and, in three of the units, wood-burning fireplaces.
Located in one of New York's most desirable neighborhoods, 7 Leroy Street is more than just a home - it's a proud piece of American history where Founding Fathers George Washington, John Adams and Alexander Hamilton once walked its hallowed grounds. This is the perfect opportunity for those who value architectural heritage, unique urban spaces, and the vibrancy of West Village living to turn 7 Leroy into their legacy.

Quick Profile
Birthplace of beatniks, Greenwich Village has always been a neighborhood bursting with creativity, home to artists, poets, musicians and writers. There is a lot of foot traffic in the neighborhood, as it gives convenient access to many other neighborhoods. There are a lot of popular eateries on MacDougal Street and bars on Bleecker Street. The neighborhood has a bit of a college-town feel, due to the presence of NYU. There aren’t large chain stores here, so it isn’t really a mecca for shopaholics, but you can find interesting vintage stores and specialty boutiques.
Available housing is centered on pre-war walk-ups. You can find good deals on the quieter, tree-lined side streets, as opposed to the bustling avenues. There are pockets of brownstones and townhouses, some dating back to the early 19th century, throughout the neighborhood, as well. You will find more luxurious housing in the newer high-rise buildings on Park and Fifth Avenues.
Washington Square Park is the heart of the neighborhood. If you sit near the Arch and close your eyes, you might catch an echo of the music and social history of the Park, floating through the air. Greats like Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and Paul Simon started their storied careers right here in Greenwich Village. Today, the Village is a celebration of diversity, where everyone is welcome.
