34 West 12th Street

Welcome to this palatial mid-19th-century designer townhome that spreads over 7,000 square feet of pristine interior space and nearly 2,000 square feet of private outdoor space beneath an exquisitely restored Italianate brownstone facade.

Rising 6 stories with 5 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, and 3 powder rooms, this 21-foot-wide residence underwent an extensive three-year renovation under the expert care of award-winning architecture and design firm StudioSC . Interiors are modern yet refined, complete with an elevator, Savant home automation system that links seamlessly to control shades, lighting, music, and security, motorized blinds, state-of-the-art systems, radiant heated floors throughout, and a 14-zone HVAC with linear diffusers.

ELEGANT AND INVITING LIVING, DINING, AND ENTERTAINING

The garden and parlor levels contain formal living and dining rooms that embody a convergence of heritage and modern craftsmanship. Throughout these floors, detailing includes arched entryways, heritage wainscoting, mosaic tiling, walnut-lined built-ins, and imported white oak chevron floors from Spain. Lighting design is sophisticated: recessed fixtures by Belgian company Delta Lighting are paired with sculptural sconces and pendants by renowned artisans such as Roll & Hill, Allied Maker, and Apparatus.

On the parlor level, airy ceilings soar above 11.5 feet. A formal dining room anchors the north end, while a charming archway leads into the formal living room, drenched in southern light. Clay and wood-paneled walls, a decorative Calacatta Rubino marble mantel, built-in wet bar, and the garden-facing terrace elevate the atmosphere.

On the garden level, a cozy den with custom walnut built-ins flows into a sun-splashed casual dining area and a chef's kitchen. The kitchen showcases bespoke millwork and custom walnut cabinetry, anchored by a massive eat-in island clad in polished Breccia Capraia marble. High-end appliances include a 6-burner gas range and handcrafted hood by L'Atelier Paris , two L'Atelier sinks, a wall-mounted pot filler, and abundant storage including a walk-in pantry. Accordion-style glass doors open to the lush rear garden, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors.

PRIVATE, SPACIOUS BEDROOMS

The third and fifth levels house four bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms and built-out closets. The entire fourth level is a full-floor primary suite with three custom Ornare walnut walk-in closets imported from Italy , a decorative Caldia Verde marble mantel, and a spa bathroom with Tundra Grey imported marble, fluted glass double walk-in shower, a custom double vanity with Waterworks fixtures, and a freestanding Duravit soaking tub.

MANICURED OUTDOOR ESCAPES

Four distinct outdoor spaces include a gated front garden, multi-level backyard, parlor-level terrace, and rooftop deck. The landscaped rear yard and roof terrace feature imported ipe wood decking, real cobblestones, and robust plantings, including large trees that were hand-carried through the site during construction. The backyard is complete with an outdoor kitchen, grill, stone pavers, and integrated lighting and sound. The rooftop sun deck provides planters, multiple seating areas, and expansive views.
