Property Description for 23 Washington Square North
Built in 1836, this exceptionally rare 27.25-foot-wide Greek Revival townhouse commands a premier position overlooking Washington Square Park, one of Greenwich Village's most prestigious and tightly held addresses. With its remarkable scale, architectural presence, and coveted location, the property represents one of the neighborhood's most significant offerings.
Currently configured as seven apartments, the approximately 10,800-square-foot residence includes a three-bedroom garden apartment, two expansive full-floor two-bedroom residences, and four well-proportioned one-bedroom apartments. The substantial footprint and flexible layout present an extraordinary opportunity to create a grand single-family mansion, live-with-income residence, nonprofit or institutional headquarters, or long-term investment.
The stately Greek Revival facade is distinguished by Flemish-bond brickwork, elongated French windows, and an elegant high stoop crowned by paneled double doors. Inside, magnificent proportions, soaring ceiling heights on the parlor and uppermost levels, and abundant natural light create a sense of grandeur rarely found in Manhattan townhouses.
A private rooftop terrace crowns the residence, offering rare outdoor space with sweeping skyline views, including direct sightlines to the Empire State Building. Held by the same family for more than 60 years and the first townhouse to come to market on Washington Square Park in a decade, this is a truly once-in-a-generation opportunity to steward one of Greenwich Village's most iconic homes.

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.
