Be West of Fifth
In my 40 plus years of selling Manhattan townhouses, owning a house West of Fifth Avenue has been a mantra of the Village's social legends. The Greek Revival builders of the 1840's catered to this crowd and the luminaries of today are likewise drawn to these few blocks. 57 West 9th Street, mid-block between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, is such a house. An historic 22' wide home with all the sought after elements. Five stories tall and configured as two magnificent duplex apartments and a floor through apartment, the 46' deep garden alone is worth the visit. This tree lined street is arguably the finest collection of uniformly classic Nineteenth Century New York City residential architecture. 57 West 9th is a fine example with its traditional stone stoop, period iron railings and a splendid deeply recessed entry door providing a gracious entryway into the home. The original Flemish brick facade and stone lintels are all here.
