For 150 years, artists have lived and worked at 125 West 11th St. In the 1880s, the great American sculptor Daniel Chester French, creator of the Seated Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial, built the house's spectacular paneled studio with 30 ceilings and three massive skylights at the garden level. Later, the modern dancer Valerie Bettis used the famous studio to choreograph works for stage and film, including many routines for Rita Hayworth. Most recently 125 W 11th has been home to three generations of artists, as well as a social hub for some of Greenwich Village's most illustrious creative spirits. This exceptional and historic house features grand living and entertaining spaces, soaring ceilings, three wood burning fireplaces, central air conditioning, 7 well-proportioned bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, three unique artists studios, and sunny, tranquil outdoor space.
