An Architectural Landmark on the Greenwich Village Gold Coast Situated on one of the most coveted blocks in Greenwich Village, this exceptional penthouse at 52 West 9th Street offers a rare convergence of historic provenance and contemporary refinement.

Reimagined in 2017 by acclaimed Italian architect Pietro Cicognani, the four-bedroom, four-bathroom duplex penthouse features a private veranda and masterful detailing throughout. The interiors are characterized by restrained elegance, with bespoke Italian finishes, custom millwork, and wide-plank pine floors that lend warmth and continuity. At the heart of the residence stands the great room, a voluminous living and entertaining space defined by 17-foot ceilings and expansive north- and south-facing windows. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the room, while French doors open to a terrace with iconic Empire State Building views. The custom Shaker-style eat-in kitchen on the main level integrates fine cabinetry and artisanal materials with exceptional craftsmanship. The upper level includes a sun-filled bedroom suite, a flexible library or den, a skylit full bathroom, and a windowed walk-in closet. South-facing exposures provide unobstructed views of One World Trade Center, enhancing the suite's tranquil ambiance. The lower level features a serene primary suite with a walk-in closet and a spa-like, windowed en-suite bathroom with a soaking tub, separate shower, and custom vanity. Two additional light-filled bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a spacious laundry room with dual washer-dryer units complete this floor. Modern upgrades include new oversized windows, central air conditioning, designer lighting, and sophisticated finishes throughout. Every element was thoughtfully sourced, with many materials imported directly from Italy. 52 West 9th Street has a storied history. In 1917, W. Forbes Morgan, nephew of J. Pierpont Morgan, acquired the property, which soon became known as the Morgan House. Noted muralist William de Leftwich Dodge later resided here, designing the ornate balcony, grand studio, and the distinctive terracotta medallions that remain today. The home went on to house the Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts, a seminal institution in modern art. In recent years, it served as the residence and studio of renowned painter Eric Fischl and artist April Gornik, reinforcing its cultural and creative pedigree. Set within a boutique, self-managed co-op shared with only one other shareholder, this exceptional residence offers privacy, provenance, and a singular opportunity to own a defining piece of Greenwich Village's architectural legacy. Monthly carrying costs are exceptionally low, further enhancing the appeal of this rare offering. Read Less
