This extraordinary West Village townhouse has it all. Superb original architectural detail is found throughout the flexible layout, boasting impressive scale with high ceilings, enlivened by a dramatic double-height skylit artist’s studio. The 20-foot-wide home spans 5,344 interior square feet above-grade, with a 980 square foot cellar and a total… Read More of 1,695 square feet of outdoor space. Exterior details of the light-flooded, five-story townhouse include a handsome brick facade trimmed in brownstone and a stoop adorned with elegant ironwork. This exceptional historic townhouse is one of a pair built in 1853 by Linus Scudder, a brick mason and well-known builder in Greenwich Village in the mid-19th century and was home to the family of noted philanthropist and civic leader John P. Faure until 1920. In 1927, a two-story artist’s studio with a vast sloping skylight was added on the fourth floor. At this time, the windows on the third floor were extended, and an attractive picture window was installed, enhancing the light and views of the parlor level. Dappled in natural sunlight, the townhouse boasts 7 wood-burning fireplaces, many with original 19th-century marble mantelpieces. The house is well-situated, located mid-block overlooking the neighboring townhouses and gardens on a quintessential tree-lined West Village block. West 11th Street, known for its pleasing scale and for many landmark townhouse sales, is one of the most sought-after within the boundaries of the Greenwich Village Historic District, designated on April 29, 1969. The 95-foot deep lot is surrounded by a lush oasis of mature trees, and features a serene south garden and a large roof deck with open southern and western exposures. 238 West 11th Street represents the rare opportunity to own an exceptional historic home located on one of the most charming of the quiet residential streets in all the West Village.
