Grand in scale and rich in history, 10 West 9th Street is a 25-foot-wide, approximately 7,600 square foot townhouse located in Greenwich Village's prime Gold Coast, steps away from Fifth Avenue and Washington Square Park. Constructed in 1841 by wealthy lumber merchant Thomas McKie, the six-story Greek Revival embodies the… Read More elegance of its era and represents a rare opportunity, the first in six decades, to own this unique example of Greenwich Village history and become part of its next chapter. For almost two centuries, this home, situated on the south side of West 9th Street, has welcomed an extraordinary array of residents and visitors and been a vibrant salon for notable artists, writers and intellectuals, reflecting the energy and originality that has always defined this neighborhood. Today, this commanding townhouse stands as a beautifully preserved architectural gem and a testament to the artistic and cultural legacy of Greenwich Village. The home's architecture is as special as its history. A beautiful, copper mansard roof frames an impossible-to-duplicate two-story skylight window wall that floods the 5th floor duplex and its 17' ceilings with gentle Northern light. These top two floors were constructed in 1922 by famed artist William Glackens, founder of the Ashcan School, and his wife, artist Edith Dimock, who used them as a grand artist's studio complete with a 5th floor terrace overlooking the garden and trees. Glackens' work was highly collected and has hung in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Corcoran Gallery, Carnegie Institute, Addison Gallery, and many notable private collections. The parlor floor features a huge, open-plan living and dining room, ceilings that soar more than 13', two antique fireplaces, beautiful pilasters, capitals and moldings, and massive restored doors. A full-width, floor-to-ceiling window wall leads to the rear terrace, which opens onto a large, sunny, south-facing private garden flanked by tall, mature trees. The garden level offers the possibility of an enormous, full-length, floor-through space opening directly into the rear garden, or can be kept in its current configuration, which includes a studio apartment with a separate under-stoop entrance, perfect for guests, household help or office use. A full sub-basement, which can be reimagined as a fitness center/spa/playroom/theatre, currently houses the boiler and huge storage areas. The house features other impressive architectural details, including six fireplaces (some with original mantels and surrounds), an original Dutch oven, ceilings of more than 11' in the 3rd floor bedrooms, two additional 6th floor skylights, a warm brick facade trimmed in brownstone, a dramatic stoop with intricate ironwork incorporating rosettes, palmettes and Greek key motifs, an entry door framed by tall pilasters capped with acanthus capitals, and a three-paned transom that allows natural light into the exterior foyer. A grandfathered, four-story rear extension lends itself to many possible uses for the future homeowner, including a breakfast room, home offices, guest rooms and additional private outdoor spaces. Subject to LPC and DOB approval, it could also be used as the basis to expand the property's current footprint, an effort successfully accomplished by several neighbors in the past decade. This extra-wide, six-story townhouse and south-facing garden can be delivered vacant, and in today's marketplace is perfectly positioned to be restored to its original grandeur as a personal Greenwich Village mansion. Don't miss this opportunity to call 10 West 9th Street your own. Additional marketing materials are available upon request, and tours are strictly by appointment only. Read Less
