The home is 25-feet wide and features a curb cut. The ground floor is currently used as a gallery space, lit by huge skylights, while the main living area is on the second floor just off a massive terrace. The current configuration puts three large bedrooms on the third floor surrounding a full bath, while a full roof deck above delivers lovely views of the historic West Village. Set in the Greenwich Village Historic District Extension II, this home provides the perfect canvas to create the home of your dreams while owning a slice of Manhattan history.

Located at the corner of Downing Street and Bedford Street, this home is surrounded by the great restaurants the West Village is known for, including local favorites Blue Ribbon, Da Silvano and Bar Pitti. Small parks dot the neighborhood and Washington Square Park is just blocks away providing ample greenspace. Transportation is effortless with 1, A/C/E, B/D/F/M and PATH trains nearby.
