The home's extensive 2002 renovation included restoring the significantly altered and stucco-ed facade to a version nearly identical to its original state.

Located within the Greenwich Village Historic District, this home is surrounded by the phenomenal architecture, shopping, dining and nightlife that make the West Village one of the most coveted residential neighborhoods in the world. Washington Square Park and sprawling 500-acre Hudson River Park provide abundant outdoor space and recreation. Transportation is effortless with 1, A/C/E, B/D/F/M and PATH trains, excellent bus service and CitiBike stations just minutes from your door.
