• Features: THE RAREST OF OFFERINGS: Nearly 85' of street frontage in the heart of the West Village. Very rarely does a corner townhouse in the West Village come to market. With the ability to combine with the neighboring home providing approximately 40' of frontage on the most prized street in all of the West Village, West 11th Street, and an additional 45' of frontage on Waverly Place, the opportunities abound, to create approximately 9, 000 square foot mansion with 3 exposures. Offering views on to the picturesque West Village streets, sweeping views across Manhattan and outdoor space that rivals the finest Penthouses in the city, this is an opportunity for the most discerning of buyers. With 212-214 West 11th's location among neighboring townhouses, the low rise buildings of the Village, and being a corner residence, it is positioned perfectly to capitalize on dramatic midtown, Village and World Trade Center views. Dubbed 'The Power Block' by The Wall Street Journal, West 11th Street is also one of the most quaint, storied, and sought after streets in Manhattan. Record setting sales on 11th to luminaries in the worlds of finance, tech, fashion and entertainment coupled with the beloved nearby restaurants, bars, cafes and shops that blend seamlessly into the West Village's historic streetscape have elevated it to near cult status for domestic and international buyers alike. The grand scale and proportions are not to be overlooked. With only 12 properties in the West Village that are nearly 40 feet wide that have been converted to, or are in the process of being converted to, single family homes, this is truly the rarest of assets in the most sought after neighborhood in the city. 212-214 West 11th's grand scale and proportions provide the perfect canvas and opportunity for the prolific architect of your choice to design a single family residence of unparalleled quality and singular characteristics that will position it among the most compelling homes ever created in Manhattan.
