29 Grove St, New York, NY 10014

Description

Built in 1841, this Greek Revival single-family home is located on one of the most coveted blocks in the West Village. Behind a beautifully restored facade, the 21-foot-wide townhouse offers a meticulously maintained interior space rich in history and character. The house, held by the same family for 100 years, is currently configured with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths.

The parlor floor features soaring 11-foot ceilings, creating an extraordinary sense of scale and grandeur. Exquisite original details include a gold leaf pier mirror, beautiful crown molding throughout, and stunning front and interior doors. Historic details such as the five black and gold-veined marble mantles, original shutters, and the original wood-burning kitchen range showcase the home's 19th-century character. Also remaining are the original cast-iron boot scraper and functioning bell-pull doorbell at the entry. Together, these details make 29 Grove St one of the most authentically preserved Greek Revival townhouses in the West Village.

At the rear, a sun-flooded two-story greenhouse is a true showpiece, offering a serene retreat rarely found in the middle of Manhattan. The backyard has been leveled creating an open and functional space. There is also potential to add approximately 1,375 square feet, subject to verification by an architect, allowing for future expansion tailored to your vision.

Thoughtful updates over the last seven years - a new roof and restored facade, cellar, doors, railings, rear chimney, and bluestone pavers - preserve the home's integrity as it enters its next chapter.

Grove Street is one of the West Village's most picturesque blocks, with cobblestone streets, boutique shops, celebrated restaurants such as Via Carota and Buvette and charming tree-lined avenues. The nearby 1, A, B, C, D, E, F, and M subway lines put the rest of the city within easy reach. From historic landmarks to vibrant culture, West Village offers an unmatched blend of character, charm, and quintessential New York living.
