291 W 12TH Street #NA

Welcome home to 291 West 12th Street. This Federal-style brick townhouse offers grand proportions standing at an impressive 21' wide and four stories tall. The home has a commanding presence from first impression, but you'll be enchanted by the charm and character that unfolds within. The stately property features beautifully preserved details throughout, a rare triple exposure on the fourth floor and a quintessential, charming West Village garden in the back. The home is abundant with architectural details and warmth while presenting a buyer with striking spaces and flexibility of use.

The design and footprint of the home offers an array of layout options and can conveniently be converted into a single-family residence thanks to creative planning. Currently configured as an upper triplex over a duplex, this offers a buyer the opportunity to live-in while collecting strong income from the lower rental. As a single-family home, the first floor could comfortably accommodate an in-law suite or additional bedrooms for the house. The owners thoughtfully set the homes up providing generous privacy between the primary living quarters of each unit but with the maximum ease of conversion into a single-family townhouse. They carefully preserved the building's original details throughout the home including wide oak plank flooring, original woodwork, decorative fireplace mantels and two functioning fireplaces, built-in bookshelves and much more. You'll find high soaring ceilings on the parlor level which is matched by the double height windows that bring in tremendous natural light. This floor could be transformed into a gorgeous entertaining level with an open floor plan, wrap around kitchen, working fireplaces surrounded by built-in bookshelves and direct access out to your balcony or deck. Have a look at the alternative floor plan for some inspiration. The home beautifully marries the original details of the property with modern updates. The top floor is a treat offering a nod to Hamptons style with clean and crisp lines showcased by endless light beaming throughout from the triple exposures and additional skylights. You'll find balconies off of the second and fourth floors that provide both units with indoor/outdoor living. There are four bathrooms in the property, one located on each floor. The garden is a tranquil retreat, enclosed by walls of ivy, providing the perfect respite from the everyday hustle of city life. A unique quality of the property is the maximum privacy provided by the enclosed garden.

Whether you are looking to have this home as a live-in with rental income, a high-income producing investment, or want to turn it into the single-family home of your dreams, there are fantastic opportunities here to explore. The incredible location puts you at the heart of it all. Catch brunch across the street at the famous Cafe Cluny. Pass down the block and enjoy some green space at Abingdon Square Park. Spend your mornings in your tranquil retreat and feel the pulse of the city begin right outside the front door.

Additional attributes of the property include: split system A/C on multiple floors, laundry in basement and in unit, two working fireplaces, two balconies off of the second and fourth floors, and substantial basement storage (an additional 800+ sq feet).
