Description

The stunning 5-story townhome at 48 Commerce St. presents timeless luxury living in the heart of the West Village, one of New York City’s most coveted neighborhoods. Brimming with potential, this residence offers the opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind dream home in a beloved Manhattan location.

Set on an expansive lot with almost 5,000 square feet of living space and a width of 20 feet, this residence can accommodate at least 6 bedrooms, each with its own office and walk-in closet. With 8 full baths, residents and guests enjoy comfort and privacy. Features include 9 wood-burning fireplaces, a rear patio, a front garden, and rooftop space that allows for a deck with skyline views. 48 Commerce St. unites enduring charm with a rich history.

Originally built in 1844 on land once owned by Queen Anne, the building was restored in 1994. Located along the curve of Commerce St.—one of the most photographed locations in the city—this home sits amidst tree-lined streets, near upscale shops, restaurants, and cafes. Delivered fully vacant, the home represents the opportunity for a one-of-a-kind single-family conversion, starting with a blank canvas for a buyer with the most impeccable taste.
