Location: South side of 12th Street between Fifth Avenue & Sixth Avenue

Description: Built in 1843 as an investment by attorney Daniel A. Baldwin, this handsome Greek Revival brick townhouse at 56 West 12th street was one of 16 homes (54-84 West 12th Street). Located in one of the best neighborhoods in the city with low-key round the clock activity, this tree-lined street is considered to be the ?Gold Coast? of Greenwich Village. This four-unit multi-family townhouse has the potential of being restored to its original single family glory. It offers three stories plus garden floor and a cellar, 19+ feet width, approximately 3,800 gross square feet and a large sun-filled garden with southern exposure. With its original dentiled roof cornice details and skylight, this residence offers the owner all the perks of New York City life, coupled with the quiet and calm that comes with owning your own residence in the heart of the Gold Coast. Washington Square Park was originally purchased by New York City in the late 1700?s with an intended use as a potter?s field and public gallows. Since then, the neighborhood has developed around the park through the growth of commerce, academia and the arts, which created a demand for housing. This block attracts professionals and philanthropists, actors and artists, publishers and politicos, celebrities and novelists. These row-townhouses have become distinctive to Greenwich Village, and the area?s colorful atmosphere is often home to outdoor festivals, street vendors, and a myriad of free artistic performances for the family.


The property is being sold in ?as is? condition, and provides the future owner an opportunity to create their own personal oasis on a block that has been home to Winfield Scott, Jimi Hendrix, Marisa Tomei, Meryl Streep, and David Byrne. There are presently four decontrolled apartments being leased, with the final lease expiring on April 30th, 2014.
