125 W 11th St, New York, NY 10011

Historic Single-Family Mansion with Elevator in the Heart of Greenwich Village This 1849 Greek revival home, fresh from a three years-long renovation, is approximately 7,878 interior square feet and 805 exterior square feet between the private patio and two terraces. Available for the first time in nearly 70 years, 125 West 11th Street is a remarkable 22’4” ft-wide, six-story single-family townhome with an elevator serving the garden level up to the sixth floor. For 150 years, artists have lived and worked at 125 West 11th St. In the 1880s, the great American sculptor Daniel Chester French, creator of the Seated Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial, built the house’s spectacular paneled studio with 30’ ceilings and three massive skylights at the garden level. Later, the modern dancer Valerie Bettis used the famous studio to choreograph works for stage and film, including many routines for Rita Hayworth. Most recently 125 W 11th has been home to three generations of artists, as well as a social hub for some of Greenwich Village’s most illustrious creative spirits. This exceptional and historic house features grand living and entertaining spaces, soaring ceilings, three wood burning fireplaces, central air conditioning, 7 well-proportioned bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, three unique artists’ studios, and sunny, tranquil outdoor space.
