81 JANE Street #House Manhattan, NY 10014

** Quintessential, tree-lined, cobblestoned West Village block ** Owned by the same family for generations, 81 Jane Street is available for sale for the first time in nearly 75 years. This historic 20.75' wide townhouse is located in the heart of the West Village Historic District, on a beautiful tree-lined street with Belgian Block pavers – one of only a few such streets left in New York City. 81 Jane sits at one end of a noteworthy row of six Greek Revival townhomes developed by Peter Van Antwerp in 1846/1847. Over the years, the house has received many interesting visitors – Julia Child, James Beard, Amy Schumer, and Annie Leibovitz, just to name a few!

The interior space is approximately 4,582 square feet (1397 m) and the exterior (private garden and top floor terrace) is over 900 square feet (274 m).

The house has retained many original details throughout including the wide-plank pine floors on every level, pocket doors and beautiful dentil moldings on the parlor floor, six decorative fireplaces throughout, and the wrought-iron Greek Revival hand railings with elaborate castings. The parlor floor welcomes you with 10'3” ceilings which add to the sense of space, light, and openness.
