43 W 12TH St

Townhouse is being offered partially furnished

Welcome home to 43 West 12th street perfectly situated in the heart of the Greenwich Village Historic District on one of Manhattan's most desirable residential blocks between 5th and 6th avenues.

Originally constructed in 1861, this remarkable home was reimagined by renowned architect Todd Poisson of BKSK Architects, who transformed the historic structure into a bespoke modern residence. Meticulously designed for both intimate daily living and gracious entertaining, the home's abundant natural light and seamless flow of perfectly scaled rooms create a sense of loft-like openness rarely found in New York City townhouses. Every level of this one-of-a-kind property showcases the highest caliber of design, craftsmanship, and custom finishes. Currently configured with four bedrooms and three-and-a-half renovated bathrooms, the versatile layout can easily accommodate a fifth bedroom along with an additional home office, den, or playroom. Modern convenience is further enhanced by a recently upgraded Sonos system with integrated speakers and a newly modernized lighting system throughout the entire residence.

Upon entering the home, one cannot help but notice the dramatic cantilevered staircase-finished in steel and wood-which runs through the six-story residence. A Marmorino Venetian plaster feature wall vertically connects the spaces, while a grand skylight at the top bathes the entire home in brilliant sunlight throughout the day. The property also features a beautifully landscaped roof garden with two entertaining spaces, complete with custom Sonos speakers, an outdoor gas grill, and a convenient indoor wet bar area.

Throughout this luxurious residence, fine craftsmanship is evident in the exotic Brazilian walnut floors, custom millwork, and Marvin insulated double-hung wood windows.
