54 7th Ave New York, NY 10011

A property brimming with history and a lineage of notable owners, 54 Seventh Avenue South is one of the most unique offerings available today. Set within a lush oasis of mature trees and accessible from the street by a pedestrian entrance or a gated driveway (with parking for two cars) sits this nea...r-freestanding building spanning nearly 6,000 square feet of interior space with an additional 3,500+ square feet of outdoor area. Currently configured as three separate spaces – a ground floor gallery or artist’s studio, a second floor 2-bedroom accessory apartment, and an owner’s duplex penthouse – there are endless possibilities for how these areas can adapt to your use. The first floor commercial or gallery space is exceptionally deep with ceiling heights over 10 feet, a kitchenette, powder room, and separate office space, opening onto a 60-foot wide south facing garden as well as a smaller private garden facing west. Access is provided to the cellar, which stretches the full depth of the building and has ceiling heights over eight feet. On the second level, a full floor 2-bedroom, 1-bath guest apartment overlooks the garden below and can potentially be combined with the duplex above to create a trophy triplex residence. Heading to the third floor begins the owner’s duplex, with an impressively scaled living/dining room with 12-foot beamed ceilings, exposed brick walls and original timber lintels. A gut-renovated kitchen features an exceptional amount of cabinet space, stainless steel countertops, and treed exposures. Three bedrooms are found across both levels of this duplex, including the primary suite which spans half a floor and includes a windowed dressing room, bed chamber with triple exposures and original beamed ceilings, and an en-suite bathroom with double vanity, shower, and soaking tub. Two full baths and a laundry room with vented dryer are also contained within the owner’s unit. At the top of the building lies a spellbinding roof terrace, expansive in scale and with views from the West Village to midtown Manhattan. A rare opportunity to own an impressively scaled multi-use property in the heart of the West Village with private gated parking – an almost unheard-of combination.
