62 West 11th Street #2F

Sixty-two West 11th Street belongs to a row of four Italianate townhouses built in 1853, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues on one of the Village’s prettiest blocks. The four houses were long ago stitched together into a single sixteen-unit cooperative, deep inside the Greenwich Village Historic District, but the prewar bones survive intact.

Residence 2F is a half-floor that keeps the height of the original parlor, with eleven-foot ceilings, a wall of exposed brick, and a wood-burning fireplace that still works. The kitchen pairs a Viking range with a Liebherr refrigerator; the bath holds a claw-foot soaking tub and Lefroy Brooks fittings; and a large storage room sits below the bedroom, a rarity downtown.

The block is the quiet center of the West Village’s restaurant belt, with Via Carota and I Sodi around the corner and Bleecker Street shopping a short walk away. It is a one-bedroom that lives like a piece of the 1850s, kept current.
