An Extraordinary Circa-1830 Property in the West Village Wants $8M

The charming West Village has room for some new, history-loving residents. An 1830-built townhouse, complete with a carriage house in back, has hit the market in the neighborhood with a price tag of $7.995 million. The three-story structures are gorgeous examples of pre-industrial design, so buyers with deep pockets may act fast.

The Renaissance Revival home sits watch at 10 Bedford Street, a long-standing sentinel that has seen the city landscape change alongside its interiors. Together with the carriage house, the property totals 5 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, with the latter boasting one of each. Sandwiched between the two buildings is a garden split in two, one half a walkway protected by iron-wrought banisters and the other a sunken space, all moss and raised flowerbeds. A roof deck atop the main house overlooks all of the action.

At present, the main house is spit up into two apartments; the upper section gets three bedrooms and roof access, while the lower has just one but gets the garden exclusively. The current configuration easily done away with, the space is soaked in potential to become a single-family home, with its prim period details serving as icing on the cake.

For more information on 10 Bedford Street, Pamela D’Arc of Compass has the listing, which Curbed first reported is for sale.
