One of the only turnkey historic townhomes available in the West Village, this beautifully renovated 23-foot-wide, four-story showplace features four luxurious bedroom suites, exceptional designer interiors, an elevator and two levels of idyllic outdoor space on charming Barrow Street.
Inside the 5,336-square-foot townhouse, tall ceilings with recessed and designer light fixtures soar above hardwood floors, seven wood-burning fireplaces and updated extra-tall windows. A classic high stoop flanked by exquisite ironwork ushers you into the main entertaining level, where a large living room wrapped in custom built-ins flows to a formal dining room and a sitting room flanked by a convenient midnight kitchen. A powder room and coat closets complete the well-planned level.
Board your private elevator or descend the handsome staircase to explore the inviting indoor-outdoor garden level. Here, exposed beam ceilings, stone tile floors and brick walls nod to the home's historic origins. Enjoy a second powder room and plenty of space for casual dining and relaxing alongside a spectacular chef's kitchen anchored by a waterfall breakfast counter. French doors tempt you out to the magnificent garden surrounded by tall privacy walls, a pergola seating area and a lush canopy of trees. A bedroom suite on this level is perfect for guests or staff. Downstairs, the fully finished, full-height cellar level easily accommodates a family room or home gym encircled by numerous closets and a large laundry room.
Head to the top level to explore the full-floor primary suite, an expansive sanctuary featuring a king-size bedroom with treetop views and a fireplace. Rows of closets flank a large packing island in the model-worthy dressing area. Ahead, the spa bathroom of your dreams boasts a jetted soaking tub, walk-in shower, and fireplace under dramatic atrium windows. On the third floor, you'll find two more secondary suites with private bathrooms and walk-in closets — one opens to its own extra-large private terrace. This move-in ready home's extensive updates include a new roof and smart home wiring.
Nestled in the highly desirable Greenwich Village Historic District, 42 Barrow sits among a charming row of six brick Italianate townhouses built in 1851 by Smith Woodruff.

Located on a quintessential tree-lined block in the heart of the West Village, this home is surrounded by the fantastic architecture, shopping, dining and nightlife that make this one of the world's most coveted residential enclaves. Washington Square Park and sprawling Hudson River Park provide abundant outdoor space and world-class recreation, with The High Line, Gansevoort Beach and Little Island just over a half-mile away.

Units in this building are listed below the neighborhood average, potentially offering better value per square foot compared to surrounding properties.
The West Village is the charming, bohemian heart of New York City. With its winding, off-grid streets, Federalist townhouses, and literary history, it is widely considered the most romantic neighborhood in Manhattan. For buyers seeking West Village Manhattan real estate, it offers a village-like atmosphere that feels miles away from the city grid.
Living in the West Village is intimate and stylish. It is a neighborhood of sidewalk cafes, jazz clubs, and hidden gardens. As a landmarked Manhattan NYC neighborhood, it has fiercely protected its low-rise scale and artistic soul.
The market for homes for sale in the West Village is famously expensive and low-inventory. It is dominated by historic brownstones and pre-war co-ops. A full townhouse here is a trophy asset.
New development is extremely limited due to landmark protections, making any available unit highly competitive. It attracts celebrities, writers, and finance professionals who want the "real" New York aesthetic.
The lifestyle in the West Village is European in pace. Residents spend hours at cafes like Sant Ambroeus and Via Carota. The nightlife is legendary but sophisticated, centered around piano bars and historic taverns.
The community is a mix of long-time residents who remember its bohemian days and newer, wealthier arrivals. Despite the wealth, it retains a quirky, neighborly vibe where people know each other.
The West Village is served by the 1/2/3 trains at 14th St and Christopher St, and the A/C/E/L at 14th St. The W 4th St station is a major hub connecting nearly all lines (A, B, C, D, E, F, M).
It is one of the most walkable neighborhoods in the city, though the confusing street layout (where W 4th crosses W 10th) can baffle newcomers.
Hudson River Park provides the neighborhood's backyard, with piers for lounging and jogging. The small, triangular parks like Abingdon Square are cherished local meeting spots.
Amenities are boutique-focused. You won't find many chains here; instead, you have independent bookstores, cheese shops, and some of the best Italian restaurants in America.
The West Village is best for romantics, culture vultures, and buyers who want to live in the most picturesque, human-scale part of Manhattan.
