52 W 9th Street, New York City, NY 10011

Exquisite gut-renovated triplex penthouse with double-height ceilings, located on a prime Gold Coast Greenwich Village block.

52 West 9th Street is a 25 foot wide by 93 feet deep Townhouse built in 1849, and is one of the most distinctive houses downtown. Completely renovated in 2017 by Italian architect Pietro Cicognani, this 4-bedroom 4-bathroom (with a terrace) Penthouse is a masterpiece of warm minimalism.

The centerpiece of the home is the great room, which features a 17’ double height ceiling with oversized windows which flood the space with Northern and Southern light, and a wood burning fireplace. French doors lead you to the charming terrace where you enjoy quintessential Empire State Building views. One of the most notable features are the extremely wide plank pine floors all throughout the home. The main floor has the eat-in Shaker-style kitchen with custom finishes and fine wooden cabinetry.

The top floor of the home has a large bedroom suite, flexible library/den space, windowed walk in closet, and a full bathroom with a skylight. This floor also features Southern light with unobstructed views of the Freedom Tower.

Downstairs you’ll find the remaining 3 bedrooms. The primary suite has a walk in closet, windowed full bathroom with a large soaking tub, shower, and vanity. Two secondary bedrooms featuring oversized windows, another full bathroom, and laundry room with 2 fully fitted washer dryer units.

As part of the gut renovation to combine both floors, the home has new oversized windows and a central air conditioning system.

52 West 9th has a rich, well-documented history: it was Mr. W. Forbes Morgan’s residence, nephew of J. Pierpont Morgan, who purchased it in 1917 ( called Morgan house). After, William De Leftwich Dodge, one of America’s leading mural painters, lived here and designed the balcony and terracotta medallions. Later it became Hans Hoffman School of Fine Arts, before once again returning to a residence. There is only one other owner in this self-managed co-op in the heart of Greenwich Village surrounded by all the best shopping, parks, theaters and more. Nearby transportation includes the PATH train and multiple subway lines (B/D/FM, A/C/E, 1), plus a Citi Bike station within 1 block
