A Historic Treasure in the West Village: The Isaacs-Hendricks House

By Liat Salama

Nestled in the heart of the West Village, the Isaacs-Hendricks House, built in 1799, holds the title of the neighborhood's oldest home. Listed for $12 million, this Federal-style 4-bedroom townhouse is also one of the oldest free-standing structures in all of Manhattan.

Key features include wide-plank yellow pine floors, six wood-burning fireplaces, and handcrafted copper accents—a nod to its original copper-merchant owners who were agents to Paul Revere. The current owners thoughtfully included copper accents throughout the home as an homage to the property’s past.

Boasting four floors, the home sits at the charming corner of Bedford and Commerce Streets, many of the home’s original details have been painstakingly preserved.

Stepping into the English Garden floor is like stepping back in time. It hosts an exquisite chef’s eat-in kitchen, including a 60” Wolf range with a stunning copper hood (of course!), and a large walk-in pantry. There is also access to the back patio from this floor.
