The West Village Just Got Its Most Charming Listing of the Year

By Ashley Brennan


New York City has no shortage of gorgeous townhouses, but 29 Grove Street is a cut above the rest.









Listed for the first time in over a century, asking $11.995 million, this Greek Revival townhouse remained in the same family for more than a 100 years, preserving details so rare they feel almost fictional.









The home features a functioning bell-pull doorbell from the pre-electricity era, an original wood-burning kitchen stove, five stunning black-and-gold marble fireplaces, original shutters, gold-leaf detailing. And then there’s the showstopper: a soaring two-story greenhouse tucked behind the house like a secret garden hiding in plain sight.









The four-bedroom home, built in 1841, is also believed to have served as a stop on the Underground Railroad, adding another remarkable chapter to an already extraordinary story.









The home’s caretakers have thoughtfully maintained and restored the property over the years, including updating the roof, façade and outdoor spaces, while preserving the architectural details that make it so special.









Even Actress Sarah Jessica Parker offered her stamp of approval on Instagram!









This historic property is listed with The Harkov-Lewis Team.
