Why this property will seduce you
- Historic Gated Mews: Exclusive access on a private 1833 mews.
- Authentic Artist Studio: Space features a period artist's skylight.
- Private Parking Space: Rare deeded spot accommodating an SUV.
Tucked behind Washington Square Park lies one of the most extraordinary streets in Greenwich Village: a gated mews dating back to 1833, lined with the former carriage houses of the grand mansions of Washington Square Park North.
Positioned in a prime, sunny mid-block location, No. 9 MacDougal Alley was the creative workspace of two of the leading abstract expressionist painters of the 20th century, Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner, both of whom used the townhouse as their studio during the early 1950's.
Encompassing 25 feet in width and approximately 1,500 +/- square feet, this historic 19th-century townhouse is architect-ready for its next chapter as either a single-family home or live/work abode for a designer, artist, or other creative professional. The townhouse extends across three floors and features two full bathrooms, a wood-burning fireplace, a sunny garden with mature plantings, and a magnificent loft-like studio space with a massive artist's skylight, dating back to the period when Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney had her studio nearby.
The townhouse also boasts that rarest of New York City attributes: a deeded parking space directly in front, large enough for a full-sized SUV and a Vespa. The dual kitchens, located on both the ground and second floors, provide flexibility for entertaining. A south-facing balcony off the second floor, accessed through a pair of French doors and bordered with lavender, provides a hint of the country in the middle of one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in the city.
Topping it all off, the roof affords magical views of the mews below and the surrounding landmarks-protected neighborhood; it could easily be decked and landscaped for outdoor entertaining or contemplation. A penthouse could also potentially be added, subject to relevant approvals.
As one of just ten private single-family homes on coveted MacDougal Alley, No. 9 presents a rare opportunity to own a home of exceptional character and soul, deeply woven into the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Greenwich Village.
