262 West 11 Street   Unit HOUSE

A rarity among rarities on Billionaires" Row! To call The Heroy House unique is not an exaggeration. With its combination of versatile space and abundant light, preserved historical details and room for imagination, landmark location and latitude for contemporary transformation, this townhouse on the most distinguished block of the West Village comes to the market in early April. The Heroy House is a stately 5-story, 21'-wide brownstone and brick townhouse with a stoop and a rarely-found horse walk/ alleyway offering private access to the south-facing garden oasis. Named after its builder and first occupant, master sashmaker Lavinius C. Heroy, this elegant townhouse offers over 5000 square feet of blank slate for your imagination, though you and your architect will likely be inspired to keep some of its stunning detail as you begin dreaming. As a semi-detached townhouse with three exposures on one floor and four on another. With a skylight over the staircase, the home is more luminous than row homes with only two exposures. This extra light allows for more possibilities, more interior bedrooms and more opportunity for living spaces facing the glowing southern garden. In addition to its abundant and versatile indoor space, the Heroy House offers expansive outdoor space - a south patio and meditative garden and a roof terrace off the primary bedroom. And, there's the possibility of a building roof terrace and balconies off the middle floors. Rich, original details include floor-to-ceiling parlor windows with period moldings, high ceilings on every level, wide-plank floors, exposed beams, exposed brick, original archways and shutters, and signature lintels on the facade.
