About This Property
44 Jane Street presents a rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a gracious West Village townhouse, pairing historic Greek Revival character with an approved plan for modern, full-scale living. The offering includes Landmarks Preservation Commission–approved improvements and permits to commence the envisioned renovation.
The Residence
Set on a quiet, tree-lined West Village block, this approximately 22.5-foot-wide townhouse retains significant period character, including original doors, moldings, millwork, pocket shutters, and marble mantels. Public listing materials identify the house as an 1846 Greek Revival townhouse; the restoration plan honors that architectural heritage while introducing thoughtfully integrated contemporary amenities.
A broad stoop framed by decorative cast-iron railings leads to mahogany entry doors and a proposed dramatic interior sequence: a restored stair hall opening into formal Greek Revival double parlors. Original carved pilasters, mahogany pocket doors, Portoro marble fireplace mantels, plaster cornices, substantial millwork, and working pocket shutters are intended to define these elegant entertaining spaces.
Proposed Layout
-Parlor floor: Formal double parlors, a powder room, concealed coat storage, and a rear dining room served by a butler’s pantry with wine refrigeration, beverage center, sink, dishwasher, and dumbwaiter access.
-Garden level: A generous kitchen designed for both everyday use and entertaining, a guest bedroom with en-suite bath, an additional powder room, and a separate street entrance. A sculptural, double-height curved stair is planned to connect the parlor and garden levels.
-Second floor: A family room behind pocket doors, two additional bedrooms, a flexible bedroom/study, two baths, linen storage, and a laundry room.
-Primary level: A full-floor primary suite with a quiet rear-facing bedroom, private sun-filled terrace, two large walk-in closets, and a marble bath with windowed shower, water closet, freestanding tub, and double vanity.
-Top floor: A planned solarium-style living space with dramatic north-facing studio windows, a large terrace concealed behind the historic cornice, and folding south-facing doors opening to a second terrace with Lower Manhattan views.
-Basement: Flexible space for a gym, storage, and an oversized laundry room.
West Village Setting
44 Jane Street is moments from celebrated dining, neighborhood conveniences, and multiple transit options, while preserving the residential calm and close-knit character that define the West Village. Its setting within the Greenwich Village Historic District and approved design materials underscore the rare combination of architectural stewardship and future-ready townhouse living.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Sothebys International Realty.
The primary level has a private, sun-filled terrace, and the top floor adds a second one behind the historic cornice, reached through folding south-facing doors. Two outdoor spaces at different levels give the house more than one place to sit outside.
On the June solstice, those south-facing doors get direct sun from about 9:55 AM to 4:01 PM, and about 10 hours on the spring and fall equinoxes. Nearby buildings can block that sun, so it's worth checking the light at the times you'd use the terrace.
The house is set over several levels and has five bedrooms and about 4,600 square feet. The listing describes original doors, moldings, millwork, pocket shutters and marble mantels, with the formal parlors built around them. I like that the family room sits behind pocket doors, since that lets you separate entertaining from everyday life.
As a townhouse, each floor works as its own space, which gives more separation than a flat layout. The stairs are part of daily life here, and the curved stair planned between the parlor and garden levels is one of the house's central features.
The house has a washer and dryer in the unit, which saves a trip out for laundry. A laundry room is also planned on the second floor, with a larger one in the basement.
The 8 Av station is about 4 minutes on foot, 14 St about 6 minutes, and Christopher St-Stonewall about 9 minutes. Corporal John A. Seravalli Playground is about 1 minute away and The High Line about 5 minutes.
