## Property Overview

Once in a very blue moon, a townhouse comes to market that transcends being simply a house; becoming a world-class experience and asset, where design-forward living meets effortless comfort.

Located on a pristine row of West Village townhouses, and acquired privately from Oscar winning actress Ellen Barkin, this townhouse has been reimagined through a multi-year, design-driven renovation by a mold-breaking husband-and-wife design duo. It is a study in bold creativity and refined comfort. Bringing their West Coast sensibility, meticulous craftsmanship, and fearless design vision to every detail— they have delivered a fully turnkey home that feels both extraordinary and livable.

You are greeted by an awe inspiring parlor floor with three separate entertaining spaces that lead out to the terrace and garden beyond. Two wood burning fireplaces with richly crafted marble mantles and an inspired, custom bar stretching 11 ft, anchor the parlor floor, evoking images of the great hotel bars from around the globe.

The true heart of the home brings together kitchen, dining, and media spaces in a seamless flow, spilling out to an outdoor dining and cooking area, perfect for gatherings day or night. The beautiful chef’s kitchen is as functional as it is stylish, featuring a butler’s pantry, dual-zone wine fridge, Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, a Bertazzoni 48” Heritage Series dual-fuel range with griddle, and a custom-built vented range hood that completes the room with sculptural presence.

The primary suite, just one flight up from the parlor, is a stunning retreat that opens to a large private terrace and an envy-causing, walk-in dressing room that showcases a custom dresser centerpiece topped with a dramatic single slab of Breccia Capraia marble, marrying utility with striking artistry.

Upstairs, you’ll find two large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and high ceilings, next to what may be the chicest office in the Village with its own private terrace, creating a unique workspace layered with character and designed to inspire.

Entertain effortlessly across multiple outdoor spaces, including a roof deck with its own bar, three terraces, an outdoor kitchen, and a lush mature garden extending over 40 feet deep—a rare oasis in Manhattan.

A partially excavated cellar includes possibly the most beautiful laundry room you have ever seen, a flexible yet functional game room/wellness room, and an incredible amount of storage to hide all those things that just need to disappear.

The smart home system includes floor-by-floor and “from anywhere” electronic control of HVAC, audio, security and home access.

Every element reflects the philosophy of “bringing hospitality home”—curated interiors, layered textures, and an atmosphere that is both eclectic and timeless. More than just a house — this is an experience.—a design-forward lifestyle with cinematic provenance, immersive comfort, and unparalleled attention to detail.

## Sales Evidence

### How this price compares

The median closed price for comparable house sales in Greenwich Village is $9,460,000, based on 12 sales between October 2021 and August 2026. This home is asking $23,000,000, $13,540,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $7,025,000 and $14,308,750.

- **Median closed price**: $9,460,000
- **Middle half**: $7,025,000 – $14,308,750
- **Based on**: 12 house sales in Greenwich Village
- **Period**: October 2021 – August 2026
- **Median $/ft²**: $1,688/ft²

Across the 8 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 82.2% of what it originally asked. 75% of them closed below the original ask.

A house is not part of a building of comparable apartments, so this benchmark is drawn from house sales across Greenwich Village. Apartment sales are excluded from it entirely.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 82.2% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 75% of 8 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 321 days (about 46 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 60 days (about 9 weeks)

Across the 8 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 82.2% of what it originally asked. 75% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 321 days (about 46 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 12 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 60 days (about 9 weeks), based on the 12 with both dates recorded.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Based on 12 house sales in Greenwich Village, October 2021 – August 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1006080066. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
