44 Jane Street

Situated on one of the West Village’s most coveted, tree-lined blocks, 44 Jane Street presents a rare opportunity to create an extraordinary single-family residence in the heart of this historic neighborhood.

Measuring an impressive 22.5 feet in width, this gracious Greek Revival townhouse, circa 1846, offers remarkable scale, architectural character, and the opportunity for a comprehensive transformation. Most notably, the property is offered with fully approved architectural plans by Jeffery Povero of Po & Co., architect of record, with approvals secured from both the New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) and Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC). The thoughtfully conceived design honors the home’s historic architectural significance while introducing the scale, sophistication, and modern amenities of an exceptional contemporary residence.

Original details include handsome mahogany doors, intricate moldings and millwork, pocket shutters, carved pilasters, and marble fireplace mantels. A gracious stoop and decorative cast-iron railings provide an elegant introduction to the residence.

The Approved Vision

The proposed design encompasses multiple levels of beautifully proportioned living and entertaining spaces, culminating in a spectacular top-floor retreat with two private terraces.

The parlor floor is envisioned with grand double parlors, soaring ceilings, original architectural detailing, and a formal dining room complemented by a fully equipped butler’s pantry.

The garden level features a generous chef’s kitchen designed for everyday living and entertaining, along with a guest suite and private street entrance. A dramatic, curved double-height staircase connects the garden and parlor floors.

The second floor is dedicated to comfortable family living, with a spacious family room, additional bedrooms, bathrooms, and laundry facilities.

Occupying an entire floor, the primary suite offers a serene retreat with a beautifully appointed marble bathroom, two generous walk-in closets, and a private, sun-filled terrace overlooking the surrounding gardens.

Above, a spectacular solarium-inspired living space features dramatic studio windows and access to two terraces, including a south-facing outdoor space with views toward Lower Manhattan.

The lower level provides additional flexibility for a gym, laundry, and storage.
