48 Jane St, Townhouse West Village, New York

Refined Single-Family Townhouse in the West Village.

Built in 1846, this 22.5-foot-wide townhouse has been thoughtfully renovated by the architectural firm Fairfax & Sammons, blending historic character with a clean, modern sensibility in an open and inviting manner.

Number 48 sits within a continuous row of Greek Revival houses, all constructed within a year, giving the tree-lined block a consistent and intimate scale. Inside, the house offers well-proportioned, high-ceilinged, light-filled rooms and a strong sense of craftsmanship, with custom woodwork, walnut floors, doors, and detailing throughout.

A welcoming entry hall leads toward the garden, drawing natural light through the home. The open parlor level is designed for comfortable living and entertaining, with a living room overlooking Jane Street, classic period moldings, and a wood-burning fireplace with a Carrara marble mantel. The dining room continues this understated elegance, while the kitchen introduces a more contemporary edge with Pietra Cardoza countertops, steel casement windows, and three skylights. A pantry, powder room and 2 closets complete this floor.

The garden level opens directly to a private, south-facing landscaped garden through glass doors. This floor features a family room with a gas fireplace, walnut floors, a wealth of storage, custom zebra wood cabinetry, an office area, and a 2nd powder room. At the front of the house, a separate bedroom suite with a full bath, dressing room and private street entrance provides flexible options for guests or staff.

A full cellar houses the mechanicals and additional storage. The home is equipped with five-zone central air conditioning and water filtration.

On the third floor there are two large bedrooms with fireplaces, a cozy smaller bedroom, a full bath with Jacuzzi and a laundry room.

The top floor is dedicated to the primary suite, featuring rich walnut floors, moldings and doors throughout. Both bed and bath have vaulted ceilings, with a wood-burning fireplace in the large bedroom and treetop views. A custom Maplewood dressing room connects to the large, airy bath with a clawfoot tub and skylit steam room shower. A separate study on this floor offers built-ins in a light filled room. Lastly, a central skylight above the stair brings natural light throughout the upper levels.

Located on Jane Street within the Greenwich Village Historic District, the home combines historic charm and privacy with the desirability and convenience of a prime West Village location, just moments from the Jane Street Community Garden, Hudson River Park, the High Line, the Whitney Museum, and the neighborhood’s acclaimed shops and restaurants.
