83 Horatio Street is a handsome Greek Revival residence, built in 1852 that graces one of the West Village’s loveliest tree lined streets.
From the well-turned hand rail of the stoop to the restrained cornice crowning its fascia, every detail of 83 Horatio Street speaks to a gracious time-gone-by. Wonderful surprises abound in this living architectural document. In addition to a real “cellar”, four stories, and a garret, the house features a covered “horse-walk” which provides a separate entrance to the garden.
83 Horatio has been home to the unofficial “mayor” of Horatio Street for decades, an artist whose gifts at the easel are reflected in a lush and painterly garden. Her decision to relinquish this jewel box offers some very lucky individual or family the opportunity to enjoy the romance of 19th Century New York: perhaps a family with small children, an artist to treasure the northern light or a composer who will add his voice to the chorus which is Greenwich Village.
