Back in 1829, the stretch of two-story buildings along the northern half of Washington Mews was built to house horses and carriages for the posh residents of Washington Square North. Come 1916, when horses were out and cars were in, the stables were transformed into studios for artists, perhaps most notably Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney who lived at 58-60 Washington Mews.
Some hundred years later, the Mews is still just as charming as ever. And while NYU does own most of the buildings now, there are still a few privately owned homes peppered along the short cobblestone street.
Ever dream of living on Greenwich Village's most historic, gated private street? Lucky for you one of the homes has just come on the market. The carriage house at 64 Washington Mews features 3 bedrooms, 2 and a half bathrooms, gorgeous fireplaces, a balcony, and perhaps most impressive by New York standards, a deeded parking spot steps outside the front door!
Of course, such storied luxury will cost you. Got an extra $10.475 million burning a hole in your pocket?
Well, it doesn't cost money to window shop! Click through for an inside look at the unique abode.
