57 W 9th St, Manhattan, NY 10011

Be West of Fifth <br><br>In my 40 plus years of selling Manhattan townhouses, owning a house West of Fifth Avenue has been a mantra of the Village's social legends. The Greek Revival builders of the 1840's catered to this crowd and the luminaries of today are likewise drawn to these few blocks. 57 West 9th Street, mid-block between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, is such a house.
