Currently the space has been set up with a series of children's bedrooms with a renovated bath in the middle of the space and another interior staircase. An original marble mantle with carved feet remains in the front section, as do floor-to-ceiling French Windows that open up to the balcony which stretches across all the Renwick Row homes.

Greenwich Village has a storied history and no place exemplifies its splendor more than West 10th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues. The New York Times has dubbed this "the most beautiful block in New York City." The crowning glory of this stunning street is a group of ten Anglo-Italianate townhouses all of which were built in 1856 and connected by a continuous cast iron balcony on their respective facades. These prized trophy properties allegedly were designed by Smithsonian Architect James Renwick Jr., from whom they derive the name "Renwick Row. Townhouse living is very flexible in terms of the inherent ability to adapt to the lifestyle of a given owner; and, as would be expected, 36 West 10th Street has had many alterations over the past 157 years. Nonetheless, this substantial 8,500 foot home retains its grand proportions. The current residents occupy the lion's share of the house as 3 separate areas: a contiguous 4-story residence, a multi-floor office and a housekeeper's apartment. There also is a one bedroom rent controlled unit; however, the seller has advised the house can be delivered vacant. Stepping inside the building one immediately feels its history. Many original details remain, as does the bulk of a former elevator shaft. The most outstanding feature is the unique extra wide staircase on which the carved newel posts and original banister are largely intact. This distinctive stairway is waiting to be modeled into your own paradise!
Additional features of this building include: Private backyard garden, Original Wide Staircase & Banister, Original Claw Foot Mantle on Parlor Floor, and Empire State Building Views from Higher Floors.

Greenwich Village
Downtown Central, from Houston Street to 14th Street, from the Bowery to Seventh Avenue.
If you’re new to Greenwich Village, and you’re walking along admiring its townhouses and co-ops, the spot where West Fourth Street crosses West Tenth Street might cause you to scratch your head a little. Even the Village’s most modern luxury condos get a bit of European charm from the meandering, tree-lined streets, leftovers from the 19th century, when Greenwich Village was new development, started up before the city’s grid plan.
