Dream Homes: 250 West 10th Street

West Village

$11.4 million

Talk about putting in the time. The owner of this West 10th Street townhouse is a designer who spent 10 years seeking the right property, then another two “meticulously restoring” the 1827 residence to the glory that earned it historical landmark recognition. The “beautiful” proportions of the four-story, 25-foot-wide structure remain, but the home has been upgraded for modern living. For example, the English basement was dug out to create an eat-in kitchen, with the original limestone cooking fireplace as the focal point. There are three bedrooms, five bathrooms and six fireplaces. Agents: Susanne Columbia and Todd Vitolo, The Corcoran Group, 212-941-2610 and 212-941-2583
