A home on one of the only private streets in Manhattan has just hit the market.
On the far west side of Manhattan, on a block that defies the street grid and most New York City real estate, several stately houses sit behind gates that show an address of 687 Greenwich St.
This is Greenwich Mews, and one of its seven dwellings is now on the market for $6.49 million, according to StreetEasy. It’s a rare offering, as the listings portal additionally shows only three home on the block have traded hands since 2015.
As well, a prospective owner gets access to the street’s shared amenities, namely a 1,500-plus-square-foot courtyard, a dedicated property manager and perhaps the most coveted resource in New York City, a convenience most dare not even dream of: a private indoor parking space.
“This is one of the most enchanting neighborhoods in all of NYC and feels that one has stepped back in time in London or Paris,” Brown Harris Stevens broker Sophie P. Ravet, who holds the rare listing, told The Post. “The safety of the gated community, the convenience of the private onsite parking, and the overall friendly vibe of the Mews makes this listing a truly unique opportunity.”
Although unique, the gated stretch is far from alone in being a “secret” street in the city.
Washington Heights’ Sylvan Terrace and other tucked-away blocks including Pomander Walk, Sniffen Court and Love Lane Mews also offer exclusive, rarely available real estate in corners of Manhattan, which feel more from a story book than placed in New York, as The Post has previously reported.
