Overview of 39 West 16th Street

39 West 16th Street is a five story pre war townhouse with a particularly distinctive layout: a rare duplex extends across two levels and opens to a private garden. The building dates to 1920 and is located on a tree lined block between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.

The 20 rental apartments range from studios to duplexes. Extra high ceilings and ornate decorative fireplaces recur throughout the building, while many apartments have updated kitchens with stainless steel appliances. Hardwood floors, generous closet space, and renovated bathrooms also appear across the residences.

Union Square is about a block away, with Madison Square Park a few blocks to the north and Chelsea immediately to the west. The location places the townhouse among the restaurants, shops, and public spaces around Union Square while retaining the quieter character of West 16th Street.
