21 West 11th Street, also known as The Scatturo House, is a historic Greek Revival Federal Style townhouse built circa 1850 in Greenwich Village's Gold Coast district. The five-story, 20-foot-wide residence sits on a 103-foot-deep lot, with 55 feet of built depth, positioned just off Fifth Avenue near the Presbyterian Church.
The townhouse features a traditional layout with modern updates, including a formal parlor floor with original marble fireplace, a chef's kitchen with radiant heated floors, and a dramatic two-story glass-and-iron atrium leading to a 50-foot deep landscaped garden. The upper floors house a primary suite with private terrace, multiple bedrooms, and a flexible top-floor guest suite.
The home has been thoughtfully renovated to preserve its 19th-century architectural elements while incorporating contemporary amenities such as central air conditioning, high-speed internet, and updated bathrooms. Notable features include the original mahogany balustrade staircase, multiple fireplaces with antique marble surrounds, and a south-facing façade with traditional planters and wrought iron details.
The property holds significant cultural history, having hosted numerous luminaries of the arts and letters. Over the decades, the house welcomed an artistic circle that included W.H. Auden, Philip Roth, Stanley Kunitz, Jules Feiffer, and Mark Rothko, contributing to its legacy as a gathering place for notable poets, politicians, artists, and writers in the heart of Greenwich Village.
According to public records, the New School has offloaded a Greenwich Village townhouse it kept as the president's residence. It entered contract with a $9.95 million asking price earlier this spring, and ultimately sold for $10.3 million. When it was first listed in early 2024, it was asking $20 million.
