Built circa 1846, No. 7 is a rare Greek Revival bow-front townhouse, part of a distinguished row developed under a restrictive covenant to ensure elegance and uniformity along West 16th Street.

Designated a New York City Landmark in 1990, it endures as one of the few surviving examples of the neighborhood’s early residential development west of Union Square.

Distinguished by its width, history, and location, 7 West 16th Street is one of the city's rare townhouse offerings—now attractively priced at $10,500,000.
