Brown Harris Stevens is proud to announce that one of its premier listings, an extraordinary townhouse at 20 West 12th Street, has been selected as the official site of the 50th Annual Kips Bay Decorator Show House New York. This prestigious event, revered as one of the most celebrated interior design showcases in the country, will open to the public on September 30, drawing design enthusiasts from around the world to the heart of Greenwich Village.
The Kips Bay Decorator Show House is more than just a destination for stunning interiors, it’s a philanthropic tradition. Since 1973, the show house has raised over $30 million in support of the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club, an organization providing critical after-school and enrichment programs for thousands of New York City children. This year’s event is especially meaningful as it marks the golden anniversary of the initiative, and the choice of this magnificent Greenwich Village home is a fitting tribute to its legacy.
Built in 1900, the residence at 20 West 12th Street is a rare, architecturally significant property offering approximately 9,000 square feet of interior space across six gracious levels. The home features eight bedrooms, nine full bathrooms, seven wood-burning fireplaces, multiple private terraces, and an enchanting private garden.
Beyond its impeccable layout and scale, the home exudes historic charm, with original period details, 13-foot ceilings, intricate moldings, and an elegant Otis elevator that serves every floor. It’s no wonder that this home stood out as the perfect canvas for the imaginative transformations that will be brought to life by some of the world’s leading interior designers.
"We’re especially proud to mark our anniversary in the heart of Greenwich Village, at a location that perfectly reflects the grandeur and history of New York," James Druckman, President of the Board of the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club, told Galerie Magazine.
Visitors to this year’s Kips Bay Show House can expect an extraordinary celebration of design innovation, craftsmanship, and creativity, all set within the warm brick façade and expansive interiors of this iconic residence, now listed for $16.5 million with Mike Lubin.
