Upscaled on West 12th Street

REAL ESTATE • Townhouse

There's always plenty of high-end buyers seeking upgraded, turnkey real estate. More interesting, perhaps, are those profiting from them. To wit: The townhouse at 264 West 12th Street, purchased for $8.45 million in 2018, underwent a four-year renovation that left it with everything a buyer would want (except, regrettably, an elevator). It traded hands last week for $21.95 million. Now that’s an upgrade.
