Fittingly sited on Stuyvesant Street in between East 9th and 10th streets, the townhouse is still quite elegant and well kept considering it’s weathered more than two centuries. Beyond the stately, red-brick façade, the spacious interiors span approximately 5,500 square feet. In contrast to many prewar NYC properties, the rooms here are well proportioned, since the home is a solid 24 feet wide.
The classic décor inside, meanwhile, complements the charming original features; it feels old fashioned but not drab. There are whopping eight fireplaces throughout, along with gorgeous wood flooring, classic moldings and a couple of deep clawfoot tubs. What’s more, you’re a stone’s throw from the St. Mark’s Church and other historic buildings from the era—not to mention a short walk from the all the hot spots and eateries in the East Village.According to listing agent Monica Rittersporn of the Corcoran Group, this is the first time the 227-year-old property has been offered to the public. It was traded within the family in 2014, but there are no records detailing the amount paid.
“I have been selling homes for over 30 years and this house is my absolute favorite,” Rittersporn toldvia email. “Behind the simple Federal exterior are rooms with grand proportions, glorious light and amazing views.”
