Description

Look no further! The East Village townhouse you have been waiting for is now on the market. Built in 1856, this Anglo-Italianate style townhouse with a beautiful faade and high stoop has a lot to offer the right buyer. Rich in history, this was the home of Dore Ashton, a well-known writer, professor, and art-critic. Dore Ashton was the matriarch of the abstract art movement; seemingly, every major artist got their start at her home. Bring your architect and customize this townhouse to your liking. Located on a tree-lined East Village Street, the townhouse stands five floors plus a basement. Currently configured as two units, there are six bedrooms and three baths. The layout offers multiple possibilities. Enjoy income while living in the upper portion of the house and renting out the garden level apartment. Alternatively, create a single-family dream home. The townhouse features an impressionable parlor floor, high ceilings, and original details such as hardwood floors, moldings, and fireplaces. There are no tall buildings in the vicinity, affording very nice light. Perhaps best of all is the enchanting 60-foot garden, surrounded by other townhouse gardens creating openness and a feeling of serenity. According to PropertyShark, considerable air rights are available. Property Shark shows the maximum usable floor area is 5100 SF, of which 2639 SF is used and 2460 SF is available. In a prime East Village location, next to some of the citys best restaurants, cafes, shopping, parks, and public transportation, this townhouse is an incredible opportunity.
