Historic Townhouse in New York for Sale

NEW YORK, March 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- New York Residence is delighted to present a unique West Village townhouse for sale.

The landmarked property, located at 8 Perry Street, is one of the few remaining Federal Townhouses in New York. 

Built in 1849, the rare property was originally built for two lumber merchants and later become the home of Reverend Charles Whipple.

The price of just $8.4 million reflects that the property is in estate condition. It is delivered completely vacant which is unusal. "This building presents a wide range of options," says Thomas Guss, one of New York's leading real estate brokers who has the listing.

"A buyer could convert the property to a single family townhouse or could split it into up to 4 individual apartments," says Guss.  The property could become an outstanding single family home, a boutique condominium or a high-end rental building in one of the most sought-after and supply-constrained areas of Manhattan. 

Based on recent sales of comparable property, a detailed renovation of the property could easily double or triple its value. One of the rare features of the building is the unusually deep private garden which could accommodate a swimming pool. Sensible upgrades could include the addition of an elevator.

8 Perry Street is a rare opportunity to acquire a part of New York's history. Just steps from Manhattan's best restaurants, boutiques, cafes and bars, it is also close to everything New York has to offer today.

Detailed pictures and a floor plan of 8 Perry Street can be obtained by emailing Mr. Guss at [email protected] or by calling his team at 212.360.7000, extension 123 (Andreea Miller).
