In the heart of Soho's Sullivan-Thompson Historic District, 203 Prince Street stands as a rare gem—a meticulously restored 1834 townhouse that seamlessly blends historical charm and whimsical interiors with modern sophistication.
Featured in Architectural Digest and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this 24.5-foot-wide townhouse is one of only three surviving merchant houses built in the transitional Federal/Greek Revival style. Constructed on land once part of former Vice President Aaron Burr's estate, the home boasts a brick façade, six wood-burning fireplaces, and original sash windows that flood the interiors with natural light.
Upon ascending the high stoop, you're welcomed into a grand double parlor featuring 14-foot ceilings, ornate plaster moldings, and matching onyx fireplaces. The Tuscan-inspired eat-in kitchen opens to a lush "secret garden," perfect for al fresco dining. The upper floors house four spacious bedrooms, each with its own fireplace, and two studies that can easily convert into additional bedrooms.
The English basement, accessible from both the parlor level and beneath the front stoop, offers a flexible open-plan space suitable for additional bedrooms, a private office, or a guest apartment. The finished cellar includes a home gym, a large laundry room, and ample storage. Modern amenities such as multi-zoned central air conditioning and custom-milled bookshelves ensure comfort without compromising the home's historic integrity.
Located in one of Manhattan's most vibrant neighborhoods, 203 Prince Street is surrounded by renowned restaurants, art galleries, boutiques, and historic architecture.
