Built by John Jacob Astor in the 1820s, this 21-foot-wide brick townhouse is available for sale for the first time in 65 years. This 5 bedroom, 3 1/2 bathroom home spans approximately 3,950 sqft. (with an additional 1,651 sqft. in unused FAR), has beautiful original moldings and unique pre-war details throughout, a large private backyard and ample history. All of this on one of Manhattan's most charming and historic blocks. The house sits on a lot 21 x 100 and is currently zoned as a 3-family home but could easily be converted to single family, thereby affording a purchaser a variety of options/uses. PARLOR FLOOR: Enter through the original wood doors into the foyer, followed by the original glass doors opening to the gracious parlor floor with ceilings just under 11 ft, stunning original moldings, floor-to-ceiling south facing windows and a fireplace with a gorgeous original, carved mantle. Elegant floor-to-ceiling pocket doors separate the formal dining room from the front parlor. The kitchen is off the dining room and leads to a covered porch with access to the massive garden. There is also a powder room on this floor. SECOND FLOOR: With 10'6 ft ceilings, this floor would be perfect for a primary suite floor, or a primary wing on one side with a smaller bedroom/office on the other side. The floor is currently configured with a primary bedroom and bathroom with a sitting area, and a 2nd bedroom with an office. THIRD FLOOR: This floor has 10ft ceilings and can comfortably fit two large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. The floor is currently configured with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a large, windowed laundry room and an office. There is also access to the roof which is currently unfinished. GARDEN FLOOR: This floor has endless possibilities and could be great for a kitchen with a den/family room or an additional guest bedroom depending on one's needs. This floor was most recently used as a secondary apartment and has a large bathroom and access to the rear garden. And for a true piece of history, there are secret stairs to a cellar left over from Prohibition days. This unique home is situated within the magnificent Charlton-King-Vandam Historic District which is a very special 3-block neighborhood located at the nexus of three of Manhattan's most vibrant and desirable neighborhoods - Soho, Greenwich Village and Hudson Square. A stone's throw from the newly constructed Disney global headquarters and Google NYC headquarters, as well as some of the city's best restaurants and shopping and 1 block from the 1 train.
