104 East 10th Street

Once home to noted poet and playwright Edgar Oliver, who detailed his experiences living in the home in a well-received play by the same name, 104 East 10th Street is a uniquely positioned townhouse in the St. Mark’s Historic District of Manhattan’s vibrant East Village neighborhood. Dating back to 1879, this property features a timeless Neo-Grec design, which is primed for modern upgrades within. In its current form, this property offers a unique opportunity for a discerning buyer to create the townhouse of their dreams, while forgoing the trials and tribulations typically associated with undertaking a major renovation in a historical district of New York City. Save months of technical legwork and become the beneficiary of multiple obtained approvals, including LPC, Building, Zoning, Mechanical, and Plumbing, as well as a current Certificate of Non-Harassment. Reap the rewards of nearly one year of tactful negotiations and clever design schemes as you’ll enjoy unheard of options in a historical district, including full legal approval for a one-story vertical enlargement to an existing landmarked three-story building and a unique rooftop penthouse with an angular glass wall. Opportunities for outdoor recreation space and modern design appurtenances on landmarked properties are often the subject of urban legend, so act fast before one of Manhattan’s most unique offerings is no longer available. While Dixon Projects has envisioned four bedrooms, four bathrooms, two powder rooms, over 3,800SF, and a variety of special features, the buyer ultimately retains the optionality to tailor the property to their own distinct vision, all while leveraging the existing approvals listed above.
