Property Description for 3 East 9th Street

Rare 25-foot wide townhouse in prime Greenwich Village. Investor or opportunity for a single family residence.

Introducing 3 East 9th Street, a magnificent 5-story, 25-foot-wide Greek Revival townhouse perfectly positioned in the prestigious Gold Coast of historic Greenwich Village. This offering presents a remarkable opportunity for an investor or for conversion into a grand single-family residence. One of only two buildings on the block to retain its original Greek Revival stoop, this historic property stands as a proud testament to 19th-century architecture. Built in 1840 on a 25 x 105-foot lot, the home spans approximately 8,245 square feet of interior living space, complemented by 1,225 square feet of private outdoor space.

Currently configured as nine luxury rental units, the townhouse has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated over the years, all while preserving its rich architectural details. Throughout the property, one will find exquisite herringbone parquet hardwood floors, intricate architectural moldings, a stunning marble mosaic vestibule, and original doors and hardware that harken back to a bygone era. Soaring ceiling heights, reaching up to 13 feet, enhance the home's sense of grandeur and light. Renovations have seamlessly blended old-world charm with modern conveniences, including top-of-the-line appliances by Sub-Zero, Bosch, and Miele. Many of the residences are outfitted with in-unit washer/dryers, state-of-the-art split air conditioning systems, wood-burning fireplaces, and private outdoor spaces. The property also includes a spacious 1,250-square-foot basement offering abundant storage and laundry facilities, bringing the total usable space to nearly 9,500 square feet.

The garden level features two one-bedroom apartments, each with a private entrance beneath the stoop, wood-burning fireplaces, and renovated kitchens and bathrooms. The rear unit enjoys exclusive access to a 400-square-foot terrace and a 250-square-foot side yard, with ceiling heights at 8'3". The Parlor Floor offers two grand one-bedroom apartments with soaring 13-foot ceilings, sleeping lofts, oversized windows, and beautifully renovated kitchens and bathrooms. The front unit boasts two wood-burning fireplaces, and both units feature in-unit washer/dryers.

On the second floor, a gracious two-bedroom apartment occupies the front of the building, while an oversized one-bedroom apartment is situated at the rear. Both units are enhanced by high ceilings, oversized windows, renovated kitchens and bathrooms, and the front apartment includes two wood-burning fireplaces and an in-unit washer/dryer, with ceiling heights of 11'6". The third floor presents a full-floor two-bedroom residence with soaring 10'6" ceilings, oversized windows, two wood-burning fireplaces, a renovated kitchen and bathroom, an in-unit washer/dryer, and a private 575-square-foot rooftop terrace directly off the living room. The fourth floor is comprised of two expansive studio apartments, each offering high ceilings and abundant natural light.

The building's exterior has been lovingly preserved, and all mechanical systems have been upgraded or replaced as needed. Heat is delivered via a central hot water system, and each unit is equipped with its own through-the-wall air conditioning unit. Located within an R7-2 and R10 residential zoning district on a 2,635-square-foot lot, the property benefits from approximately 819 square feet of unused FAR, offering additional development potential. Rental income and operating expenses are available upon request. Monthly taxes for the building are $7,911.80 per month.

Greenwich Village | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Birthplace of beatniks, Greenwich Village has always been a neighborhood bursting with creativity, home to artists, poets, musicians and writers. There is a lot of foot traffic in the neighborhood, as it gives convenient access to many other neighborhoods. There are a lot of popular eateries on MacDougal Street and bars on Bleecker Street. The neighborhood has a bit of a college-town feel, due to the presence of NYU. There aren’t large chain stores here, so it isn’t really a mecca for shopaholics, but you can find interesting vintage stores and specialty boutiques.

Available housing is centered on pre-war walk-ups. You can find good deals on the quieter, tree-lined side streets, as opposed to the bustling avenues. There are pockets of brownstones and townhouses, some dating back to the early 19th century, throughout the neighborhood, as well. You will find more luxurious housing in the newer high-rise buildings on Park and Fifth Avenues.

Washington Square Park is the heart of the neighborhood. If you sit near the Arch and close your eyes, you might catch an echo of the music and social history of the Park, floating through the air. Greats like Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and Paul Simon started their storied careers right here in Greenwich Village. Today, the Village is a celebration of diversity, where everyone is welcome.
