Property Description for 313 East 6th Street, 1

Rooted in the East Village's rich artistic legacy, this newly completed townhouse restoration-situated in the historic Rothko House, a boutique two-unit condominium-was once home to celebrated artists including Mark Rothko and Alfred Leslie. Notably, Rothko created significant works here, adding a rare layer of artistic provenance to the home. Three full floors have been meticulously reimagined as a refined luxury residence, where historic spirit and contemporary design converge.

Ascending the classic brownstone stoop, the entryway opens onto an entire floor devoted to entertaining. With both north- and south-facing floor-to-ceiling windows, the parlor level features an expansive kitchen with a central island and exceptional storage, including custom cabinetry, pantries, and integrated closets. Truly the heart of the home, it is designed for both daily living and hosting. Custom millwork, brass fixtures, and a premium appliance package, including a wine refrigerator, anchor the space, while generous proportions allow for a seamless flow between areas. Moving through the kitchen, the space opens into a light-filled living room, with views of lush greenery and access to the home's private garden, bordered by mature bamboo plants, perfect for escaping the city, hosting, or dining al fresco.

Adjacent to the kitchen, a south-facing sunken dining area features ceilings nearly 11 feet high and floor-to-ceiling windows, adding architectural depth and drawing natural light deep into the home. This striking design element creates a memorable focal point for gatherings, evoking scenes of dining at a European cafe.

The garden level is dedicated to private living and features two oversized bedroom suites, offering comfort and scale more commonly associated with single-family homes. The north-facing primary suite opens directly to the massive private garden, creating a rare indoor-outdoor experience. At nearly 20 feet wide, the suite spans the full width of the house and functions as a true retreat, complete with oversized windows, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-like en-suite bath with a freestanding soaking tub, walk-in shower, water closet, and refined finishes. The second bedroom suite, located on the south side of the home, also includes a large sleeping area, walk-in closet, and a full en-suite bath. A washer and vented dryer complete the level.

The lower level provides a highly flexible extension of the residence. Currently envisioned as spacious living and sleeping areas perfect for guests, it can be reconfigured for work-from-home needs, fitness, or recreation. The sleeping area opens to a separate private courtyard, thoughtfully landscaped and illuminated for year-round enjoyment. The level includes a full bathroom and additional storage areas.

Throughout the home, the developer's attention to detail is evident in the craftsmanship and finishes, including custom millwork in the kitchen and all bathrooms, three custom closets to be built out, stunning hardwood floors, artisan tiles, and sourced marble. The building has been comprehensively rebuilt and expanded with modern systems throughout, a new rear facade, new roof, and state-of-the-art plumbing and electrical infrastructure. All floor joists have been replaced or re-shimmed to ensure level floors and exceptional quiet throughout the home, while a four-zone heating and cooling system provides comfort and control on every level.

Perfectly positioned on East 6th Street between First and Second Avenues, living at Rothko House places you at the center of the East Village's cultural and creative life. Spend afternoons immersed in modern and contemporary art at Brant Foundation, enjoy walks through Cooper Square and Tompkins Square Park, and dine at the neighborhood's Michelin-starred restaurants, cocktail bars, or long-time New York institutions like Veselka, McSorley's, Russ & Daughters and Katz's Deli. The location offers a rare blend of creative energy, green space, and everyday livability, with multiple options for grocery and transportation conveniently located, delivering a lifestyle that is both vibrant and quietly residential.

Located within the East Village/Lower East Side Historic District, 313 East 6th Street is a red brick and brownstone townhouse built in 1853 with Italianate and Greek Revival elements. Originally a single-family home, as early as 1902, the building was converted to three above-ground apartments and a garden level. A 1948 Certificate of Occupancy shows that a "social club" was located in the basement. In its most recent iteration, the building housed an art studio on the ground floor with three floor-through apartments.

Also available Rothko House's soaring three-floor penthouse residence with private terrace addition.

East Village | Manhattan

Quick Profile

The East Village has two distinct moods. By day, it is quiet and peaceful. Everyone is out and about, either working or relaxing at Tompkins Square Park, strolling or jogging along the East River, or hanging out in one of the subsets of cultural activity, such as St. Mark’s Place. 

But then night falls, and the East Village comes to life, keeping the entertainment and nightlife going long after the other neighborhoods have called it quits for the night. People from all five boroughs flock to the dive bars and speakeasies, head for their favorite cafes and restaurants, or drop in to a music venue to listen to hot tunes or cool jazz and dance the night away. Don’t worry, you don’t have to “know somebody” to gain admittance to even the most popular venues. You won’t find velvet ropes, bouncers, or and a waiting list at the door of most places. Just walk right in and enjoy yourself.

Be prepared for the increased population during fall through spring, when NYU is in session. College students will be everywhere, contributing to the youthful essense of the neighborhood.
