Washington Square Park in NYC has long been known as a hub for cultural celebration and gathering, often being the site of street performers, chess games, and farmers markets. But, while many visit, it is very rare to live right on the park’s edge. This address asking $27.5 million is one of the last privately-owned townhouses in such a position and it just hit the market with Netflix Owning Manhattan stars Ryan Serhant and Jessica Taylor, as well as Ravi Kantha, all of SERHANT.
The Landmark Preserved townhouse was built in 1839, and it has had a unique history that predates its most recent chapter: A stellar, contemporary renovation. The first two owners of the William Dare Morgan residence was William Dare Morgan himself and his wife, Angelica Livingston Hoyt, who was a descendant of two signers of the Declaration of Independence and part of one of the state’s elite families. Other past owners include silent movie executive Richard West Saunders and renowned painter Everett Shinn.
Now looking at the actual home—sat on ‘the Row’—which is a stunning 8,750-square-foot, five-story structure. Currently configured as five one-floor units, the home can be delivered vacant or with tenants. Each of the units is leased out, an easy way for a new buyer to help cover the immense price of the townhome. Overall, there are a total of 10 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms, which could also be attractive for someone interested in converting it into an epic Greenwich Village single-family home.
Though not everyone can afford such a sumptuous home and NYC location, that doesn’t mean you won’t see more of it. If Owning Manhattan is filming for a second season, perhaps we’ll watch this property’s storyline play out.
