The Low-Rise Brick TownHows that give the west village it is Character aren’t as charming on the inside, at least not to people who can affford say. They tiy to feed dinner, thanks to those old, historic Windows, and they max at About 18 or 20 Feet wide – More railroad than retreat. Then, there’s 46 Perry Street, an 1845 Red-Brick Greek Revival that was built at more of a 2025 scale. IT’S 25 FEET WIDE AND FOUR WINDOWS ACOSS. THERE’S THE BONUS HOUSE-IN THE REAR YARDS A Second 25-Foot-Wide Townhase That’s ALSO AROUND 3,500 SQUARE FEET, A KIND OF HIDDEN FRAMER TWIN REACHED BY A Private Entry from the Sidewalk.

To Broker Christopher Riccio, Who Specializes in Village Townhouses and LISTED THIS ONE FOR $ 19 MILLION46 Perry Hits “The Trifecta,” As he calls it. First: “Every Megalodon Who’s Worth $ 200 Million-Plus Wants A 25-Footer,” Riccio Says. Second, A Buyer Could link the two houses through a bassent and create a clandestine frankenmans, squeezing a monster-soze ino a historic distribution. Finally: there’s The Location, a premiums Block, Tree-Linked, Quain, and Once Home to James Agee (38 Perry) and the former Perry Street theater (31 Perry). In Other Words, Says Riccio, “The Demand Is Gargano.”

The Seller, Rosalind Resnick, Knew what she’d found crer she discovered the place more than 20 years ago. “I walked in and was like, ‘Oh my God.’” Resnick Bought in 2001 As a Freshly minted dot-com millionaire. She has had Long lasted after Manhattan’s Most Romantic Townhouses, But Never Had the Means in Her Former Life As A Journalist (First for Trade Publications, then at the Miami Herald). When she starts freelancing in 1989, she finds herself on a niche Beat – The Early Internet. In 1995, she founded a company like the ones she has been covering, an email-marketing platform Called netcreations. IT Went Public in 1999, SOLD to a European Company in 2001, and Earned Her $ 40 Million. THEN CAME The Townhouses. “I Have this Huge Passion,” Sheys of Eventual Collection of Eight, From A Pint-Size half-house at 35 West 12th to another Double House at 7 Leroy Street.

But Perry Street Remained Her Trophy. The Front House has Original Wide-Pine Pine Floors, Old Fireplaces, Pocket Doors, and Crown Moldings on the Parlor Level. On the Garden Level, Thick Beams Run from the Sitting Room to the Kitchen, where she did a full renovation and upgraded appliances. The back house, whose brick façade has been covered, is less romantic. IT HAS FIREPLACES AND WIDE, OLD FLOORBARDS, But Rooms SEEM to have ornamental Molding. (It ‘s now two luxurious duplexes, with a four-bedroom on the bottom and a wider, Airier three-bedroom on top that with private access to a roof-deck.) Who Called the Address “Distinguished and Somewhat Unusual”-if not a total one-off. (131 Charles is Also 25 Feet Wide and Contains a Pair of Similar Homes.)

The Buildings at 46 Perry Are the Work of A Mason Who Built Around the NeighBorhood and May Have Built the Rear House to work be Became a Home itelf. (The Building Went Residential After the Civil War, Acciting to Historian Tom Miller’s revolution of Census and NewsPaper Records.) Tenants over the Decades Included Poet Kenneth PatchenThe Cult-Magazine Editor L. Scott Baileyand a pair of Married Actors who wrote and produced a 1949 Television Show About Their Squabbles Upstairs.

The Next Owner is probably less enticed by the idea of ​​Being a Landlord, Says Riccio, and more interested in the fact that the tendants are markets. (No Rent-Stabilized Leases to Contest with.) “The fact you have two 25-footers rip for conversion?” He Sayys. “Its Very Rare.”
