19th-century West Village townhouse comes with an owner’s triplex and five rental units for $12M

Described as “a delightful and interesting street in which to live” by the Landmarks Preservation Commission, Perry Street is a sought after stretch of the West Village and home to several noteworthy structures. Sited within the Greenwich Village Historic District and now on the market for the first time in 50 years, the townhouse at 73 Perry Street is almost directly across the street from two of the most recognizable facades on the block: 64 and 66 Perry Street, famous for being Carrie Bradshaw’s home on Sex and the City. It’s seeking $11.995 million.

Dating back to 1868, the French Second Empire-style property was designed by architect William Naugle along with its next-door neighbor at 71 Perry Street. At some point, 73 Perry was “converted for a basement entrance” and at the same time, it received a distinctive triple bay window “built in the English half-timbered medieval style,” according to the LPC report.

The eight-bedroom, eight-and-a-half bathroom home spans over 4,425 square feet and is currently configured as an owner’s triplex on the lower floors with five rental units on the upper floors. It could be converted back into a single-family home, the listing notes. The house retains many historical architectural details including eight fireplaces with restored mantels, wooden moldings, exposed brick and beams, and character-rich hardwood floors.

The owner’s triplex includes recreation and laundry rooms in the basement and a 48-foot deep garden that adds up to 900 square feet of exterior space.
