An 1856 townhouse designed by the architect of St. Patrick’s Cathedral is coming on the market for $28 million
A Greenwich Village townhouse designed by James Renwick Jr., the architect of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, is coming on the market for $28 million.
Built in 1856, the roughly 9,000-square-foot Anglo-Italianate house has six stories, 13½-foot ceilings, original fireplace mantels and a rooftop terrace, according to marketing materials. There are six wood-burning fireplaces, seven bedrooms, a chef’s kitchen and two kitchenettes. The sellers are Jay Newman, a former senior portfolio manager at Elliott Management, and his wife Elissa Kramer, a retired radiologist. Mr. Newman bought the townhouse in 1999 for $3 million, according to public records.
The couple spent two years extensively renovating the home after a prior owner subdivided the property into six floor-through apartments. “We set about restoring everything to pretty much what it would have looked like in the 1850s,” said Mr. Newman. In addition to relining the fireplaces, they repaired ceiling medallions and crown moldings and had mahogany doors and windows constructed that resemble the original design.
Mr. Newman said they also repaired the home’s crumbling facade, with brownstone in front and brick in back. “This was the worst-looking house on the block when we bought it,” he said, estimating they spent “multiples” of the purchase price on the two-year renovation. “It was extensive and it was expensive,” he added.
