The East Village is sometimes hard to recognize today; busy restaurants and nightlife demand more attention than colorful neighbors, landmarked buildings, and tree-shaded community gardens. But the trees and gardens are still here, and this townhouse at 746 East 6th Street, asking $5.5 million, is a fine example of an Alphabet City property on a classic neighborhood block, with plenty of ways to enjoy the Village vibe.
Available for the first time in over 20 years, this well-maintained, owner-occupied two-family townhouse will be delivered vacant and move-in-ready. Measuring 22 feet wide by 42 feet deep on a 97-foot lot, the townhouse is currently set up with two large three-bedroom duplex homes.
You get the flexibility of rental income, family space, or the chance to create one large home. Both units are separately metered with independent systems for heat, hot water, and central air conditioning.
Enter the lower unit of the duplex via the stoop, onto the parlor level. Within, a laid-back and lofty living area with ceilings over 10 feet is served by an open kitchen. This unit has central air conditioning throughout and a washer/dryer.
The colorful kitchen, anchored by a hefty dining island, features countertops of green marble, Scandinavian-inspired cabinetry, a Miele dishwasher and fridge, a Wolf range, and a double wall oven. At the back, a deck leads to a planted garden below, shaded by a mature maple tree.
Downstairs are three windowed bedrooms. The primary suite has access to the garden. Two additional bedrooms share a second full bath.
The upper unit is accessed through a separate entrance. Up a flight of stairs, a large, open living space consisting of a lounge, kitchen, and dining area occupies the lower floor, along with a full bath and laundry facilities. At the rear, glass doors open onto a wide, elegant terrace.
On the second level of the upper duplex are three bedrooms and two baths. A sprawling primary bedroom suite gets a working gas fireplace. Two rear-facing bedrooms share a second bath. This unit also has a second outdoor space in the form of a finished roof deck.
The well-maintained home sits on a leafy, surprisingly quiet East Village block. Tompkins Square Park is nearby, as is the East Village waterfront and East River Park. The property is located within an R8B zoning district and Opportunity Zone, offering 5,504 square feet of unused development rights for a potential future expansion.
