$4M Flatiron duplex was 19th century starchitect Richard Morris Hunt’s studio

May 3, 2018

This $3.925 million combined sale in an historic Flatiron building is a unique opportunity for more than one reason. The 1870s Italianate townhouse at 28 East 21st Street, now a co-op, served as the studio of architect Richard Morris Hunt, whose designs include the Met as well as the Biltmore estate, The Breakers and other notable Gilded Age properties. It’s also a chance to acquire an 1,850-square-foot duplex with three bedrooms plus a dreamy townhouse backyard complete with flowering dogwood and magnolia trees and a 250-square-foot artists’ studio in the heart of the Flatiron district.

The kitchen and bath look up-to-the-minute stunning with marble everywhere and updated fixtures and appliances. The building has a newly renovated lobby and is approved by both the co-op board and the Landmarks Preservation Commission for exterior stoop and railing reconstruction. With co-op approval, expansion might also be an option as the townhouse does not exceed existing FAR.
