New York (West Village), NY, 10014 | $5,995,000

Originally constructed in 1860 as a single 25-foot Federal-style residence, 449 and 449 ½ Hudson are rare opportunity to create a right-sized grand West Village residence. Currently a mirrored pair of twin single-family homes, the original structure was divided in the 1980s into two addresses with a 4” CMU firewall between them which, upon probing, appears non-structural and largely superficial. 449 and 449 1/2 Hudson are being offered exclusively as a pair for total asking price of $11, 995, 000. Property tax for 449 Hudson is $2, 128/month and 449 1/2 is $2, 102/month (total for the house is $4, 230/month). Underlying geometry—aligned floorplates, four-windows at both East and West elevations, plus twin clerestory windows running North-South along the building roof—support a valuable return to full-width living and exceptional natural light from morning to night. Reunification restores the building to its intended scale and unlocks a program aligned with modern expectations: • Centralized vertical circulation, including elevator potential • Seamless connection from parlor to garden • Top Floor Level Master Suite with rooftop access • Full-width entertaining floors At this width, the building departs from the constraints of a typical narrow townhouse—enabling longer sightlines, improved daylight penetration, and materially more flexible floorplate planning. ARCHITECTURE + COMBINATION The original composition remains through continuous brick coursing across the facade, a unified cornice at the roofline, and precisely aligned floor levels. Working food-burning fireplaces and mirrored layouts further reinforce the building’s inherent symmetry. The path to integration is unusually clean: • Demising wall appears non-load-bearing • Removal expected to allow 25-foot column-free spans • Aligned layouts support efficient unification • A nearly perfect surface-to-volume ratio supports green building objectives EXPANSION POTENTIAL Zoning supports meaningful enlargement: • Current interior square footage: 4, 432, with 3, 324 SF above grade. Plus 160 SF sunrooms off the parlor leading to a private backyard space. • Allowable (FAR 3. 44): ~5, 779 SF (Unused rights: ~2, 455 SF) LANDMARKS PRECEDENTS Nearby LPC approvals within the immediate context support rooftop and rear interventions, providing a credible path for expansion. Listing team is prepared to engage directly with purchaser’s architect and engineer to advance technical diligence, including CCD1/SRD1 filing.
