New York (East Village), NY, 10009 | $5,500,000

Available for the first time in over 20 years, this exceptional East Village two-family townhouse presents a rare opportunity to acquire a vacant, move-in-ready multi-unit property in one of Manhattan's most dynamic neighborhoods. Measuring 22 feet wide by 42 feet deep on a 97-foot lot, the property is located within an R8B zoning district and Opportunity Zone, offering additional upside through 5, 504 square feet of unused development rights and future expansion potential. The existing structure maintains a current certificate of occupancy for two-family residential use and is currently configured as two expansive three-bedroom duplex residences.

Both residences are owner-occupied and will be delivered vacant at closing, creating exceptional flexibility for owner-occupancy, rental income, multi-generational living, or future redevelopment and reconfiguration. Each unit is separately metered with independent systems for heat, hot water, and central air conditioning. Meticulously maintained from the foundation to the roof, the property is in outstanding condition with minimal improvements needed, offering immediate usability while preserving long-term value-add potential.

The upper three-bedroom duplex features both a private terrace and roof deck, while the lower three-bedroom duplex opens onto a deep landscaped rear garden beautifully planted and shaded by mature trees. The house is semi-detached and shares only one wall with the neighboring townhouse. It enjoys abundant natural light, privacy, and flexible living arrangements rarely found in a two-family townhouse.

Located on a quiet, tree-lined stretch of East 6th Street enjoying minimal vehicular traffic, this home offers a peaceful residential setting just moments from Tompkins Square Park, the East Village waterfront, and the soon-to-be completed East River Park. Outside your door, the neighborhood's vibrant cultural fabric unfolds through an eclectic mix of renowned restaurants, cafés, independent boutiques, and art galleries.

Two additional bedrooms are served by a second full bath on this level. This duplex unit is well-maintained and move-in ready.

Unit 2 3 Bedrooms, 2. 5 Bathrooms + Private Terrace & Roof Deck
Accessed through a separate entrance in the townhome's vestibule, a set of stairs brings you up to the second floor and immediately onto a spacious full floor living space, kitchen, and dining area.

On the second level of this upper duplex, the sleeping quarters encompass 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The primary bedroom is massive, complete with an en-suite bathroom and working gas fireplace. The two rear-facing bedrooms are served by a second full bathroom. Topping off this apartment is a huge finished roof deck blasted with light which provides for a second outdoor space for this home.

Whether utilized in its current configuration, enhanced through renovation, expanded to maximize available zoning, or held as a long-term asset in a high-demand location, this is a rare chance to acquire a substantial East Village property with scale, flexibility, and future upside.
