About This Home
Built in 1831 by Richard Wright, 198 6th Avenue is a grand 25-foot wide brick townhouse in the heart of Soho and the Sullivan-Thompson Landmark District. This historic home sprawls over 6,700 square feet and is graced with large windows and ceilings that soar 12 feet high. Here you’ll find an array of period details reminiscent of the Merchant’s House Museum on East 4th St including six original marble fireplace mantles, an elegant marble staircase, wide plank floors and much more. A number of notable characters have called 198 6th Avenue home over the years, including its original owner, merchant Mordecai Palache, actor/playwright Sam Shepard, and actor Larry Hagman.
Currently configured with a ground floor office/apartment, a stunning workshop loft, a guest suite off the third floor hall, and three spacious floor-through apartments, 198 6th Avenue could easily be returned to its original single-family use, or adapted for a number of residential and commercial scenarios. The building has been carefully maintained and updated over the years, and can also serve as a high-income producing turn-key investment.
Coming home to 198 6th Avenue, you’ll enter through a 1920’s Art Deco style doorway through to a marble clad hall that leads to a garden apartment currently used as offices. The garden apartment features a new bathroom and galley kitchen, a large cooking hearth evocative of 1830’s New York, and steps leading out to the garden.
The garden level hall extends 100 feet to the back of the lot, where you will find a stunning artist’s workshop loft, which served as the creative haven of artist and owner Irving Marantz for many years. This versatile space is graced with ceilings over 10 feet high, skylights, windows that face into the courtyard, a newly renovated bathroom, and a hall with a second entrance to the garden.
Upstairs the parlor floor apartment features two bedrooms, two baths and ceilings that soar over 12-feet high. The kitchen steps out to the loft’s roof, which could easily accommodate a gorgeous deck.
On the way up to the third floor you’ll pass a guest suite with a full bath off the hall before arriving at a gorgeous floor-through apartment with a designer kitchen and bath, two beautiful fireplace mantles, plus a show-stopping walk-in closet with custom millwork. The living room steps out to a large terrace, which is a wonderfully private oasis from the bustle of the city. On the top floor you’ll find a stylish sun-drenched apartment with an original fireplace mantle, high ceilings, wide plank floors, and a large skylight.
198 6th Avenue sits in the heart of Soho, and is close to all the restaurants, boutiques, venues, and other amenities that have made this great neighborhood famous. Disney’s global headquarters and Google’s NYC headquarters are close by and the C, E, 1, R, W, B, D, F, M, and 6 trains are all within a few blocks for a quick commute to the rest of the city. Come see this rare 25-foot wide Soho townhouse, and make it the backdrop for your next chapter in New York.
