This unique, one-of-a-kind, West Village building was owned and used by famed artist Roy Lichtenstein to house his personal art (and wine) collection. With 2,648 interior square feet plus 1,292 square feet of landscaped outdoor roof space, this two-story structure has a large garage door, a much coveted permanent "curb cut" and is built full on a 20 x 100 ft lot. Currently classified as a commercial structure, its vast first floor has 14-16 foot ceilings and provides ample room for at least four cars or two trucks. Follow the winding wood and steel staircase up the original elevator shaft to an inviting 2nd floor office that's been beautifully crafted with custom built-in cabinetry, a kitchenette, a half bath, and a wall of glass looking out at the patio and landscaped “green roof”. A truly surprising personal space.
The site offers endless opportunities: a private parking garage and storage near your local residence, an art gallery or a large-scale artist's studio, an event space or exclusive destination boutique, or even a warehouse with a loading dock. There is also the possibility of utilizing the 6,000 + additional FAR to create a larger commercial structure or personal residence. Located in the West Village Historic District, any modifications would require approval by the Landmarks Commission and the NYC Department of Buildings.
This is a rare find, unlike anything else in Greenwich Village.
NOTE: Can also be purchased with neighboring Townhouse at 739 Washington Street.
