'Potential townhouse conversion' a possibility at residential building now for sale at 58 E. 7th St.



58 E. Seventh St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue recently hit the market. The listing at Eastern Consolidated mentions that this is a "potential townhouse conversion."

More details:

The Property is a five-story-over-full-basement, circa 1900, walk up apartment building containing ±6,792 square feet of above-grade building area divided into (5) five apartments. Each apartment contains approximately 1,300 square feet and has 3 bedrooms, a spacious eat-in kitchen area, a living room and one bathroom.

There's certainly precedent for townhouse conversion on this very block... just a few numbers to the east at No. 64.



64 E. Seventh St. was sold as a single-family townhouse several years ago... and gut rehabbed into a luxury, 13-room mansion. It seems likely that history will repeat itself on the block. (Read this post at Jeremiah's Vanishing New York for more on the fascinating past of No. 64.)
