Options for this lovely East 7th Street townhouse include demolition

There's a new listing for 253 E. Seventh St., a townhouse between Avenue C and Avenue D.

Let's check out the listing over at Massey Knakal:

The subject property is a 4-story vacant townhouse located on the north side of East 7th Street, between Avenues C & D. There are 4 floor-through units including a garden and parlor floor. The building is in an R8B zone with a residential FAR of 4.0 which would allow for a total buildable square footage of approximately 9,312 SF. The existing building is approximately 3,860 SF with an additional 5,451 SF of available air-rights. Therefore, the buyer could keep the existing structure and add floor area. Alternatively, the buyer could demolish the existing and structure and build a new ground-up development.

Whatever the option, this address will likely get much taller in the future.

Asking price: $4.25 million.

Criminal. If the wrecking ball comes, I can't watch.

Sickening. I can't imagine how anyone would tear down a beautiful house like this. I got a smarmy and predatory Massey Knakal phone call last week, angling for business. Ugh.

It's one of my favorite buildings in the neighborhood, but...if I had that kind of money, hmmmm...not.

Where is the LANDMARKING in the East Village. OR is that just for the richest district in the country West Village? District Preservation NOW
