Over on that fine stretch of East 10th Street between Second Avenue and Third Avenue, a parlor apartment at No. 102 is now on the market as a rental.
Here's the listing via Core:
Originally constructed in 1836 by Peter Stuyvesant, this delightful 1,250-square-foot, 2-bedroom parlor and English basement duplex is bright, serene and well-cared for.

Peter Stuyvesant died in 1672. Located in the "central village"-that's a new one
That rug is fucking hideous.
That's great that it's in its original state. That makes it so much more affordable.
Maybe they meant built by Stuyvesant Place, not by Peter.
Who'd want to deal with a broker so stupid as to say the place was built by Peter Stuyvesant in 1836? I know brokers are a lower life-form, but this is quite a howler even by those standards.
Also: "original" but "decorative" fireplaces - really?!
I picture a carnival barker: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, bring your whole bank account over here and rent this o-rigi-nal home built by Peter Stuyvesant himself with his bare hands in 1836!"
While it is true that the Peter Stuyvesant (who would have gone by Petrus actually) died well before the construction of this building, it is possible that a Peter Stuyvesant built it. Petrus had generations of descendants and a number of them did carry the name Peter. Indeed the 1836 Longworth’s New-York Directory (p. 638) reveals two Peter Stuyvesants, though neither with an address on 10th Street.
P.S. 30 Peter Stuyvesants would probably agree that the rug is ugly.
Sadly enough, three roommates could split the rent here for $2500 each a month; that's considered "reasonable" nowadays.
Or maybe it could be a frathouse; ten NYU students could live here for $750 a month each. And the vomit stains might improve the rug.
I had a friend who always contended that all you need to be a realtor is a face (for the photo in the business card and website).
