Less than a year after changing hands, the historic townhouse at 9 Bleecker St., just west of the Bowery, is back on the market.
According to listing information, the three-story building is now asking $6.5 million after selling last summer for $5.7 million.
Per the listing, which went live on July 23:
With 2,743 square feet of unused FAR (subject to Landmarks approval), the property offers substantial expansion potential. Create a spectacular single-family residence or maximize its mixed-use zoning with flagship retail or gallery space at street level and residential or office space above.
As we've reported, an undisclosed buyer purchased the 1884 building last summer. Earlier this year, signage appeared on the facade, which became a near-constant canvas for flyers and ads, stating: "I have an owner who loves me very much!" and "I'm a HISTORICAL building, NOT your CANVAS!"
The address has a storied history. Best known as the longtime home of the Yippies, the building served as the movement's headquarters for more than four decades before its departure in 2014 following a lengthy legal battle.
More recently, it was home to Overthrow Boxing Club, which closed in late 2024 as the building was being marketed for sale.
Past lives also include stints as a cigar factory and publishing house before becoming associated with New York's activist and countercultural movements.
Mansion Global was first to report on the return to market for No. 9.
The townhouse next door at No. 7 recently sold for $6.2 million after four months on the market. (The transaction hasn't hit public records yet.) No. 7 was the longtime home of photographer Robert Frank and artist June Leaf.
