The Federal-style townhouse at 7 Bleecker St., which dates to the early 1800s, is listed for $6.5 million. The couple lived and worked here near the Bowery for more than four decades. Frank died in 2019; Leaf in 2024.
The property, located in the NoHo East Historic District, has largely remained as they left it — with a raw, studio-like interior shaped by years of creative use.
The current Corcoran listing, however, makes no mention of its former occupants and instead positions the home as a redevelopment opportunity.
Bring your architect and imagination to re-envision this historic property as a bespoke masterpiece. Offering significant untapped potential, 7 Bleecker Street has an additional 3,724 square feet of buildable FAR available (subject to Landmarks approval), providing even more flexibility to bring your vision to reality.Whether transformed into a grand, single-family home or reimagined as a mixed-use property, to maximize the 25-foot frontage on Bleecker Street, with flagship retail or gallery space and residential units above, the possibilities are truly endless.
Hopefully, the next owner appreciates the history within those walls.
