A landmark building in one of New York’s buzziest neighborhoods is up for grabs. Known as the William Dare Morgan residence, the Greenwich Village townhouse was built in 1839 on Washington Square Park. It was originally built as a four-story home with a columned entrance portico for Morgan, who was a governor of the Knickerbocker Club and one of New York Hospital’s founders. He and his wife, Angelic Livingston Hoyt—a descendant of two Declaration of Independence signers—raised four children at the address.
A fifth floor was added by 1880 and 138 years later, in 2018, it was gut-renovated and split up into five floor-through apartments. Now listed for $27.5 million, it is available with or without tenants. Ravi Kantha and Jessica Taylor of Serhant hold the listing.
One of the apartment’s primary bedroom’s features an original a fireplace alongside a soaking tub.
