Property Description
Set within the storied Renwick Triangle, 35 Stuyvesant Street is an architecturally significant townhouse offering exceptional width and historical presence in the East Village. Built in 1861 by James Renwick, Jr., the home measures an impressive 32 feet wide and spans five stories plus an English basement and cellar. Four south-facing window bays extend across the rusticated stone and brick façade, and in the warmer months, a blooming wisteria vine cascades down the building.
Stuyvesant Street, a short, one-way road that connects Astor Place to 10th Street, is among the oldest parts of the city. While it sits at a diagonal to the city's grid, it is in fact the only street in Manhattan that runs true west to east.
Enter number 35 through either the English basement or parlor level. Myriad details convey the house's historic significance: five fireplaces and their marble mantles; intricate tin ceilings; exposed brick; decorative wood paneling. Above, an unfinished roof presents the opportunity to create a bright and impressive private outdoor space with striking views of the neighborhood.
35 Stuyvesant Street has long been a destination in and of itself. In 1958, the home was purchased by Lee B. Anderson, who became the pioneer of the Gothic Revival style in America. 35 Stuyvesant Street was part home, part salon, and part exhibition, with some of the most revered characters of the 20th century culturati -- Andy Warhol, Halston, Cher, Lee Radziwill, to name a few -- stopping by to peruse Anderson's collection of furniture, paintings, and curiosities.
The Renwick Triangle is attributed to James Renwick Jr., one of New York's most influential 19th-century architects, whose body of work includes St. Patrick's Cathedral, Grace Church, and the original Smithsonian Institution Building in Washington, D.C. Stuyvesant Street is named for Peter Stuyvesant, Director General of the West Indian Trading Company. Set in the St. Marks' Historic District, the block dates back to 1651. The street used to be a much longer private road leading to the Stuyvesant mansion, the epicenter of the Stuyvesant estate and farm, which included the entirety of what is now the East Village.
