58 Charles St, New York, NY 10014-2750

Property Description

From the grand estates of Sir Peter Warren and the Earl of Abingdon, this property evolved through the hands of historic West Village merchants, bankers, and masons. Standing on a rare 25ft wide lot with a private carriage house and horse walk, 58 Charles remains one of the area's few surviving treasures and offers a compelling opportunity. Steeped in rich historical lore, this remarkable property presents a truly incomparable canvas for a discerning buyer. Originally constructed in 1841 by master mason John Cole, the property pairs an elegant front townhouse with a magnificent, secluded rear carriage house connected by a private horse walk and courtyard oasis. Conceptual (not approved) plans by Lang Architecture illustrate the magnificent possibilities for transforming this historic property into an ultra-luxurious, compound and custom residential masterpiece. Delivering grand scale, rare versatility, and unmatched prestige, this legendary West Village estate is ready for its next historic chapter. The properties are currently built to approximately 5,800 square feet with additional FAR available. The front house is configured as an owner's unit and 3 market rate apartments. Additional versatility is created by virtue of there being one tax lot with 2 certificates of occupancy (one for each building), and a commercial overlay for the carriage house adding yet more optionality. For the 25ft wide carriage house, significant mechanical and infrastructure updates have already been initiated—including comprehensive work on the foundations, basement, front facade, interior, and roof. Additionally, brand-new water, gas, electricity, and sewage lines have been installed, completing the heavy lifting and leaving a well-prepared canvas for a new owner's final vision. We are excited to bring this extraordinary offering to market, inviting you to shape the next chapter of West Village history. Images include conceptual renderings. The property is sold "as-is," and no representation or guarantee is made that the conceptual designs can be executed or approved. Buyers must rely solely on their own due diligence professionals. Showings require 24 Hours notice.
