This West Village townhome has major upgrade potential

West Village townhomes aren’t known for being roomy, but a rare 25-footer is on the market — and it has the potential to get even bigger. 

Located in the center of the historic neighborhood, the property at 46 Perry St. is currently on the market for million. Comprising a front house and a back house, both with a width of 25 feet each, the potential of merging the two structures into a single entity has been highlighted. This unique opportunity could lead to the creation of a “frankenmansion” by linking the two pre-Civil War buildings through an underground tunnel from the basement, as per Curbed.

“Every megalodon who’s worth $200 million-plus wants a 25-footer,” Douglas Elliman broker Christopher Riccio told Curbed. Riccio called the property “ripe for conversion.” 

Altogether the two townhouses host 11 bedrooms, seven bathrooms and two half-baths. At four windows across, the property boasts an enchanting 1800s style with 2025-level square footage. 

The red-bricked front building has a Greek Revival design, and the homey interiors include original pine floors, pocket doors, woodburning fireplaces, a renovated kitchen and a full basement. Elegant crown moldings and thick ceiling beams add to its charm.

A sunny courtyard connects the front townhome to its fraternal twin in the back, which can be accessed through a rare private entrance. While the back townhome has less architectural zhuzh, it makes up for it with plenty of room. There are two duplex apartments — a four-bedroom and a three-bedroom — the latter of which has access to a roof deck.

If the buyer stitched them together, the resulting crib would span more than 7,000 square feet. 

Andrew Berman, the executive director of Village Preservation, told Curbed that the Perry Street property is “distinguished and somewhat unusual.”

The seller, Rosalind Resnick, discovered the home in 2001 after she made big bucks in the dot-com boom. Resnick’s foray into the early internet as a journalist on the beat led her to found an email-marketing platform that, when sold, earned her $40 million, according to Curbed.

Resnick reportedly never lived on the property, but has rented it out to tenants. Riccio pointed out that these are market-rate tenants, making it easier to end those leases in favor of a stitched-together mega-townhome.
