This rare and beautifully restored Greek Revival facade with Italianate elements sits perched on an iconic tree-lined street; its 8,049 interior square foot on a 25' x 100' lot (built out to 25' x 92') is currently comprised of five residential floor-through apartments with multiple outdoor spaces, a medical office suite on the garden level and a cellar.

Originally built in 1835, 179 Sullivan Street is vested with rich history and deep roots of community service and philanthropy, once serving as The Helen Gould Neighborhood House, whose namesake (the wife of the famous Titan of Industry Jay Gould) was deeply committed to contributing to the community, and for more than 50 years in recent times, as headquarters for the Washington Square War Veterans. More recently, 179 Sullivan Street has been home to many illustrious personalities from the realms of finance and art, including Steven Conrad, Mischa Barton, and James Gondolfini.
Situated amidst Sullivan Street's tree-lined sidewalks, a blend of old-world charm, modern sophistication, and vibrant culture perfectly embody the essence of New York City, defining the history and community spirit of what Sullivan Street is today.
