James Gandolfini's former NYC rental listed for $13.75 million

Landmarked Manhattan townhouse, former home of James Gandolfi, gets another price cut after years on and off the market.

A
historic Manhattan townhouse where James Gandolfini once rented a unit has been reduced in price for the third time since 2007. The Greek Revival-style spread at 179 Sullivan St. in Greenwich Village is now asking $13.75 million, down from its $16.49 million ask last year and significantly lower than its original $17.5 million price tag in 2016.

    The property, which can be converted back to a single-family home, boasts spacious living quarters with high ceilings, decorative fireplaces, and large windows. The units offer endless possibilities for open spaces, and the building's exterior has been beautifully maintained.

    Listing broker Beatrice Caponetti of Brown Harris Stevens notes that the building is a masterpiece, with an awe-inspiring entrance and charming details throughout. The property was built in 1835 and once belonged to Gilded Age tycoon Jay Gould.

    The current owner, artist Leah Poller, purchased the building in 2005 for $2.35 million along with the Lupo family office. The seven-bedroom, seven-bathroom townhouse spans 8,049 square feet, including over 2,000 square feet of private outdoor space and a 1,250-square-foot rooftop area.

    The property's original features include an curved staircase, high ceilings, arches, columns, cornices, skylights, and decorative fireplaces. With all units deliverable vacant, the building can be restored to its former single-family residence status.
