Orijinalman bati nan 1860 kòm yon sèl rezidans nan stil Federal ki gen 25 pye, 449 ak 449 ½ Hudson se yon opòtinite ra pou kreye yon rezidans gwo ak dimansyon jis nan West Village. Kounye a, se yon pè miwa de kay fanmi sèl, estrikti orijinal la te divize nan ane 1980 yo an de adrès avèk yon miray 4” CMU ant yo ki, lè yo fè pwob, sanble li pa estriktirèl e plis yon pwoblèm sifas. 449 ak 449 1/2 Hudson ap ofri sèlman kòm yon pè pou yon pri total mande de $11,995,000. Taksou pwopriyete pou 449 Hudson se $2,128 pa mwa ak 449 1/2 se $2,102 pa mwa (total pou kay la se $4,230 pa mwa).

Geometry ki anba a—plak etaj aliyen, kat fenèt nan tou de eleman East ak West, ansanm ak fenèt klè pou kè ki kouri Nò-Sid sou do kay la—sipòte yon retou ki valab nan yon espas lavi plen lavyè ak ekleraj natirèl eksepsyonèl soti nan maten pou ale nan aswè.

Reunifikasyon an retabli bati a nan echèl ki te gen entansyon li ak debloke yon pwogram ki aliyen ak atant modèn:

• Sikilasyon vètikal santralize, ki gen ladan potansyèl asansè
• Koneksyon san pwoblèm soti nan sal resepsyon pou jaden
• Suite Master sou dènye etaj ak aksè sou do kay
• Etaj pou akeyi konplè

Nan dimansyon sa a, bati a sòti nan limit yon ti kay tipik—ki pèmèt liy vizyon ki pi long, pi bon penetrasyon limyè jou, ak planifikasyon etaj ki pi fleksib materyèlman.

ARCHITECTURE + COMBINAISON

Konpozisyon orijinal la rete atravè kou pe avè brick kontinyèl sou fasad la, yon kornich inifye nan liy do kay la, ak nivo etaj ki aliyen avèk presizyon. Kori andirans ki travay ak kouf miwa plis konfime simetri inherent nan bati a. Chemen pou entegre a klè etonan:

• Miray demisyon an sanble li pa pote chaj
• Retire sa yo espere pèmèt 25 pye espas san kolòn
• Layout ki aliyen sipòte unifikasyon efikas
• Yon rapò prèske pafè sou sifas ak volim sipòte objektif bilding vèt

POTANSYAL EKSPANSYON

Zonaj la sipòte elajisman sansib:

• Kouran aktyèl entèn: 4,432, ak 3,324 SF anwo nivo tè. Anplis, 160 SF solaryòm ki soti nan sal resepsyon ki mennen nan yon espas jaden prive.
• Pèmèt (FAR 3.44): ~5,779 SF (Dwa ki pa itilize: ~2,455 SF)

PRESEDAN MONIMANT

Apwobasyon LPC ki tou pre nan kontèks imedya a sipòte entèvansyon sou do kay ak dèyè, sa ki bay yon chemen kredib pou ekspansyon. Ekip lis la pare pou angaje dirèkteman avèk achitek ak jeni achtè a pou avanse dilijans teknik, ki gen ladan dosye CCD1/ZRD1 (Kòd Konstriksyon & Predetermination Zoning). Tanpri note ke chif ki nan sa a baze sou rechèch inisyal e nou mande tout achtè yo konfime opòtinite a avèk pwòp Achitek yo ak ekspè zonaj.

MONTRAJ

Montre yo fèt sèlman sou randevou. Bati 449 lwe bay lokatè ki peye to mache ki ap kite nan mwa jen 2026. Ajan vandè a ka montre 449 ½ konplètman jiska dat sa a. Tout estrikti a ap delivre vid.

Originally constructed in 1860 as a single 25-foot Federal-style residence, 449 and 449 ½ Hudson are rare opportunity to create a right-sized grand West Village residence. Currently a mirrored pair of twin single-family homes, the original structure was divided in the 1980s into two addresses with a 4” CMU firewall between them which, upon probing, appears non-structural and largely superficial. 449 and 449 1/2 Hudson are being offered exclusively as a pair for total asking price of $11,995,000. Property tax for 449 Hudson is $2,128/month and 449 1/2 is $2,102/month (total for the house is $4,230/month).

Underlying geometry—aligned floorplates, four-windows at both East and West elevations, plus twin clerestory windows running North-South along the building roof—support a valuable return to full-width living and exceptional natural light from morning to night.

Reunification restores the building to its intended scale and unlocks a program aligned with modern expectations:

• Centralized vertical circulation, including elevator potential
• Seamless connection from parlor to garden
• Top Floor Level Master Suite with rooftop access
• Full-width entertaining floors

At this width, the building departs from the constraints of a typical narrow townhouse—enabling longer sightlines, improved daylight penetration, and materially more flexible floorplate planning.

ARCHITECTURE + COMBINATION

The original composition remains through continuous brick coursing across the facade, a unified cornice at the roofline, and precisely aligned floor levels. Working food-burning fireplaces and mirrored layouts further reinforce the building’s inherent symmetry. The path to integration is unusually clean:

• Demising wall appears non-load-bearing
• Removal expected to allow 25-foot column-free spans
• Aligned layouts support efficient unification
• A nearly perfect surface-to-volume ratio supports green building objectives

EXPANSION POTENTIAL

Zoning supports meaningful enlargement:

• Current interior square footage: 4,432, with 3,324 SF above grade. Plus 160 SF sunrooms off the parlor leading to a private backyard space.
• Allowable (FAR 3.44): ~5,779 SF (Unused rights: ~2,455 SF)
