215 Sullivan Street's got history and a prime location and yet, after more than a year of being on the market, still no buyer for its townhouse unit. The neo-gothic mansion was originally built in 1892 and designed by Central Park co-designer Calvert Vaux for the Children’s Aid Society, but when the nonprofit deemed Greenwich Village "too rich," it was placed on the market and converted into a townhouse (because why not?) in 2014. It found a buyer in 2016; only to be put back on the market a few months later for much more than it sold for - $22.5M.
Just before the new year hit, the 6-bedroom, 7-bathroom mansion was price-chopped to a cool $17.995M. 2018 might be the year for a buyer, but in the meantime, we'll still be ogling over the 7,436-square-foot home's features, which include full-height glass windows, a double-height foyer, an elevator, and a private garage. Check out more features of the multi-million dollar listing below.
