About this home
Originally constructed in 1860 as a single 25-foot Federal-style residence, 449 and 449 ½ Hudson are an incredibly 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 symmetrical addresses with a 4” CMU firewall between them which, upon probing, appears non-structural and largely superficial. 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 the typical narrow Village house—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)
CONTEXT + PERFORMANCE
Nearby LPC approvals within the immediate context support rooftop and rear interventions, providing a credible path for expansion. Listing team is prepared to engage directly with purchaser’s architect and engineer to advance technical diligence, including CCD1/SRD1 filing. Please note figures contained herein are based on initial research and we ask all purchasers to confirm them with their own Architect and zoning experts.
