Description
This property is not currently for sale or for rent on Trulia. The description and property data below may have been provided by a third party, the homeowner or public records.
The rare offering of this 1850 Greek Revival home provides a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of only 22 homes that create the landmarked and coveted MacDougal-Sullivan Gardens. Home to some of the city's most vibrant and interesting luminaries, the homes all share a private and secret park. 22.5' wide with approx. 5,075 interior square footage including the basement, this home has had only two owners in the last 100 years.
The MacDougal- Sullivan houses were built with the specific intent of attracting artists and musicians as a means to improving the quality and character of the neighborhood. 188 Sullivan was purchased in 1923 by Edgard Varese, considered one of the true pioneers in contemporary music. From 1923 to 1965, 188 Sullivan Street served as a salon and meeting place for many famous artists and musicians from both Europe and the US - including artists like Marcel Duchamp, jazz musicians like Dizzy Gillespie, and his close friend, the sculptor, Alexander Calder. The property's subsequent and most recent owner was Varese's protégé, Chou Wen-chung, one of the most celebrated Asian-American composers of the twentieth century who owned the home for over 50 years.
The shared gardens behind the homes are magical and sublime. Lined with mature trees and manicured flower beds, the concept of a private garden in Greenwich Village combined with the original and important architectural elements of the houses themselves lead the Landmarks Preservation Commission to designate the houses and their gardens as a Historic District.
The house, potentially a 5 bedroom with possible potential for expansion is in need of a full renovation so bring your architect and prepare to truly make this home your own.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe old principal Lisa run the school in a incredible way. Since she left the new principal created major damage to this school. She NEGLECT students needs. Avoids what parents ask, she completely disregards what your child needs. Won’t even discuss the matter your concerned about. She’s the reason the school has such a decline compared to all the schools nearby.Parent Review1y ago - Jhs 104 Simon Baruch

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a guardian of a current student at this school, this student is being bullied and none of the teachers are doing anything about it. It was already pretty bad that the teachers aren't doing anything about the bullying, but it is worse that the teachers did not let this student tell their family members about it because they say that it will make it a bigger deal. It is not alright for a teacher to tell their student to not call their parent because of it will ruin their school reputation. The teachers dealing with this problem says that they will be able to fix the problem but they didn't do anything. Now this student is afraid to go to school because the bullies threathens to jump this student and call their friends over to also bully and join in. Also, the bullies didn't get in trouble because the teacher said that he did not see it happen. This isn't the first time this student was bullied but the first time, there was at least one teacher that tried to solve the problem but she left so now this student is having trouble solving this new problem. As for learning, teaching, and other parts of reviewing a school, if students don't feel safe then they obviously would not feel motivated or excited about learning and other activities.Parent Review1y ago - Middle 297

"Great spots everywhere - enjoy good food, music, comedy, parks and people in every direction out your door. Hit the pier or take a jog to the waterfront. "

"The neighborhood is changed a lot over the centuries, and in the last 10 years has been highly gentrified, but maintains some of its unique character and as much cleaner and safer than it used to be"

"Everything is so neighborly here it’s just so much fun! I recommend it highly for everyone to try out!!!"

"Very busy subway hub. Pretty reliable. You can get anywhere in the city from here. The subways in NYC feel increasingly less safe."

"There are many families here with multiple daycare and school options. There are great open green spaces and parks as well. The only caution is the growing number of homeless New Yorkers coming to the Village begging for money."
