Historic 25-Foot Wide Mansion Hits The Market In Gramercy

GRAMERCY, NY — A 25-foot wide mansion is up for grabs in Gramercy.

The $9.75 million home at 216 E. 18th St. between Second and Third avenues features 5,000 square feet with 15 rooms, 5.5 bathrooms and seven fireplaces total, the listing shows.

The building is currently set up as a two-family home, but could be made into a single-family home.

The basement, garden floor and parlor feature a private entry underneath the stoop with a master bedroom, guest bedroom and home office. A windowed kitchen is featured on the parlor floor with access to a terrace. The basement includes laundry and recreation rooms. There is also a private garden.

The upper third and fourth floors include a living and dining room with another windowed kitchen, as well as a laundry room. The fourth floor has four bedrooms.

The entirety of the building is built on a 25- by 92-foot lot.

The four-story home, built in 1842, was once home to William E. Dodge, who co-founded Phelps Dodge Corporation and YMCA. Dodge is memorialized in a sculpture in Bryant Park. He lived in the home until 1853.
