David Bouley, a chef with a Michelin star, has advertised his historic Tribeca townhouse for $12.99 million.
The 25-foot-wide residence at 17 Harrison Street was designed by architect Charles W. Hurth and erected in 1869.
In 2016, Bouley paid $12 million for a four-story property with a cast-iron foundation and a masonry loft building that was originally used by municipal butter and egg dealers.
In addition to a pressed metal cornice adorning the top floor and two individual rooftop terraces totaling over 1,000 square feet, the residence is located on one of the most desired cobblestone lanes in the area, between Staple and Greenwich.
At 6,400 square feet, including the basement, the residence is a triplex with six bedrooms and a separate duplex on the first floor. However, it will be delivered empty as a four-story white box with buildable air rights to convert it into a single-family home or mixed-use structure.
The triplex features an open living area and a kitchen with a chef’s table and a wide eat-in island. A windowed stairway leads to a skylit sunroom surrounded by rooftop terraces for outdoor eating, urban gardening, and entertainment.
The duplex on the ground floor offers an open-concept living area, dining room, and kitchen that connects to a basement with built-in closets. There are tall sash windows, hardwood floors, crown moldings, and both pocket and French doors throughout. Both units include washers and dryers and are well-lit with huge windows and high ceilings.
Serhant’s Ryan Serhant and Chase Landow are the listed agents.
