223-225 E 31st St New York, NY 10016

This double wide townhouse combines two townhouses with one certificate of occupancy and spans approximately 33 feet wide by 98 feet deep. The four-story mixed-use building totals about 9,071 square feet, with an additional buildable FAR of approximately 2,216 square feet. The street-level commercial portion includes a reception area (easily reconfigurable), a kitchen, two half bathrooms, three private offices, and one on-site parking garage space. Toward the rear, a studio space is constructed from the garden area of both houses, with a retractable sunroof and a tall architectural volume measuring approximately 23 feet tall by 42 feet long by 30 feet wide. There is also direct access to a full-lot basement for additional storage or functional space.

The property is located on the north side of East 31st Street between Second and Third Avenue. It sits along a townhouse-lined stretch with a residential feel while remaining close to Midtown. To the east, the block provides access to nearby daily conveniences, and AMC Theatres is described as anchoring evening and weekend foot traffic. Two blocks away, NYU Langone Health is noted as a major medical institution.

The layout supports a range of tenant and buyer strategies, from operating a commercial use on the first and second floors with storage below to maintaining separate residential income on the upper levels. The second floor includes multiple vacant rooms with hardwood floors and floor-to-ceiling multipaned windows overlooking East 31st Street, while the third and fourth floors are configured as apartments, including a sunroom opening to a large private terrace on the third floor and a fourth-floor unit with an oversized living room with skylight and a cook’s size kitchen. The combination of flexible commercial interiors and distinct residential footprints can fit live-work users, developers, and investors looking for a single building with multiple revenue or occupancy paths.
