38 King Street #TOWNHOUSE

"RICH" WITH ARCHITECTUREThe townhouses on
Charlton-King-Vandam are all that remains of a city plan, conceived
and mapped in 1797, but almost completely developed between the
years 1820 and 1829. The boundaries of this neighborhood were
originally from the Hudson River (Greenwich Street) to MacDougal
Street, and from Vandam to King Streets. Developed from one large
estate by John Jacob Astor, this historic district was best known
for the Georgian mansion "Richmond Hill" built in 1767. Richmond
Hill became the residence of George Washington during the
revolution and later the home of Aaron Burr. After his duel with
Hamilton, Burr was forced to leave the city and sold the land and
plans for development back to Astor. As designated by the Landmarks
Historic Preservation, the Charlton-King-Vandam townhouses
"represent the greatest of rare and attractive Federal style
townhouses." Ada Louise Huxtable, one of New York's most well-known
architecture critics once referred to Charlton-King-Vandam as the
"richest area" of Federal and Greek Revival townhouses.THE
RESIDENCE TODAYRenovated in 2009, this 20 foot wide townhouse
