The apartment is being sold through bankruptcy procedure, and the board is “beyond excited that a new owner is coming in.”
At $2.5 million, the duplex seems like a steal, which is partly because it needs an update. “The bathroom needs to be gutted. The kitchen needs work,” said broker Marc Yaverbaum. “Someone’s going to come in and put a high-end renovation in this place and make it beautiful.” That someone can also push the co-op board to install an elevator, an idea that’s been floated before. But the low price may not just be because of the walk-up or the renovation.
160 Chambers Street is an 1833 landmarked building that was once home to one of the city’s first police precincts, which handed it over to a romantically named hospital , before the Fire Department’s Engine Company 29 took over from 1897 to 1947, according to the Landmarks Preservation Commission. Those skylights are brand new. They replaced old windows that were the source of a leak that evolved into legal drama between the former owner, Lawrence Omansky, and the co-op board.
The main living space has 20-foot-high ceilings, a working fireplace, and a floating staircase that winds up to the second floor.
