Historic 1850s carriage house in Manhattan listed for $2.5 million

Tucked behind a gated entrance on West 46th Street, a standalone carriage house from the 1850s is being offered for $2.5 million. The 1,500-square-foot residence features three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and an auxiliary studio with its own office, bedroom and bath, plus two wood-burning fireplaces and stained-glass windows. Located inside Clinton Court, the hidden courtyard has historically attracted artists and performers, including actress Elizabeth Ashley and playwright Neil Simon.

The listing, handled by Brown Harris Stevens, shows a price decline from $3.75 million when first listed in May 2025 to the present asking price, a reduction of roughly one-third. The cooperative charges monthly fees of about $4,000, and the home has been used as a set for movies such as Woody Allen’s “Bullets Over Broadway” and TV series like “Law & Order.”
