Built in 1881 as one of 32 houses for persons of moderate means by John Henderson, an aspiring fur-importer and real estate developer, this house is one of only 24 Henderson houses that remain. Designed by Lamb and Rich Architects in the Queen Anne style, these houses make up one of the most picturesque townhouse blocks in all of Manhattan, comprising the Henderson Place Historic District. Once enlarged by fourth and fifth floor additions, #142 is one of the largest residences on the block. Recently gutted and painstakingly renovated by Ulises Liceaga, a recognized and accomplished townhouse designer, the house awaits its first new owners and occupants. Configured with five bedrooms, four full baths, two half baths, a modern chefs kitchen, two working gas fireplaces, four outdoor spaces, and state of the art mechanicals and equipment, the house offers over 3,800 sq.ft. of interior living space and nearly 500 sq.ft. of outdoor space with exceptional views of Carl Schurz Park from every floor.
