At 32 East 22nd Street, they went in the opposite direction, reworking the historic building into just three private residences, each with its own outdoor space. The 26-foot-wide building in the Flatiron District offers buyers the option to combine two apartments or take all three, creating a nearly 9,000-square-foot home spread across multiple floors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tCalled <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/londonclaytownhouse.com\/\">London Clay Townhouse<\/a>, the project sits on a tree-lined block between Madison Square Park and Gramercy Park. The building was originally constructed around 1930 and later renovated by developer Robert Siegel, who was also behind The Hubert in TriBeCa and The Jane Hotel in the West Village. Andrew Heiberger of Buttonwood Development and Howard Lev of Wheelhouse Property have since restored the building and reworked the interiors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/robbreport.com\/shelter\/homes-for-sale\/waverly-place-greenwich-village-townhouse-1238638689\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/robbreport.com\/shelter\/homes-for-sale\/waverly-place-greenwich-village-townhouse-1238638689\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">RELATED: This Greenwich Village Townhouse Took 5 Years to Finish.

The building\u2019s width, he says, allowed the team to avoid the narrow rooms and long corridors common in <a href=\"https:\/\/robbreport.com\/tag\/townhouse\/\" id=\"auto-tag_townhouse\" data-tag=\"townhouse\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">townhouse<\/a> layouts and instead create larger entertaining areas with longer sightlines and more separation between public and private spaces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe Garden Parlor unit opens onto a private yard, while the Upper Parlor residence takes up an entire floor, and the three-bedroom penthouse spans two floors with a rooftop deck.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/robbreport.com\/wp-content\/themes\/pmc-robbreport-2017-v2\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/24_GARDEN-PARLOR-KITCHEN.jpg\" alt=\"london clay townhouse new york city\" data-lazy- data-lazy- height=\"805\" width=\"1200\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tThe Garden Parlor kitchen pairs gray cabinetry with stone countertops and subway tile.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKendall Gregory | DD-Reps<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAlong with a virtual doorman and a dedicated package room, each residence has key-fob elevator access. Heiberger says the idea was to give residents the privacy of a single-family townhouse without requiring them to take on the day-to-day logistics of one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tDesigner Haley Lankau of Studious Design, working with Stocki Design, kept the interiors relatively restrained, with custom millwork, natural stone, and integrated Miele appliances.
