The building’s historic gravitas and soulfulness are immediately apparent upon entering. Heroic scale and irreplaceable architectural details abound throughout a myriad of luminous creative spaces which simply must be experienced. Ideally set on a 25.25 ft by 100.25 ft lot and spanning over 6,800 square feet 80 Forsyth Street is uniquely memorable. Approximately 10,000 square feet of additional air rights offer countless possibilities and a rare canvas for those seeking a property with unique character, cultural depth and an impressive provenance. The block's flexible zoning would permit a variety of uses, including as a live/work space, a headquarters for a foundation or museum, or an inspired single or multi-family residence (subject to review by buyer's architect). Originally constructed in 1874, the building was home to the Kol Israel Anshe Poland congregation, one of the earliest Eastern European Jewish communities to settle in New York after emigrating from Suwalki, Poland. Purpose-built as a synagogue, the structure featured a mikvah (ritual rainwater bath) in its basement—an uncommon and historically significant element that remained in use into the early 20th century. As the congregation flourished, it commissioned a grander synagogue nearby, leaving 80 Forsyth as a vital spiritual and communal anchor during the neighborhood’s formative years. By the early 1900s, as demographic and economic shifts reshaped the Lower East Side, the building transitioned into commercial use—mirroring the broader transformation of the neighborhood itself. Yet its most influential chapter was still to come. In 1962, the property was purchased by Milton Resnick, a seminal figure of the Abstract Expressionist movement, and his wife, painter Pat Passlof. Introduced by close friend Willem de Kooning, Resnick and Passlof transformed the former sanctuary into a combined residence and painting studio, honoring the vast, light-filled volume of the original space while imbuing it with new creative life. For nearly five decades, 80 Forsyth served as both home and studio—an intimate setting for artistic production, reflection, and dialogue at the heart of postwar American art. The property’s artistic lineage continues into the present day, serving as the studio and gallery of an internationally renown sculptural artist whose work engages natural fibers and other materials, draws strength from the building’s raw architectural presence, underscoring its enduring role as a site of artistic inquiry and production. Rich with nearly 150 years of layered history, 80 Forsyth Street stands as a rare and compelling embodiment of the Lower East Side’s evolution—from immigrant enclave to artistic epicenter. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Single Family Residence - **Total Baths**: 3 - **Rooms**: 7 - **Sqft**: 6,800 sqft - **Stories**: 3 - **Year Built**: 1874 - **Price per Sqft**: $1,610 - **Monthly Taxes**: $1,893 / mo - **Listed On**: Sep 11, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 1 Days ### Residence Features - Central Air - Common On Floor - In Unit - Private Outdoor Space Over 60 Sqft - Entrance Foyer - Hardwood - Park/Greenbelt ## About The Building ### 80 Forsyth Street 80 Forsyth Street, New York, NY 10002 A Townhouse in the neighborhood built in 1874. - **Year Built**: 1874 - **Total Units**: 1 - **Floors**: 3 [View the building page](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/buildings/new-york-city/manhattan/80-forsyth-street) ### Available Residences — For Sale (1) | Unit | Beds | Baths | Size | Price / Ft² | Price | Listing Office | Listed Date | Days on Market | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [N/A](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/buy/newyorkcity/manhattan/10002/80-forsyth-street-ny-10002) | Studio | 3 | 6,800 sqft | $1,610 | $10,950,000 | Sothebys International Realty | Sep 11, 2026 | 1 days | ## Estimated Monthly Payment **$57,262 / month**, assuming a 20% down payment ($2,190,000), a 6.5% interest rate and a 30-year term.
