The iconic, instantly recognizable façade of The Peace House, Anton van Dalen's longtime family home and studio, is an impactful introduction to a very special building.    The property is comprised of three apartments, each with their own distinct feel and all featuring extraordinary light from south, east, and west exposures and views over neighboring gardens.  The garden level is  lined  with windows and offers  multiple communal spaces, as well as three bedrooms and a large lower level.  Up one flight awaits the full floor loft of the glass artist Bill Schneider, with 11 windows, great bones and  architectural detail, including riveted steel beams and exposed brick. This floor can be maintained in its current loft like layout, or modified to include as many as three bedrooms.   An upper duplex crowns the building and features tremendous light, bucolic views, and lovely architectural detail.  The lower level features a sunlit expansive great room and kitchen which opens seamlessly onto a large tranquil terrace to the rear.  The second level features vaulted ceilings and extraordinary light through multiple skylights. This space has been maintained as Mr. van Dalen’s studio, but could easily convert into an additional 3+ bedrooms.   Just above, and accessed via a whimsical staircase, the building's roof offers tremendous potential and lovely views over the village.   Ideally located just a half a block north of Thompkins Square Park, 166 Avenue A sits at the epicenter of one of Manhattan’s most enduringly independent neighborhoods, where community gardens, intimate restaurants, and a rebellious creative spirit continue to shape daily life. With its distinctive façade, artistic provenance, and compelling possibilities, this is a rare opportunity to write the next chapter of a house deeply woven into the fabric of downtown New York. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Multi Family - **Beds**: 5 - **Total Baths**: 4 - **Rooms**: 15 - **Sqft**: 4,520 sqft - **Stories**: 4 - **Year Built**: 1900 - **Price per Sqft**: $1,538 - **Monthly Taxes**: $1,241 / mo - **Listed On**: Oct 30, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 2 Days ### Residence Features - In Unit - See Remarks - Private Outdoor Space Under 60 Sqft - Dryer - Dishwasher - Washer - Hardwood ## Estimated Monthly Payment **$36,384 / month**, assuming a 20% down payment ($1,390,000), a 6.5% interest rate and a 30-year term.

They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Sales data through September 2026. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
