## Forty five million on Waverly
A Greenwich Village townhouse at 122 Waverly Place is back on the market asking $45 million, after a renovation that ran five years.
## Built in the 1830s
The Greek Revival building dates to the 1830s, which puts it among the older survivors on a block that has changed around it for nearly two centuries.
## Twenty two feet wide
The house measures 22 feet across. On a Manhattan street where most townhouses run narrower, that width is the whole argument for the price.

## Bought for six million
Gerald Rosenfeld, the former head of investment banking at Lazard Freres, purchased it in 2005 for $6 million.
## From apartments to one home
Rosenfeld converted the building from an apartment house back into a single-family residence, undoing decades of subdivision.
## Renovation never really stops
Each owner has rewritten the place. The long run of renovation and reinvention is the house's actual story, and it is still going.

> The long history of renovations and reinvention of a Greenwich Village townhouse continues.
## Key takeaway

This house has been rebuilt repeatedly, and each owner's reinvention is baked into the asking price.
