240 East Houston Street — marketed as Houston Place — is a boutique condominium formed in 1988 when four adjoining early-1920s buildings at the corner of East Houston Street and Avenue A were combined and gut-converted into a single residence. It sits on the seam between the East Village and the Lower East Side, a corner that today anchors one of downtown's most active retail and nightlife stretches.
The conversion produced loft-scaled homes that are large for the neighborhood — layouts commonly exceeding 1,000 square feet, with high ceilings and preserved period detail. One portion of the assemblage, the 12 Avenue A frontage, was historically a speakeasy and dancehall before its later life as a multi-level luxury home.
