A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Mead House would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
Mead House occupies a twenty-foot-wide townhouse on a short residential stretch of Perry Street. Robert Mook designed it in 1868 for carpenter and builder George F. Coddington Jr., who made it his home. The mansard roof and arched windows preserve the French Second Empire design despite later simplification of the façade. The property became a cooperative after its conversion filing was accepted in April 1980. Its present inventory includes compact upper-floor homes and a larger garden layout.
Architecture and unit composition
The original stoop was removed to create a basement entrance. The townhouse's narrow frontage and deep lot shape the apartments. Front rooms face Perry Street, while rear rooms face the interior of the block. One-bedroom layouts occupy part of a floor, and combined homes can span more of the building's depth. Tall windows and higher ceilings in some rooms reflect the original house proportions. The conversion has left a mix of plans, so equal bedroom counts do not necessarily mean equal living areas.
The garden residence has two bedrooms and direct access to landscaped rear outdoor space. That garden is private, and its access is tied to the home at the base. Upper-floor apartments have a different relationship to the street and courtyard: their outlook comes through windows above the adjoining yards. Working fireplaces are present in some homes, with condition and permitted use specific to each installation.
Building operations
A part-time superintendent maintains the common areas. Shared laundry is in the building, and basement storage and bicycle storage supplement the apartments. Entry uses a voice intercom. There is no elevator, making the number of stair flights relevant to deliveries and daily access.
The cooperative owns a single townhouse with ten residences. Building expenses therefore rest on a relatively small shareholder base, although each apartment's allocation follows its shares. Storage availability and any separate storage charge should be confirmed for the particular purchase; basement space does not automatically transfer simply because a seller currently uses it.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00621-0049) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
