Why this West Village “townhouse” was a hard sell

The red brick townhouse at 197 West Houston Street seems to have it all: real oak floors, a working wood-burning fireplace and a hidden back garden surrounded by leaf-vined walls. A listing for the home touted “a rare opportunity to experience true townhouse living,” and with an asking price of just $1,875 per square foot, the property was seeking 30 percent off the area’s average going rate for townhomes. There’s just one catch: it comes with another person living in it. That large — or rather, person-sized — caveat explains why the home has spent a year on the market and gone through a number of deals that fell apart at the last minute, according to Serhant’s Frayda Resnick, who has had the listing. This month, the home finally closed for $2.1 million.
