This unique two-building New York property—there’s a townhouse and a carriage house—was not only home to legendary photographer Diane Arbus (check out her upcoming exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art). It was also once owned by Thomas B. Morgan, the late editor of The Village Voice, reports StreetEasy. Located in the West Village, the Federal-style home was built in the 1800s and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Ionic columns grace the main house’s refined brick façade, and inside much of the original detailing remains, including wide-plank hardwood floors, decorative moldings, and five fireplaces. On the garden floor is an eat-in kitchen and dining room, while the parlor floor includes a large living room, a reception room, and a study. There are four bedrooms, including the master suite, on the third and fourth floors. A 900-square-foot garden separates the rear of the townhouse from the carriage house, which has an open-plan living-dining room with a beamed ceiling and a mahogany staircase that leads to two more bedrooms. Listed for $12.5 million, this home is 5,000 sq. ft. with 6 bedrooms and 4 baths. Contact: Halstead Property, 212-381-6527
