EAST VILLAGE — The soon-to-be former home of Trash and Vaudeville is on the market with an asking price of $11.9 million, real estate firm Eastern Consolidated announced Thursday.

Located at 4 St. Marks Place, the landmarked Federal-style townhouse features more than 10,000 square feet of space with four market-rate apartments in an area close to three area colleges and universities, making it “highly desirable for use as student housing,” the real estate firm said in a press release.

“Over 53,600 students attend major colleges and universities in the area including Cooper Union and the Manhattan Campus of St. John’s University, which are half a block from the property, and New York University, which is a few blocks away, making the area highly desirable for use as student housing,” said Ron Solarz, the Executive Managing Director and Principal of Eastern Consolidated, said in a statement.

The building also contains 5,668 square feet of retail space on the first floor and lower level, where Trash and Vaudeville had set up shop for 40 years before deciding to relocate to East 7th Street last summer.

Noting the area’s trendy shops and restaurants, as well as nearby subway stops, Eastern Consolidated said the space would “offer a new owner significant future upside on a vibrant East Village street that attracts a tremendous amount of foot traffic.”

The real estate firm also touted the building’s storied history, noting its first owner was Alexander Hamilton, Jr., the son of one of the Founding Fathers.

A number of performance art venues also occupied space in the 1950s and 1960s, including the Bridge Theater, which hosted artists like Yoko Ono, before Trash and Vaudeville took over in 1975, according to Eastern Consolidated.

Also known as the Hamilton-Holly House, the building was landmarked in 2004.
