The legendary painter resided in the home nearly a century ago. It's now available as a modern loft with much of its original charm.
A Greenwich Village loft that once served as the home and studio of a young Jackson Pollock is up for grabs for $1.99 million.
The single-bedroom abode sits on the top floor of a Federal-style townhouse—46 Carmine St.—which was built in 1827. In 1932, a then 20-year-old Pollock and his brother, Charles Pollock, called it home.
According to the listing, the siblings were studying under painter Thomas Hart Benton at the time.
Before the legendary abstract expressionist artist moved in, 46 Carmine St. had already begun its storied past. In the 1850s, a milliner sold hats and bonnets from a lower level, and many more artists lived and worked in the building through the 1930s.

The home is filled with hidden storage and interesting little nooks, such as this dining space. (DDReps) In 2010, the building was landmarked as part of the Greenwich Village Historic District, an initiative that celebrates and preserves a number of iconic buildings and locations, including properties owned by photographer Annie Leibovitz, a series of small businesses, and sites that have played an integral role in LGBTQ+ history.
“When you walk into this door, you’re stepping into 200 years of New York history,” listing agent Shane Boyle of Compass explains in an Instagram tour of the home.
The home has since been updated to support modern, while historic details remain, including the exposed brick and wooden ceiling beams. A newly renovated kitchen boasts sleek appliances and cabinetry, while the contemporary bathroom looks fresh with colorful tile and stylish finishes.
Thoughtful additions include a split-system air conditioning and hidden storage.
There’s also a generously sized walk-in closet, as well as a lofted space that could be used as a home studio or office. Outside, a shared garden space features a grill and some greenery as a city retreat.
The listing likens the home—which features a 14-foot vaulted ceiling and skylights that flood the space with sunshine—to an “urban treehouse with treetop outlooks.”

Although it’s been nearly a century since Pollock lived in the 687-square-foot loft, the current owner, Fergus Hurley, can confirm the space still fosters creativity.
Having moved from Ireland to New York City in January 2020 as a founder-in-residence at Google Labs, Google’s startup incubator, Hurley first resided in the apartment as a renter before purchasing the abode in an off-market deal in 2021.
Hurley tells Realtor.com® that “the apartment became much more than somewhere to live. It was a place to experiment and create.”
In addition to the startup he built while residing at 46 Carmine St., the AI entrepreneur worked with SoHo street artists in the building’s shared garden space to create a large Pollock-inspired painting. The piece hangs in a custom-built frame in the shape of the roofline.

Salvaged wood from the renovation was used to construct a Pollock-inspired guitar. (Carmine Street Guitars) “There’s something inspiring about creating something new in a 199-year-old building that Jackson Pollock once called home,” says Fergus.
While the painting does not currently convey with the sale of the property, it can be negotiated separately.
A wooden beam salvaged from the renovation was also repurposed into a guitar by Carmine Street Guitars, a small business steps away from the residence that's been crafting instruments from wood salvaged from New York City historic buildings since 1990.
“Selling is about starting my next chapter, not a change in how I feel about the apartment,” Fergus says. After marrying his wife in March 2026, the couple plan to build a new life in Miami.
“It’s been such a special home for me, and I want someone else to have the chance to enjoy it and make it a creative home of their own.”
Interestingly, 46 Carmine St. isn’t the only Manhattan home on the market with ties to Pollock. Less than a half-mile away, 9 MacDougal Alley is a historic townhouse in a gated mews.
The nearly $8 million listing is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment of 1,500 square feet. According to the listing, it once served as a “creative workspace” for Pollock, as well as artist Lee Krasner, who each used the townhouse as a studio in the 1950s.
