Angel "Vlady" Oliveros had always wanted a townhouse. He'd been looking with his husband Paul Camp, the chief financial officer of Circle Internet Financial, for years, and "by the end of it, I was just so tired," said Oliveros, who is an artist. The day before they were set to leave on a vacation to South America, Camp called Oliveros to tell him he'd found the perfect place. It was a historic brick townhouse on a quiet block in West Village, a short walk from the pulsing Meatpacking district. "I was like: 'No,'" Oliveros recalled. "'I'm not going.'"

Camp persisted, though. The next day, with the couple's luggage sitting outside the 21 foot-wide building, they signed an offer letter on the house. They closed in 2012 for what StreetEasy says was $5.5 million.
