Property Description for 243 Waverly Place
First Showings to begin April 28th!
Perfection on Waverly.
Walk down Waverly Place and you will be surrounded by stunning townhouses, wisteria, cherry blossoms, and marigolds blooming. There really may not be a prettier block in all of New York City. It is quiet and idyllic.
Now enter 243 Waverly. The first thing you will notice is the fantastic layout and high ceilings throughout. The entry floor has an inviting living room and separate casual living space for relaxing, game playing, or watching TV. Downstairs is an amazing entertaining space with professional chef's kitchen, dining room, outdoor space for grilling, and dining al fresco. On a snowy night you can also enjoy the Japanese soaking tub for a true Zen-like experience under the stars.
As you go upstairs, you have the children's/guest floor, with two adjacent oversized bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom. Each room is outfitted with built in trundle bunk beds, so there is plenty of room for friends. The top floor is the master suite floor with a bedroom, master bathroom, and an oversized office or sitting room. The master bath has non-fogging mirrors with a fabulous double shower, which is enclosed to prevent condensation on the skylights above. This may be the most beautiful place in the house to see the sky changing colors.
What you can't readily notice, but makes all the difference, is what is behind the walls and the attention to detail throughout. The owners gutted this home 8 years ago and took painstaking efforts to make sure it was built to the highest level of quality. The house is wired for Ethernet/CAT-5/coaxial to every room, the kitchen is also wired for sound, a continuous water heater and water tank (so you never run out of hot water), and a new roof. There is an abundance of thoughtfully designed storage. Every fireplace has its own special finish: white gold leaf on the kitchen floor, mother of pearl for the parlor, green marble for living room/library, and butterscotch marble on the top floor. And last but not least a raised floor in the finished basement which has never flooded even during Hurricane Sandy.
All of this on Waverly Place in the West Village of New York City. This 1888 Romanesque revival town house was designed by William Tuthill, architect of Carnegie Hall. It's one of his precious few remaining residential buildings in the city. It just doesn't get better than this.

West Village | Manhattan
Quick Profile
Known for its high-end shopping on Bleecker Street, the elegant brownstones dating back to colonial times that have been depicted in films and television, the abundance of cafes, and its celebrity residents, the West Village neighborhood is what springs to mind when you think of the essence of New York City. This is a neighborhood where the pace of life is less hurried, and harried, than in other neighborhoods, exuding an understated elegance and naturally beautiful sophistication and charm.
The West Village has something to offer everyone, whether your taste runs to designer goods and trend-setting restaurants, or you are happier browsing thrift stores and whiling away the hours in conversation with friends at a hole-in-the-wall coffee shop. There are public green spaces dotted throughout this neighborhood, where you can stop and commune with nature, or grab a bite to eat from a local deli or cafe and have a picnic. The Hudson River Park offers recreational opportunities and events for all ages.
There is a tradition of bohemian non-conformity attached to the West Village. Even the intimate, tree-lined, and sometimes cobblestoned, streets refuse to conform to the grid layout of the rest of Manhattan. Activism and social consciousness have always been hallmarks of this neighborhood. The neighborhood is diverse and accepting of all. You will find artistic venues and experimental theater, together with a broad spectrum of bars, including speakeasies, and restaurants featuring myriad cuisines.
The West Village is primarily residential, conspicuously lacking the high-rise office buildings that characterize other neighborhoods. This lends an air of quiet sophistication during the day. At night, the area becomes more lively, as residents frequent their favorite restaurants, theaters, cafes, and gastropubs. Housing consists of brownstones dating back to the 18th century, low-rise walk-ups, townhouses, artists lofts, and condos in renovated buildings. Newer high-rise residential buildings are cropping up along the Hudson River. Always popular with celebrities and artistic types, the West Village is now attracting families and young professionals in the tech and financial fields.
