Property Description for 36 Bethune Street, 1

First open house and showings on Sunday, May 15th from 1130-1PM!

Steeped in history and fabulously renovated, Apartment 1 at 36 Bethune Street is an enchanting 1 bedroom gated garden residence in the heart of the West Village. Built in 1840, this completely gut-renovated home was the Carriage House Manager's Cottage for the carriage house compound and adjacent 4-story townhouse, making it a special slice of New York. Classic elements abound, from original exposed brick to the timeless "Ticket Window" in the bedroom that was uncovered and restored during a 2011 "down to the studs" renovation by Daniel Silver of ONG&ONG Architects. EVERYTHING is new and in pristine condition, from the walls and ceilings to the new solid white oak plank flooring with a new insulated subfloor, all lighting fixtures, new electric with dimmer switches and recessed LED lighting, new plumbing, insulation, Mitsubishi central heating and air system, and CAT5/HDMI wiring for your high-tech needs. Northern, southern and western exposures invite in beautiful natural light.

Live in a rare NYC treasure that greets you with blue granite entry steps and a new solid wood dual-face front door. Overlook the peaceful courtyard in the living area graced by a bay window with a Cambria Durham quartz workspace and Wenge wood privacy shutters. Nestle by the brick fireplace with a custom Wenge wood mantle, Dimplex Opti-Myst insert and supplemental forced heat. The redone kitchen is a chef's dream with Wenge wood cabinets/drawers, Cambria Durham Kitchen quartz counters with waterfall edge, seamless tempered glass backsplash, Kohler faucet with retractable spray, GE Profile 30" dual fuel slide-in gas/electric cooktop/convection oven, GE Advantium convection oven/microwave, GE Profile dishwasher with custom Wenge wood cabinet panel, and built-in GE Monogram custom Wenge wood-paneled fridge with a 2-drawer freezer, water filter and ice maker. The renovated bath indulges with Kohler fixtures, Grohe faucets, and a walk-in shower with tempered glass and glass tile surfaces. Quieted by Cityproof sound insulating windows, the bedroom is a perfect retreat with an exposed brick wall, built-in white oak storage unit and wired home entertainment center. An Asko washer dryer is included, and a security system with motion detectors and alarm panel provides protection and peace of mind.

Comprised of 4 buildings (one townhouse and 3 cottages) that share a courtyard/garden, the co-op is pet friendly and does not have an underlying mortgage. Co purchasing, gifting and pied a terres are permitted. The location is exceptional with a plethora of restaurants and shops nearby.

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.
