78 Charles Street, 2-W

FULLY RENTED 7/21/2015; Board-Approved. Beautiful stylish, townhouse floor-through 1-bedroom on premier block of West Village is up a classic brownstone stoop on the 2nd floor facing leafy and bucolic Charles St. Currently the apartment is arranged with the living room in the front window with a beautiful brick fireplace (decorative), high ceilings, and gorgeous original wood floors. The bedroom space accommodates a king sized bed, has a deep, custom-closet and a modern stainless steel ceiling fan. It would be easy to reverse the placement of the bedroom with the living space if you preferred to close off the bedroom; it's a very flexible layout. In between the living room and bedroom spaces there is a bonus area that can serve comfortably as both home office and dining area or can be left empty to give the home a loft-like sense of airiness and luxury. Depending on your own decorating ideas, this home could feel like an open loft, a cozy townhouse nest, and elegant prewar home, or a funky bohemian getaway. The modern and well-renovated kitchen is spacious and excellent for the home-cook. Tons of custom cabinetry, white solid-core counters, and a glass-tile backsplash, the kitchen glistens with efficiency and style. In addition to full-sized fridge and stove, a dishwasher completes this kitchen's appliance package. It also features two windows for great ventilation when cooking. The sleek modern bath feels like those found in a fine boutique hotel. There is no shortage of sunlight and air in this apartment with seven windows. Like most prewar spaces it has rich natural wood floors and very high ceilings. There are gorgeous details throughout which add visual charm, elegance and height to the spaces. This small coop community does have a shared roof deck which can be a nice option on a warm summer evening for quiet visiting and enjoying expansive views across downtown Manhattan. The townhouse is equipped with intercom security and the building super is on-site daily keeping the hallways and building clean and running smoothly. Of course, the best thing about 78 Charles St is it's incredible location. Stroll 2 blocks in any direction and enjoy world-class dining, amazing treats (ie Magnolia Bakery), banking and service business, and numerous transportation options all nestled into some of the prettiest blocks in New York City.
