Property Description for 712 Washington Street, 2-A

SUCCESS! West Village Houses successfully voted to become a full market-rate co-op on October 23!


An opportunity for the right home-buyer, 712 Washington Street, 2A is a generously proportioned true 2-bedroom corner unit on the 2nd floor of a rock-solid, well-maintained cooperative building in the most enchanted part of the West Village. Situated mid-block on quiet Washington Street between Perry and West 11th Streets in the shade of mature sycamore trees and with maintenance of only $ 811/month, this home is steps away from Perry Street Restaurant, Wallse, Aria, and a short walk to Whitney Museum and the High Line entrance in the bustling Meatpacking District.


The wide living and dining room is perfect for entertaining! Facing east towards Washington Street with cobblestone streets, townhouses and quaint eateries in view, the living space is column-free and can easily accommodate several pieces of furniture, a projector screen, or built-ins.


Both of the king-sized bedrooms face lush gardens and the splendid architecture on display on West 11th Street, including the Julian Schnabel-designed Palazzo Chupi. The rooms are peaceful and quiet and each contain deep, double-wide closets. The interior spaces are served by wall-through a/c (not window units!) and baseboard heating.


With residents staying for years and decades on end, it the neighborhood enjoys a conviviality not felt anyplace else in Manhattan. Many residents have added mini-split A/C and heating systems, in-unit washer/dryers, and have opened the kitchen up to the living area (though some prefer the privacy). Your full-time neighbors in the immediate vicinity are families who have been in the neighborhood for years, A-list celebrities, titans of industry, interesting misfits, those wishing to live near wonderful local schools, and increasingly those seeking to live near Google's expanding NY footprint.


Broker has attended West Village Houses board meetings, proxy meetings, lives among the West Village Houses community, is on a local block association and can answer questions. Please contact listing broker for specifics, exciting news, and for co-op policies regarding resale of units at West Village Houses.


With a master plan put into place by the famed Jane Jacobs, this 42-building cooperative welcomes dogs and cats, has indoor bicycle storage, nearby secure laundry, beautiful green spaces exclusive to residents that nearly no dollar amount could purchase downtown any longer, the most delightful building staff, a smart Board of Directors, and a full-time, 24-hour walking security patrol.

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.
