Property Description for 37 West 12th Street, 4-J

Apartment 4J sits on a tree-lined street between 5th and 6th Avenues in Greenwich Village's highly sought-after Gold Coast. Designed by the renowned Sara Gilbane and featured in Better Homes and Gardens, this residence showcases a flowing floor plan that combines open spaces, distinct spaces, architectural detail, bold design, and perfectly proportioned rooms, to embody comfort, elegance, and high-end design.

As you enter the grand foyer, painted in a high-gloss finish with a gold leaf ceiling, you are greeted by a spacious living room offering tree-lined views of the building's private perennial garden. The room's sunny southern exposure makes it a delightful space year-round, and the breakfast nook creates multiple settings in the large space. Adjacent to the living room is a winterized sunroom, providing the perfect spot for enjoyment while overlooking the tranquil garden. Throughout the apartment, bold printed wallpapers infuse a sophisticated tropical-meets-mid-century ambiance to the space.

The kitchen, seamlessly connected to the dining area, features custom white cabinetry, white Caesarstone countertops, and a fresh green and white tile backsplash. It is equipped with top-of-the-line appliances including a Subzero fridge, Miele dishwasher, Wolf four-burner range with griddle, Wolf microwave, 24-bottle wine fridge, generous storage, and a convenient coffee bar.

Greenwich Village | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Birthplace of beatniks, Greenwich Village has always been a neighborhood bursting with creativity, home to artists, poets, musicians and writers. There is a lot of foot traffic in the neighborhood, as it gives convenient access to many other neighborhoods. There are a lot of popular eateries on MacDougal Street and bars on Bleecker Street. The neighborhood has a bit of a college-town feel, due to the presence of NYU. There aren’t large chain stores here, so it isn’t really a mecca for shopaholics, but you can find interesting vintage stores and specialty boutiques.

Available housing is centered on pre-war walk-ups. You can find good deals on the quieter, tree-lined side streets, as opposed to the bustling avenues. There are pockets of brownstones and townhouses, some dating back to the early 19th century, throughout the neighborhood, as well. You will find more luxurious housing in the newer high-rise buildings on Park and Fifth Avenues.

Washington Square Park is the heart of the neighborhood. If you sit near the Arch and close your eyes, you might catch an echo of the music and social history of the Park, floating through the air. Greats like Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and Paul Simon started their storied careers right here in Greenwich Village. Today, the Village is a celebration of diversity, where everyone is welcome.
