Property Description for 70 Perry Street

First time being offered in 45 years! 20" Wide Multi-Family Townhouse with stunning northern and southern exposures on the very best West Village block! Welcome home to 70 Perry Street, an adorned four-unit architectural gem on one of the best streets in the West Village, arguably the most desired pocket of Lower Manhattan.

Enter the sprawling 4,500 square foot home on the duplexed ground level through a charming gated front garden with an inviting rod-iron door, and into the entry foyer. The centralized staircase takes you to the parlor floor, but to the right through garnished double doors is the gracious living room with beautiful crown and chair molding, paired with the marble fireplace. A large, convenient pantry with a full wall of cabinets and leads you to the eat-in country-styled kitchen. Another fireplace is situated with peaceful views of the back garden. Additionally, this level boasts a central full bathroom and prime laundry room. The first unit enjoys serene outdoor access right off the kitchen. A beautiful stone paver patio, a stone brick wall, and latticework for ivy to flourish on, surrounds a patio for outdoor furniture to relax and take in the tranquil retreat drowning out the city around you. A few steps up is an enchanting walkway surrounding the garden, made to wander and appreciate the foliage around you. Up the stairs is the magnificent parlor floor. Within the main parlor room is spacious volume with an ornamental 12 foot ceilings and pocket doors that lead you into a library area. Two walls of bookcases and large closets is a plus. This level has a full bathroom with a walk-in shower right across the hall from the primary bedroom that features double-paned windows, amazing northern light, and ornate design throughout. Separated by a secure door from the parlor level, the second third, and fourth floor all consist of two bedroom, one bathroom 880 square foot thru floor apartments with stackable washer/dryers and dishwashers. With spacious dining rooms and pocket doors that lead you into the generously sized living rooms, you'll feel endeared by the fireplaces and views that overlook tree-line Perry Street. As if they couldn't get any better, the units also all have an additional second bedroom/office space right off the living room with a large northern exposure window. The additional basement level gains entry access from the bottom unit and provides ample storage, including shelving, a utility space, boiler and hot water tank and an egress window. Every characteristic has been lovingly maintained whether that's the Beautiful wide plank floors or the rich, south-facing garden.

70 Perry was built in 1867 by Walter Jones, who also lived in the home at the time. The French Second Empire style boasts excellent proportions and a mansard roof that provides a unique look in comparison to the rest of the block. Landmarked in the Historic District, this property is a jewel flanked between the charm of Bleecker Street and West 4th Street. This is truly a restored step back into history that cannot be passed up.

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.
