Property Description for 708 Washington Street, 3-B
For decades the home and studio to an artist and their partner, this two-bedroom home has undergone a recent renovation and features a brand new kitchen, beautiful new hardwood floors and two big bedrooms in the heart of the West Village.
Enter into the spacious living/dining/kitchen area to appreciate the big open space and the sparkling new kitchen. There is plenty of room for living, dining and cooking. It's a party-thrower's paradise.
And what you won’t see is also what you won’t hear -- consulting with a sound engineer, the owners heavily invested in sound isolation throughout the unit. In many post-war buildings of this era, you hear your neighbors every sneeze. These sellers installed the most sophisticated acoustic technologies including insulation material and a floating ceiling and floor. This has resulted in a pin-drop quiet home, which also doesn’t transfer sound OUT, so you can play your music without the neighbors above and below complaining. They also updated and upgraded the dated electrical system.
The master bedroom is huge with plenty of space for a king-size bed plus a sitting and/or home office area. The second bedroom is nearly as large. Both have striking views of the much-talked-about mega mansion near completion across the street.
The bathroom was also recently redone with new sparkling white tile which contrasts beautifully with the custom floor made by the artist of stones (among them, Manhattan Schist, the bedrock of Manhattan) and polyurethane. There is also a washer/dryer in the unit.
The apartment is part of the free market development called the West Villages Houses. The coop is very strong financially, has a video intercom system, on site management office and 24-hour security, large maintenance staff, bike rooms and additional laundry facilities. It's close to all the great amenities of NYC’s famous West Village including Hudson River Park, the Whitney Museum, Meatpacking district, high end boutiques and restaurants.

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.
