Property Description for 29 Perry Street, 2-F
IF YOU BUY THIS
You'll be able to tell your friends: "I live over on Perry Street, between Waverly Place and West Fourth." Street names that are musical sounds to anyone who dreams of living in the West Village. This quiet, picturesque block is utterly enchanting, lined with brick rowhouses and mature blossoming trees on both sides. And this apartment is just a gem.
An entry foyer leads one into a comfortably sized living room with windows facing south onto Perry receiving glorious sunlight. A second bedroom is windowed, as is the bathroom. The hardwood floors, plaster walls and ceiling with original moldings have all been brought to tip top, beautifuland ready to use condition. The kitchen and bathroom areas are opportunities to design the West Village look you want. Two original fireplaces, built-in wood shelving and two large walk-in closets complete this charming home.
Located in the heart of the West Village, 29 Perry Street is an intimate, 10-unit walk-up co-op established in 1985. Originally built in 1871 with twice the number of apartments, the building began a new life in the 1920s when it was purchased by the Church of St. John the Evangelist, around the corner on Waverly Place. Near the turn century, the church was in danger of being swamped by teeming tenements, rundown boarding houses, and indifferent neighbors. In an effort to keep stable the area adjoining the church property, the vestry began acquiring one by one the surrounding buildings on Perry Street and West 11th Street, remodeling them with apartments of distinction and charm, and renting them out to artists and creatives. This became known as St. John's Colony, which included a communal garden in the center of the block adjoining the rear of the church. It was around this time that 29 Perry's entrance, lobby and apartments were remodeled into their current form with two apartments per floor.

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.
