Thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom, this oversized one-bedroom, one-bath home is in true move-in condition and works equally well as a full-time residence or a refined pied-à-terre. The layout has been smartly reimagined to maximize both light and flow, with custom double pocket doors that open the bedroom to the full span of nearly 24 feet of windows-creating a dramatic sense of space when fully open, while still offering privacy when desired.
The expanded kitchen features sleek custom cabinetry with generous storage, stainless steel appliances, and Caesarstone countertops-designed for both functionality and style. The bathroom has been significantly enlarged and finished as a spa-like retreat, complete with a large walk-in shower and elegant modern details. Dual pocket doors allow the bath to function as an en-suite or be accessed separately for guests.
Additional highlights include designer lighting throughout and newly refinished ebony hardwood floors that add warmth and sophistication to the home.

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.
