40 West 13th Street, 7

Occupying the entire top floor of a prewar condominium in the heart of Greenwich Village, Residence 7 at 40 West 13th Street spans over 3,200 square feet, a scale rarely found in downtown Manhattan. Oversized exposures in every direction fill the home with natural light, highlighting ceilings up to 19 feet, warm hardwood floors, and a distinctive mid-century modern character. A key-locked elevator opens directly into a sweeping great room that seamlessly integrates the foyer, kitchen, and living areas. The living room is defined by double-height ceilings and a dramatic wall of oversized windows, creating a striking sense of volume. A sculptural wood-burning stove anchors the space, while the dining area flows naturally from the living room. Overhead, a sloped wood ceiling adds warmth and architectural depth, complemented by original columns and exposed ductwork. The open kitchen features extensive custom millwork, abundant storage, and a large central island. A material palette of wood, steel, and stone reinforces the loft’s industrial character. The private quarters extend along the length of the home, creating a clear separation from the entertaining space. The primary bedroom occupies the southern end and is distinguished by curved movable walls, three oversized windows, and exposed brick, along with generous closets and a dedicated dressing area. The en-suite bath is clad in mosaic tile and luminous blue glass, centered around a sunken soaking tub. A red spiral staircase behind the bath provides roof access. A hallway lined with custom cabinetry leads to the second full bathroom and an in-unit laundry area. At the north end, the secondary bedroom connects to an upper-level sunroom via a staircase, with a skylight above drawing light through both levels. The sunroom can function as a third bedroom, studio, or office, with a third full bathroom attached. Originally home to the stained-glass atelier of the Rambusch Decorating Company, whose work includes the Waldorf Astoria, Empire State Building lobby, Frick Museum, Yale Art Gallery, and United Nations, the building is now a seven-unit full-floor loft condominium.
