Property Description for 29 Perry Street, 5-R
Located on one of the most idyllic, tree-lined blocks in Manhattan, this enchanting two-bedroom, one-bathroom WALK-UP residence at 29 Perry Street offers a true respite from the city's hustle and bustle. Situated in the heart of the West Village between West 4th Street and Waverly Place, this beautifully appointed home exudes the warmth and character that define quintessential downtown living.
Step through an entry foyer into a sun-flooded, perfectly laid-out oasis. The expansive living room features a wall of oversized, leaded-glass casement windows that bathe the space in eastern and northern light while offering peaceful views of lush greenery, communal gardens, and landmarked townhouses. The kitchen is efficiently designed for both charm and utility, boasting ample counter space and copious cabinetry. Tucked away from the main living area to provide an excellent separation of space, the two windowed bedrooms enjoy glorious morning sunlight and tranquil garden views. The windowed bathroom features beautiful subway-tiled walls and classic pre-war fixtures, while beautiful hardwood floors and central air conditioning complete this comfortable home.
Established as a cooperative in 1985, 29 Perry Street is an intimate, pet-friendly building with just two apartments per floor, ensuring a quiet, boutique lifestyle. Residents enjoy excellent basement amenities, including free laundry facilities, bike storage, and extra-large private storage cages. The co-op permits up to 80% financing and considers pied-à-terre ownership on a case-by-case basis.
Living at 29 Perry means owning a piece of New York history. Originally built in 1871, the building was purchased in the 1920s by the neighboring Church of St. John the Evangelist to preserve the neighborhood's residential integrity. The church transformed the surrounding tenement buildings into "St. John's Colony"-a haven designed specifically for artists and creatives. The building's entrance, lobby, and intimate two-unit-per-floor layout established during the Roaring Twenties remain beautifully intact to this day, preserving a true legacy of distinction and charm.

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.
