Tucked into one of Manhattan's most beloved neighborhoods, this charming and thoughtfully designed home combines classic New York character with a wonderfully open, airy feel.
With soaring 11-foot ceilings, three large windows overlooking beautiful flowering trees in spring, beautiful natural light, warm hardwood floors, and an original exposed-brick fireplace, the living space has an unmistakable sense of place. The smart layout makes excellent use of every inch, while custom built-ins and abundant storage keep the home feeling calm and uncluttered.
The open kitchen is stylish, highly functional, and beautifully integrated into the living space, with warm wood cabinetry, sleek white finishes, and a distinctive pale blue-green glass-tile backsplash. A brand-new Blomberg refrigerator with automatic ice maker and a De'Longhi gas cooktop add modern convenience to the thoughtfully designed kitchen, which makes everyday cooking and dining feel effortless.
Large windows bring in wonderful light throughout the day, while a dedicated workspace makes the apartment particularly well suited to life in the city today. The clean, modern bath features a glass-enclosed tub and shower and softly textured, neutral finishes.
One of the home's most special features is the lush landscaped courtyard at the heart of the co-op, an unexpectedly peaceful shared outdoor retreat surrounded by greenery, mature plantings, and historic West Village architecture. It feels wonderfully removed from the energy of the city while being right in the middle of it.
And the location is quintessential West Village. Tree-lined streets, charming historic buildings, exceptional restaurants and cafés, independent shops, galleries, and the Hudson River are all close at hand. This is a neighborhood made for wandering, lingering, and falling a little more in love with New York every day.
Adding to the home's appeal is a flexible co-op policy that permits owners to rent the apartment after just two years of ownership, an unusually attractive feature in New York City.
A home with character, light, smart design, excellent appliances, outdoor space, and the rare flexibility to make it work for both city living and the future.
Please note there is a Capital Assessment of $200 a month.
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.
