136 Waverly Pl

A landmarked 16-story prewar cooperative completed in 1928, this Art Deco residence sits on Waverly Place in Greenwich Village and contains a small roster of one-bedroom homes. The masonry façade and an elegantly proportioned lobby announce the building’s 1920s origin; inside, apartments retain prewar character such as high beamed ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors, original moldings, picture rails and substantial closet storage. Common areas are classically residential rather than amenity-driven: a staffed 24-hour doorman and elevator service, a live-in superintendent, a central laundry room, bicycle storage, rentable resident storage units and a porter. Several apartments offer private outdoor terraces or expansive skyline views from high floors. The building operates as a full-service co-op with established financials and a professional management team; board policies permit pets, co-purchasers and, in many cases, subletting under set conditions while generally restricting pied-a-terres. Located a block from Washington Square Park and adjacent to multiple subway lines, the property places residents within walking distance of West Village restaurants, markets and cultural institutions, supporting a decidedly urban, walkable lifestyle rich in neighborhood character.
