165 Charles St

165 Charles Street is a 16-story, boutique condominium completed in 2004 and known for its Richard Meier–designed contemporary aesthetic. The building contains primarily larger layouts including three- and four-bedroom residences as well as a small collection of one- and two-bedroom homes created within the same design language. Interiors emphasize light and minimalism: floor-to-ceiling triple-pane glazing, high ceilings (around 10–11 feet), wide-plank Wenge wood flooring, integrated smart controls, and bespoke millwork in many units. Residences feature luxury fittings such as chef-grade kitchens with brand appliances, spa-style bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and double vanities, walk-in closets, and built-in storage; some exceptional units were combined into multi-level triplexes and penthouses with private terraces. Common areas and building amenities are extensive for a boutique tower: a double-height atrium with a 50-foot infinity-edge lap pool and waterfall, a fully equipped fitness center and sauna, a private 35-seat screening room, residential lounge, landscaped garden/courtyard, bicycle room, and on-site storage and wine cellar options. Services include 24-hour doorman and concierge, live-in resident manager, and secure private entrances for certain floors. Outdoor access ties directly to the riverside setting: many residences capture Hudson River and skyline views and several offer balconies or terraces. Located in Manhattan’s West Village, the building sits within walking distance of Hudson River Park, the High Line, Whitney Museum, and Meatpacking District, adjacent to cobblestone streets, boutiques, and high-end dining, projecting an urban lifestyle that balances privacy with full-service condominium conveniences.
