227 W 11Th St

A six-story prewar co-op built in 1896, this intimate West Village residence occupies a classic townhouse-style block near Waverly Place and West 4th Street. The building’s exterior reads as late 19th-century masonry with traditional stoops and mature street trees that frame a quiet, residential streetscape. Interiors emphasize prewar character: high ceilings (commonly 9–11 feet), coved and crown moldings, picture rails, and restored hardwood floors. Typical units are one-bedroom layouts and modest two-bedroom plans configured with separate living and dining areas, windowed eat-in kitchens and windowed bathrooms. Many apartments feature built-ins, generous storage, arched openings, and exposed brick in select units. Shared amenities are small-scale and neighborhood-oriented — a planted residents’ garden, common laundry, bicycle storage, and a large storage room. Building operations are conventional coop: part-time superintendent, on-call maintenance support in some listings, and board policies that vary by apartment (pet rules generally allow one small dog up to about 20 lbs in many units; subletting typically limited to two years over ownership). Location is a defining asset: immediate access to boutique restaurants, shops, nightlife and multiple subway lines within a few minutes, offering both a tranquil tree-lined address and direct connectivity across Manhattan. The overall character is low-rise, well-maintained, and historically detailed with modest, amenity-focused common spaces rather than high-rise services.
