345 W 13Th St

A seven-story, late-19th-century loft condominium in Manhattan’s West Village, originally built in 1890 for the Astor estate and converted to residential use in the late 20th century. The masonry façade retains prewar character with metal cornices, pilasters, and restored decorative metalwork that announce its industrial origins. Inside, the 14 large two-bedroom lofts emphasize volume: ceilings near ten feet, exposed brick walls, heavy timber beams and original cast-iron columns recur throughout the units. Residences favor open, gallery-style floor plans with generous entertaining rooms, separate den/office spaces, and features such as wood-burning fireplaces, wide-plank hardwood floors, and select marble or slate baths. Kitchens are frequently renovated with high-end appliances and substantial work surfaces; many homes include in-unit laundry and significant built-in storage. Shared building amenities are intimate and service-oriented: a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, a roof deck with plantings, bicycle storage, and a basement storage room. Parking is not a building-provided feature. Pet policies are permissive in listings. Located at the corner of Hudson and West 13th Street, the building sits at the intersection of the West Village and Meatpacking District, steps from the High Line, Hudson River Park, Chelsea Market, galleries, and multiple subway lines, delivering a walkable, culture- and dining-rich urban lifestyle.
