A five-story boutique cooperative dating to 1875, this prewar West Village building groups with two sister houses to form an intimate co-op community. The masonry façade and traditional window rhythms reflect its 19th-century origins while substantial interior renovations have modernized many units. The property contains primarily studio layouts set within high-ceilinged volumes and retains classic details such as exposed brick, decorative fireplace mantels, tall multi-pane arched windows and original woodwork. Common areas are modest and residential in scale: a landscaped shared garden and courtyard that runs behind the row of buildings, a central laundry room, and the convenience of an on-site super. There is no elevator; most residences are reached by short flights. Unit finishes vary by renovation scope, with some apartments featuring fully updated kitchens with marble or Italian-designed cabinetry and top-tier appliances, windowed bathrooms and through-wall HVAC units. Pied-à-terres and co-purchasing can be considered on a case-by-case basis; subletting and pet policies are governed by board approval and have historically been restrictive (dogs often prohibited, cats sometimes allowed). Located on a cobblestone block near the High Line, Hudson River Park, the Whitney Museum and Meatpacking/Greenwich Village retail and dining, the building offers a compact, character-rich residential experience in a highly walkable central Manhattan neighborhood.
