354 W 12Th St

A five-story, 15-unit boutique cooperative built in 1875, this West Village brownstone collection reads as a low-rise prewar block rather than a modern tower. The building is walk-up only and retains many original period details across its studios: tall, multi-pane and arched windows, high ceilings, exposed brick, decorative fireplace mantels and hardwood floors. Units are predominantly efficiently planned studios, several of which have been fully renovated with contemporary kitchens and baths while preserving historic character. Shared spaces include a manicured common rear garden and courtyard that stretches behind three contiguous buildings, plus a live-in superintendent, voice-intercom entry and central laundry facilities. Exterior landscaping and views open toward tree-lined cobblestone West 12th Street and nearby Hudson River Park. Mechanical comforts in recent renovations include through-wall PTAC heating/air conditioning with Wi‑Fi thermostats and provisions for washer/dryer installation in some units. Pet policies and subletting/pied-à-terre rules vary by apartment but the co-op commonly restricts dogs while allowing cats or service animals under documentation. The building’s location places residents within immediate walking distance of the High Line, the Whitney Museum, Meatpacking District and multiple subway lines and regional rail connections.
