39 E 12Th St

University Mews is an eight-story, turn-of-the-century cast-iron loft building in Greenwich Village originally constructed around 1900 and later converted to a 94‑unit cooperative. The masonry and cast-iron façade conceals large industrial volumes inside: units commonly feature very high barrel‑vaulted ceilings, oversized windows, exposed brick and original cast‑iron columns that reflect the building’s printing‑factory past. Apartment types skew toward one‑bedroom lofts and duplex configurations with mezzanine sleeping areas, abundant built‑in storage, and lofted walk‑in closets in many homes. Interior finishes vary by unit from preserved pre‑war details to fully gut‑renovated contemporary kitchens and baths, and many residences include in‑unit washer/dryer hookups or concealed laundry areas. Common areas are full-service in character: a 24‑hour doorman, live‑in superintendent, full‑time porter/custodial staff, two elevators and on‑site laundry serve residents. Outdoor amenities include a planted, furnished roof deck with skyline views and a small landscaped courtyard; several units have private outdoor spaces under 60 sq ft. The building maintains a smoke‑free policy and permits co‑purchasing, pied‑à‑terres and guarantors on a case‑by‑case basis; cats are generally allowed while dogs are often restricted. Financially, the co‑op is positioned as well‑managed and lender‑friendly. Situated on a prime block between Washington Square and Union Square, the address places residents within immediate walking distance of major transit lines, the Union Square Greenmarket, grocery options and neighborhood retail, supporting an active, walkable Village lifestyle.
