407 E 12Th St

The Village Mews is a five-story, boutique pre-war condominium converted in 2002–2003 with 27 residences arranged around a landscaped central courtyard. The low-rise elevator building preserves historic façade details while offering townhouse-like layouts and multi-level homes such as duplexes and triplexes. Typical two‑bedroom units feature hardwood floors, solarium or oversized windows, in‑unit laundry, and a mix of private outdoor spaces ranging from garden-level patios to roof terraces. Common areas include a furnished roof deck, a planted courtyard with fountain, bicycle storage, and a resident superintendent; building systems include video intercom entry and low monthly common charges. Many residences show bespoke upgrades — chef or custom kitchens, heated bathroom floors, and smart-home fittings in some penthouses — reflecting varied individual renovations over time. The property sits on East 12th Street between First and Avenues, a short walk to Tompkins Square and Union Square parks and multiple subway lines, with grocery and retail amenities steps away. Pet-friendly rules, flexible ownership (including pied-a-terre and foreign buyers), and an intimate scale create a neighborhood-focused living experience rather than a high‑amenity, corporate tower environment.
