41 Jane St

A five-story prewar brownstone cooperative built in 1915, this intimate West Village building contains fourteen residences primarily configured as studios and one-bedrooms. The façade and massing reflect early 20th-century townhouse scale rather than a midblock apartment tower; interiors commonly display restored period elements such as high ceilings, crown moldings, exposed brick and wood beams, functioning wood-burning fireplaces, hardwood floors, and built-in cabinetry. Typical unit layouts emphasize compact, efficient living with windowed kitchens and bathrooms, generous closet storage often built into high ceiling volumes, and select apartments offering private outdoor space or rear-facing quiet exposures. Shared building features are low-key and service-oriented: laundry and bike rooms in the basement, rentable storage cages (waitlist), a part-time superintendent, intercom entry, and limited on-site building storage. Ownership perks include resident access to the privately maintained Jane Street Garden across the street via keyed entry. The cooperative’s policies historically permit pied-à-terres, guarantors and subletting after a holding period, but maintain a no-pets rule. Located on a tree-lined, cobblestoned block where the West Village meets the Meatpacking District, the building is steps from multiple subway lines, waterfront parks, and cultural destinations, offering a quiet, highly walkable Village lifestyle anchored by historic neighborhood character.
