42 W 13Th St

A five-story pre-war cooperative dating to 1886, this boutique Greenwich Village elevator building occupies a narrow lot near the intersection of West Village, Chelsea, and Union Square. Masonry façades, tall double-height windows and high ceilings give the property a historic loft-like presence; interior layouts emphasize single-bedroom and three-bedroom units with models that have been sympathetically renovated. Residences commonly feature hardwood floors, exposed brick, oversized windows, and private outdoor spaces—including small balconies and terraces greater than 60 square feet on select homes. The building houses a modest amenity set geared to neighborhood living: a staffed entry with video intercom, a live-in superintendent, a central laundry room, and bicycle storage. Maintenance typically permits pets, pied-a-terres and co-purchases under board review, and subletting is allowed in defined circumstances. On-site services are straightforward rather than full-service; there is no garage but nearby public transit, grocery stores and fitness clubs are within easy walking distance, making car ownership optional for residents. The immediate neighborhood delivers a dense urban lifestyle with restaurants, cultural institutions, parks and multiple subway lines steps away.
