45 Christopher St

A distinguished 17-story prewar condominium completed in 1931, this Bing & Bing-designed West Village property blends classic 1930s craftsmanship with full-service condominium operations. The building’s exterior presents traditional masonry and a stately entrance leading into a tastefully restored lobby and serviced elevator banks. Residences are primarily two-bedroom layouts and a range of other apartment sizes, many retaining hallmark prewar details such as beamed or coffered ceilings, sunken living rooms, hardwood or herringbone floors, substantial moldings, and working wood-burning fireplaces. Kitchens and baths are frequently renovated to contemporary standards and may include high-end appliances, stone counters, and custom millwork; some units add private gardens or large terraces. Common areas include a panoramic landscaped roof deck, central laundry, bicycle storage, and private storage rooms. Building services and operations are white-glove in nature: 24-hour doorman/concierge, a live-in resident manager and on-site superintendent. Utility arrangements and certain building fees often include heat, hot water, and electricity; periodic capital assessments have been noted. The property is pet-friendly and offers a bike room and laundry; parking is not a primary building feature. Located directly across from Christopher Park in the Greenwich Village Historic District, the building sits within easy walking distance of Hudson River Park, Washington Square Park, High Line and multiple subway lines, surrounded by boutiques, restaurants and cultural destinations that define downtown Manhattan living.
