520 Laguardia Pl

A seven-story, 14-unit prewar elevator co-op built in 1880 and converted to co-op ownership in 1968, this boutique Greenwich Village address retains loft-era character across two apartments per floor. Units typically offer lofty ceiling heights, oversized sash windows, exposed beams or brick in select homes, and hardwood flooring; many residences have been reconfigured from three to two bedrooms while preserving flexible, open-plan layouts. Common interior attributes emphasize classic details and modern conveniences: entrance foyers, built-in storage, high ceilings, recessed lighting, generous closet solutions including walk-ins and his-and-hers arrangements, and smoke-free hallways. The building provides practical resident amenities—a roof deck, limited private outdoor spaces, and private basement storage allocated to apartments—and maintains elevator service for all floors. Pet ownership is permitted under house rules, and the co-op’s governance allows pied-a-terre purchases, subletting under specified conditions, gifting, and purchases for family use in many cases. Located on a quiet, tree-lined block a block from Washington Square Park, the property sits amid dense dining, shopping, nightlife, and transit options with immediate access to many subway lines. The self-managed, long-established coop projects an intimate, community-oriented lifestyle that blends historic architectural charm with the conveniences expected in downtown Manhattan.
