56 Jane St

56 Jane Street is a four-story prewar cooperative built in 1940 and located on a tree-lined West Village block. The low-rise elevator property contains primarily studios and one-bedroom layouts with high ceilings, hardwood floors and occasional alcoves or dens that reflect traditional prewar planning. Common interior features emphasize preserved period details alongside modern conveniences: built-in cabinetry, generous dining alcoves, large closets and a central laundry room. Shared spaces include a basement laundry, bike room, rentable private storage, and a modest lending library; the building is managed with a live-in superintendent and a video intercom system for access. Exterior attributes are intimate and neighborhood-scaled: a small building garden and some units with private outdoor spaces under 60 square feet contribute to the quiet residential character. Operationally the coop board is relatively flexible — allowing pets, pied-a-terres, parental assistance, guarantors and, after a residency period, subletting — which broadens buyer eligibility. Location is a core asset: immediate proximity to Hudson River Park, High Line, Chelsea Market, the Whitney Museum and multiple subway lines (A/C/E, L, 1/2/3) creates a highly walkable, culturally rich urban setting typical of the West Village lifestyle.
