79 W 12Th St

The Lawrence House is a midcentury, 16-story cooperative constructed in 1961 and comprised of roughly 31 larger-format residences, primarily two- and three-bedroom layouts. The façade is unassuming and brick-clad, consistent with post‑war Manhattan residential blocks; interiors range from renovated turnkey apartments to original-condition units with classic galley kitchens and generous closet arrays. Common areas include a staffed 24‑hour attended lobby, a live‑in superintendent, two elevators, and a large, landscaped roof deck with panoramic views. Support facilities house a central laundry room, bicycle storage, private storage lockers, and a residents’ community/children’s playroom. Apartment-level finishes described across listings vary widely: some homes feature hardwood floors, custom millwork, high‑end kitchen appliances and marble baths, while others retain efficient, compact original kitchens and windowed bathrooms. The building’s policies accommodate pets on a case‑by‑case basis; pied‑à‑terres and co‑purchasing are considered with board approval, and subletting is permitted subject to board rules. Located at West 12th Street near Sixth Avenue, the property sits at the junction of Greenwich and the West Village, within walking distance of Washington Square Park, Union Square, multiple subway lines and a dense mix of restaurants, shops and cultural venues.
