Description

Situated at the corner of Greenwich and Perry Streets in the coveted Far West Village, this bright and spacious two-bedroom, two-bath residence with a home office and three fireplaces occupies the entire second floor of 731 Greenwich. The intimate building is one of 10 that collectively comprise a pre-Civil War cooperative surrounding a shared courtyard, with their origins dating back to the early 19th century.

2ND FLOOR

Up just one flight of stairs, this full-floor, loft-like home offers two entrances, nearly 35 feet of exceptional frontage along Perry Street, and 10 windows throughout.

The corner living room exudes prewar charm, anchored by a fireplace with a wood mantel set against exposed brick. With north and west exposures, light pours into this airy space through massive 7.5-foot windows (the tallest in the building!), framing views down Greenwich Street and cobblestoned Perry Street toward the Hudson River, with classic loft buildings and Bishop’s Crook lampposts adding to the historic streetscape. Soaring ceiling heights approaching 10 feet lend an impressive sense of volume, complemented by newly refinished natural oak floors. An adjacent windowed home office / den can be opened to expand the living space as shown in the proposed plans (subject to Board approval).

The kitchen, which overlooks Greenwich Street through another oversized window, is equipped with concrete countertops, a stainless steel backsplash, a polished chrome Dornbracht deck-mounted gooseneck bridge faucet, abundant Shaker-style cabinetry, a built-in wine rack and marble tile flooring. Premium stainless steel appliances include a Wolf gas range, Bosch dishwasher and brand-new Frigidaire refrigerator.

Perched along the Perry Street treetops through French doors, the expansive primary bedroom boasts a fireplace and an impressive 15-foot wall of exposed brick. The secondary bedroom showcases the home's third fireplace. Two full bathrooms complete this one-of-a-kind haven. One bathroom is enveloped in penny tile and appointed with a rain shower, tub, wall-mounted faucet, polished chrome Dornbracht fixtures, and an anti-fog medicine cabinet with integrated LED lighting; the second is clad in crisp subway tile and fitted with a glass-enclosed shower.

Other highlights of the 2nd Floor residence include an in-residence Bosch washer and dryer, multiple large closets, three fireplaces, and windows in every room.

There is currently an ongoing assessment in place to support building improvement projects ($600/month). The flip tax is 2.5% of the purchase price.

731 GREENWICH

731 Greenwich is an intimate four-story building within the Greenwich Village Historic District, originally formed from two early 19th-century houses rebuilt in 1853. Today, it is part of a collection of 10 small historic buildings that wrap the corner of Greenwich and Perry Streets, forming a singular cooperative community of 56 residences. Remodeled by architect Ferdinand Savignano in 1928, this enclave retains a handsome Spanish Colonial aesthetic. Together, they surround a discreet gated courtyard, landscaped and furnished for residents’ enjoyment.

The building sits catty-corner to the site of Leroy Street Studio’s highly anticipated 125 Perry, a boutique prewar condominium conversion of a century-old parking garage (rendered in the photos).

A part-time superintendent provides added security and day-to-day assistance.

The board maintains reasonable and accommodating policies, welcoming pets, pied-à-terres, parental and co-purchases, gifting, guarantors, sublets, and financing (80% max) with approval. Listing courtesy of Compass ...
