Description
This pure classic six is on a high floor in a pure classic coop. Built as a coop in the late twenties, with only two apartments per floor, it was conceived as a private, serene refuge in the epicenter of the Village. And it has remained so. The lobby is always attended, as is the elevator. The super lives on site. There is no mail room; your mail is brought to your door. Virtually the only service lacking is a chocolate placed on your pillow at night, and that could probably be arranged! The apartment itself is bathed in sunlight and wrapped in a mural of views in all directions, from a sweeping panorama of Village landmarks to the Empire State Building, framed in a dining room window. There are two bedrooms and two baths, plus a maid's room and bath, which some have converted to a study, nursery, or guest room. The kitchen/pantry is large and flexible. There is a woodburning fireplace and much original detail. No room lacks natural light. The building represents stability itself. Many shareholders have lived there for decades, never dreaming of moving elsewhere, and, of course, the location is unparalleled, right on historic Washington Square, still the quintessence of everything one loves about the Village. Every neighborhood amenity is within steps, from NYU facilities to the finest restaurants in the city to shopping that will exceed your expectations. A little polishing applied to this rambling, comfortable rarity will create a home beloved in the future, just as it has been in the past.
