Color, texture, and pre-war details define this decorator’s dream of a $4.85M Village co-op

This freshly renovated Greenwich Village co-op has interior designer Katie Ridder to thank for the just-right mix of sophisticated patterns, textures, and powdery pastel hues that grace every room. Updates to the two-bedroom duplex at 45 East 9th Street, asking $4,850,000, go beyond aesthetics with central air conditioning, new windows, pantry, bathrooms, laundry facilities, and a newly-minted kitchen. The building is known for its design showcase homes and notable residents like Vogue editor Hamish Bowles and “Sex and the City” writer Candace Bushnell.

Blessed with gracious pre-war proportions, the main floor begins with a foyer that opens into a large great room. Color is the star here, with walls of Tiffany blue highlighting the apartment’s graceful architectural details. A wall of south-facing windows, polished hardwood floors, and a tall coffered ceiling frame the room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. A Juliet balcony overlooks the building’s front garden and surrounding street.

A windowed kitchen offers both form and function; marble worktops frame top-of-the-line Miele appliances and ample storage. Millwork in a subtle aubergine hue brings color to the picture, joined by checkerboard-tiled flooring. A dining room/library, served by a marble-accented pantry/bar, has pale peach walls that complement southern light.

Hallways are accented with classic decorative wallpaper framed in gray. A compact powder room is a tiny design showcase of its own, featuring a dramatic dark marble basin and lively decorative accents. A convenient laundry nook offers a Miele washer/dryer.

On the apartment’s upper floor, a south-facing primary bedroom gets a windowed bath with a custom marble vanity and fancy fixtures. The second bedroom is good-sized, and its current use as a diva-worthy dressing room is a covetable luxury.

Built in 1925 and converted to a cooperative in 1958, the Helme and Corbett-designed full-service residence occupies a picture-perfect Village spot. Amenities at the pet-friendly building include a 24-hour door attendant, a landscaped roof deck, and a laundry room.
