Once a parking garage, this $85M Village penthouse is now in line to break neighborhood sales records

By Michelle Cohen

Here's how far Manhattan real estate has come (or perhaps how far, to hat-tip the late Jimmy Cliff, it has to fall). With no sign of a slowdown in sight, this penthouse at 125 Perry Street is asking $85 million. The apartment could set a price record for Downtown Manhattan, but it's competing with a nearby condo last listed for $87.5 million that entered contract this past summer. The 7,000-square-foot condo residence on Perry Street sits atop a corner brick building that was once a parking garage, as Mansion Global reported.

Famous skinny house in the Village is back on the market for $4.2M

By Michelle Cohen

At just nine-and-a-half feet wide, New York City’s narrowest townhouse at 75½ Bedford Street is once again for sale, asking $4,195,000. The historic 1873 townhouse is known as much for its famous past residents as for its narrow size. Known as Millay House, it has been home to poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, anthropologist Margaret Mead, and cartoonist William Steig, as well as screen luminaries Cary Grant and John Barrymore. The townhouse has since been renovated for modern living, making the most of its slender proportions.

This compact West Village co-op in the Halloran, a converted loft building at 9 Barrow Street, might be quite a find for someone seeking a downtown hideaway. Asking $585,000, the renovated studio has maintained its elegant pre-war charm in the form of wood beams and barrel-vaulted brick ceilings; a modern renovation has conferred efficiency in the form of a Murphy bed and a compact, capable kitchen.

Erewhon is coming to NYC, but you’ll need $36K to get in

By Aaron Ginsburg

Erewhon, the cult-favorite upscale Los Angeles grocery chain, is coming to New York City. But the market, known for celebrity-endorsed smoothies and $30 ice cubes, will be harder to access than the West Coast locations. As first spotted by Emily Sundberg's Feed Me newsletter, Erewhon will open within a private padel club being developed in the West Village by Kith founder Ronnie Fieg. On Monday, Fieg shared an Instagram post showing a blueprint for the club, dubbed Kith Ivy, on the 9th floor of 120 Leroy Street, revealing plans for padel courts, a restaurant, spa amenities, and a mini Erewhon. Access to the shop will be limited to members of the club; membership will cost $36,000 in initiation fees and $7,000 in annual dues, according to Feed Me.

By Devin Gannon

A penthouse in the West Village listed for $87,500,000 has found a buyer, potentially becoming the most expensive apartment ever sold in downtown Manhattan. As first reported by The Real Deal, the duplex apartment at 140 Jane Street, a boutique condominium currently under construction, measures roughly 9,500 square feet and features six bedrooms and seven baths. If the home fetches the asking price, it would be the priciest residential property sold in the area, beating out Jeff Bezos’ $80 million condo buy in 2019.

Lovely on its own, but even more interesting as a former firehouse, the five-story building at 78 Morton Street was built in the 1800s. In its current life, the 6,850-square-foot townhouse is a single-family residence that makes a remarkably strong case for living up to its $21 million ask. In addition to the peerless perk of a private, wood-paneled elevator that accesses each of its five floors, the exquisite home has a four-car garage/gallery space with a curb cut, a landscaped terrace garden, a glass-paneled penthouse level with a roof terrace, and an elegantly outfitted jazz club–complete with stage–in the basement.
