With a growing number of luxury condo complexes attracting an ever-changing cast of residents, it’s often hard to find the romantic West Village charm that launched so many New York City dreams. That elusive charm defines this cozy studio at 729 Greenwich Street on an iconic block between Perry and Charles Streets. A private entrance accesses the street-level studio. Asking $545,000, the move-in-ready co-op is no relic; the stylish pad benefits from bespoke flourishes and updated infrastructure where it matters.

South-facing windows maximize light and overlook a quiet shared garden. Framed by refurbished wide plank hardwood floors and a new ceiling, the unit has new electrical throughout. Stylish accents include Rejuvenation pendant lights and dimmers, exposed brick walls, and a decorative fireplace fronted by vintage brass.



The renovated kitchen exudes European charm while providing the function needed for small-space living beneath a dramatic candelabra chandelier. Warm walnut butcher block countertops frame soft-close cabinet drawers, a two-drawer under-counter refrigerator/freezer, and a gas cooktop and oven. A stainless steel sink is framed by open shelving of solid walnut.
There’s plenty of room for sleeping in this petite maisonette. A windowed bath has been given new life with a reglazed tub and tiles.

A lovely shared garden offers seating and a grill area. The three-story co-op building has basement storage, an open bike parking area, and a full-time superintendent.
Nearly all subway lines are nearby, and the Hudson River Promenade, the High Line, the Whitney Museum, and some of the city’s best restaurants, bars, and shops can be found in every direction.
The pet-friendly co-op allows pieds-a-terre and co-purchasing. Unlimited subletting is allowed after two years of residency.
