If you look close enough, you’ll find that New York City is filled with iconic landmarks, hidden in plain sight. One hidden gem in particular, located along Greenwich Village’s Charles Street, may at first appear as a charming farmhouse, but it is actually the location of one of the most iconic settings of children’s literature. Known as the “Goodnight Moon House," the author of the beloved children’s book, Margaret Wise Brown, previously rented the property. It was here that she wrote what has become a literary staple for the ages. 

Its literary roots, however, are not the only interesting aspect of the home. It was originally located on the Upper East Side before being moved downtown in 1967. Initially built as a book depository in 1901, 719 Greenwich Street is now a boutique loft building with 12 unique residences. With immeasurable charm and plenty of space, apartment #3S is the ideal New York City loft. 

Upon entry, via a key-locked elevator, the home invites you in with its abundant natural light and 4 spacious closets; a dream for any New York City resident.

Under its impressive 10-foot ceilings, you will find a beautiful kitchen equipped with a built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator, large island, and seating area.

Perfect for entertaining, the 50-foot living and dining area has 3 exposures that offer unbeatable views of Greenwich Village's tree-lined streets and historic architecture. 

With reclaimed hardwood floors, exposed brick, and its century-old wooden support beams, the home’s pre-war details make this loft truly one-of-a-kind.

The primary bedroom features an en-suite master bathroom and generously spacious closets.

Additionally, the home has access to the shared outdoor area on the roof, with gorgeous views of the Village. And for storage of seasonal equipment, bikes, and other large items, the basement area has storage space available to the building’s residents.
