An utterly enchanting and perfectly laid out two-bedroom apartment on a quiet, blossum tree-lined Perry Street block. Located in the heart of this most special and desirable Manhattan neighborhood, this home exudes the warmth, character and charm that defines quintessential West Village living.
An entry foyer with sumptuous original woodwork leads into a comfortably sized living room with a gorgeous marble fireplace mantel and Venetian plaster walls. The dining area has lush views of communal gardens through a wall of beautiful leaded glass casement windows with operable transoms above. The separate wood-paneled kitchen (w/ dishwasher) is efficiently designed with copious storage space, and features a Bertazzoni range/oven and farmhouse sink.
The two windowed bedrooms offer an efficient separation of space from the main living area and enjoy glorious morning sunlight with peaceful garden views. Two large closets provide an abundance of storage. The windowed bathroom is in great condition and features a rain showerhead and subway tiled walls. Other features include thru-wall AC and newly re-finished hardwood floors.
Located in the heart of the West Village, between West 4th Street and Waverly Place, 29 Perry Street is an intimate, 10-unit walk-up building with FREE laundry facilities and extra large storage cages for residents in the basement. Originally built in 1871 with twice the number of apartments, the building began a new life in the 1920s when it was purchased by the Church of St. John the Evangelist, around the corner on Waverly Place. Near the turn century, the church was in danger of being swamped by teeming tenements, rundown boarding houses, and indifferent neighbors. In an effort to keep stable the area adjoining the church property, the vestry began acquiring one by one the surrounding buildings on Perry Street and West 11th Street, remodeling them with apartments of distinction and charm, and renting them out to artists and creatives. This became known as St. John's Colony, which included a communal garden in the center of the block adjoining the rear of the church. It was around this time that 29 Perry's entrance, lobby and apartments were remodeled into their current form with two apartments per floor. Eventually the building was sold by the church and converted to co-operative ownership in 1985.
