Architecture Wednesday: West Village Apartment

On Perry Street in the West Village is where contemporary design style meets historic bones in this turnkey two-bedroom, two-bathroom home featuring expansive interiors, triple exposures and a desirable split-bedroom layout in a boutique cooperative.

The moment you enter the residence, you find a spacious, airy ambiance rarely found in historic West Village homes. Dramatic barrel-vaulted brick ceilings soar 14 feet high over wide-plank hardwood floors, substantial millwork, oversized windows and Juliet balconies facing north, east and south. The gracious foyer is lined with floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry.

Ahead, the open-plan great room invites you to relax and entertain alongside swaths of exposed brick, designer lighting, illuminated shelving niches, and a warm wood-burning fireplace. Sharing the space is the open kitchen, where custom cabinetry and marble surround stainless steel appliances, including a Miele gas range, cabinet-front refrigerator, dishwasher and Summit wine cooler. The oversized center island adds plenty of room for casual dining and conversation, while large glass doors frame southern sunlight. Opposite the kitchen is a table for eight and large windows open to the view.

Head to the owner’s suite to find a king-size bedroom with a roomy closet and its own sliding glass door and Juliet balcony. The en suite spa bathroom features a large soaking tub, rain shower, double vanity and illuminated medicine cabinets, all surrounded by floor-to-ceiling tile. A spacious secondary bedroom and a full guest bathroom complete the well-planned layout, while an in-unit washer-dryer and a deeded storage unit add comfort and convenience to this wonderful West Village sanctuary.

Built in 1905 and beautifully reimagined in 2017, 131 Perry Street is a stunning warehouse building featuring a striking corbelled brick facade with grand arches and a two-story tower reminiscent of medieval Italian design. The self-managed, 14-unit elevator co-op offers low monthly charges, part-time superintendent service, intercom entry, and private storage.

Located on a tree-lined Belgian-block street within the Greenwich Village Historic District, this home is surrounded by coveted West Village amenities such as Hudson River Park’s 500 acres of waterfront outdoor space and recreation, The High Line and Whitney Museum and iconic dining and nightlife venues such as Dante, White Horse Tavern and Magnolia Bakery.
