137a Christopher St

Enter through a private gated atrium garden into this beautifully preserved pre-war building in the heart of the West Village. This Duplex apartment has lots of character, and its two-level layout makes it ideal for living and working from home. The main level has exposed brick walls including oak floors. A full bathroom and a kitchenette are set apart from the main living area, so the living space stays open and uncluttered. A full closet and built-in shelving keep everything in its place. A sculptural spiral staircase leads down to the quarry-tiled lower level. It works well as a home office, studio, or private retreat, and it has its own half bath, a second full closet, and a custom 12-foot lighted built-in storage wall. Storage is rare in the West Village, and this home has plenty of it. The location is hard to beat. You're one block from the Hudson River piers for jogging, cycling, and sunsets, and across from the landmark Federal Archive Building. Some of the neighborhood's best restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and bars are a short walk away, as are NYU, The New School, and Cardozo Law School. Multiple subway lines and the PATH are close by. Shown by appointment only.
