78 Charles Street, #1W

Rare jewel box 1 bed/2 bath duplex on a renowned West Village block. In a brownstone building dating from the early 1900s, the thoughtful renovation and custom high-end design of this special home combine elegance, functionality, and ease of living. High ceilings, charming detail, new hardwood floors, Venetian plaster walls and ceilings, and a ’real’ curved staircase create the feeling of townhouse living but without the responsibility or financial risk.

While the apartment is on the first floor, the upper level is above (rather than at) street level. It functions as a spacious great room; including a living room, foyer, dining area, kitchen and full bath. The kitchen is centered on an imported dream brass gas stove topped by a magnificent hood.

The front window has a view of the quaint townhouses on Charles Street. Downstairs you’ll find the windowed bedroom, a dressing area/office, A/V closet, large primary bath with walk-in shower, and washer/dryer. There are closets galore and the boat enthusiast owners have artfully designed the space to discreetly incorporate every potential inch of storage (check out the drawers built into the staircase!). Precision custom cabinetry enhances every room.

Through-wall HVAC throughout. You can lock and unlock doors and turn the lights on and off remotely with your phone. This well-run, pet-friendly Village co-op has a beautifully furnished roof deck, video intercom, and automatic front doors. Spectrum WiFi and basic cable just $67/mo. thanks to a special rate negotiated for the co-op. Your WiFi connection extends to to roof deck and front stoop, offering alternatives when working from home. The tree-lined stretch of Charles Street is quintessential West Village.

Many wonderful dining and shopping options abound and Hudson River Park is just a couple of blocks away. It’s the perfect home in the perfect location.
