Carter's Review

This handsome, red-brick, 5-story, residential building at 95 Charles Street at Bleecker and Hudson streets in the West Village was erected in 2002 and has only four condominium apartments.

It is 38 feet wide.

It is known as West Village Apartments and is infinitely more attractive and the antithesis of the the very dreary West Village Houses of low-rise apartment buildings nearby that were fostered by Jane Jacobs, a former resident of the West Village who moved to Canada in 1968 so her son could avoid the draft.  She was the author of an influential book published in 1961 on planning called “The Death and Life of American Cities.”

Bottom Line

This demure and attractive, wide building has one of the city’s most spectacular apartments with a large stainless-steel-paneled garden and four floors of living space.

Description

The building has precast stone detailing with a broad bandcourse above the first floor and two string courses above the fourth floor.

It has a broad copper cornice.

The windows on the first and top floors are slightly arched and the spaces between those windows have four inset notches.

Amenities

The building has a doorman, a fitness center, keyed elevator access and permits pets.

Apartments

All apartments have 10-foot-high ceilings and wood-burning fireplaces.

The quadriplex garden unit has about 6,500 square feet and six bedrooms.  It has a 24-pane, large window wall on the 1,400-square-foot garden that is partially lined with large stainless steel panels.  The living room has 16-foot-high ceilings and satin-toned wide-plank cherry floors.  There is a 22-foot-long, open kitchen with a Wolf six-burner stove and a double-door Subzero refrigerator and 32-feet of cherry kitchen cabinetry.  The apartment also has two kitchenettes.

The third and fourth floor apartments have 2,289 square feet each.

The duplex penthouse has 3,255 square feet of interior space and 2,000 square feet of exterior space.  It has a 35-foot-wide living room and a balcony and two bedrooms and a balcony.
