Why it’s so popular:
This apartment is one-of-a-kind, for a few reasons! Not the least of which is that Marlon Brando slept here. Located on the parlor level of a 1905 Beaux Arts style landmarked building, the one bedroom provides exceptional privacy, due to the fact that it doesn’t share any walls with other units. The gorgeous, extra large corner bedroom gets sunlight all day thanks to three, oversized windows with southern and western exposure. (Those windows also provide serene views of treetops and the nearly two-century-old garden of the neighboring First Presbyterian Church. There’s plenty of room for a king-size bed, as well additional furniture for lounging, a home office setup, etc.
The large, sun-filled living room includes a smokeless fireplace, built-in cabinetry, and even a petite window-side dining shelf offering views of the picturesque neighborhood below.
The spacious, designer-renovated chef’s kitchen features striking, custom teal cabinetry, commercial-level stainless steel appliances and fixtures, and a full-size range hood. The gut-renovated marble tiled bathroom includes a white lacquer vanity, high-end fixtures, and a modern glass shower with a rainfall showerhead.
Still more reasons to love this place? An in-unit, Miele washer-dryer, a smokeless fireplace, several built-ins, closet space, and through-the-wall air conditioners.

The building itself is beyond stunning, with a limestone facade, wrought iron balconies, and bay windows. A dry moat and ornate doors add to its regal quality. Inside, the lobby welcomes visitors with a marble floor and incredible Art Nouveau bas relief work. (To really get a sense of its beauty, check out the video tour below.)
This boutique co-op has a 24-hour doorman, a resident super, an elevator, and it’s pet-friendly. The neighborhood, of course, is rich in charm and history, and incredibly convenient. Located between Union Square Park and Washington Square Park, transit options in the surrounding area include the A, C, E, 4, 5, 6, N, R, Q, W and L.
