About

Named for legendary New York City enthusiast Mark Twain, who once lived in the immediate neighborhood, this venerable redbrick coop building graces the corner of Sixth Avenue and West 12th Street, an enviable setting in the very heart of Greenwich Village.

A canopied entryway on quiet 12th Street leads into the elegant lobby, staffed by a part-time doorman. Built in 1956 and converted to coops in 1983, the six-story building has 82 total units, a mix of studios, 1-bedrooms and 2-bedrooms.

Named for legendary New York City enthusiast Mark Twain, who once lived in the immediate neighborhood, this venerable redbrick coop building graces the corner of Sixth Avenue and West 12th Street, an enviable setting in the very heart of Greenwich Village.

A canopied entryway on quiet 12th Street leads into the elegant lobby, staffed by a part-time doorman. Built in 1956 and converted to coops in 1983, the six-story building has 82 total units, a mix of studios, 1-bedrooms and 2-bedrooms. Constructed in the era in-between the pre-war architectural period but before the post-war white brick trend, this distinctive building has apartments with ceiling heights over nine feet—well above average for post-war buildings, while two elevators allow for easy access throughout. The pet-friendly property offers on-site laundry, private basement storage, bike storage, a live-in super, and full-time maintenance staff.

With a setting at the nexus of Chelsea, Union Square and the West Village, this coop claims a truly quintessential New York City address. All the attractions of downtown Manhattan living are found right nearby, from noted restaurants like Kin Shop and the Waverly Inn to the very best in boutique shopping, cafes, nightspots, parks and coffee shops. The famed Greenmarket at Union Square is just a short stroll away, along with Whole Foods and an array of gourmet groceries. The 1/2/3, 4/5/6, A/C/E, N/R/Q, F/L/M and PATH train are all within five blocks, making anywhere in NYC reachable in minutes, and there is a convenient CitiBike station just around the corner on 13th Street.
