Stewart House at 70 East 10th St. #5U

Contract signed. The Stewart House is a full-service luxury building situated in the classic part of Greenwich Village that is universally beloved for its historic bohemian enchantment. The site itself has a colorful lineage, as having once been the former space of one of NYC’s landmarks, the A.T. Stewart store, regarded as Manhattan’s finest department store during a period in the 1800’s. It was still in existence a century later in 1956, when it burned down, although it had relocated to Broadway and 10th Street in 1862. The Stewart House stands 21 stories high, plus the penthouse floor, and is prominently set back from the street. It was built in 1960 and designed by architects Sylvan and Robert Bien, well-known for their stylish modern white brick facades. The structure is representative of the best of the early postwar era. Considered one of the most coveted co-op buildings in downtown Manhattan, The Stewart House boasts very low monthly maintenance coupled with unparalleled amenities that include around the clock attentive staff with full time concierge/doorman and live-in super, parking garage with direct building access, in-house gym, common courtyard, laundry center, children’s playroom, package room, and bike room. Other features include the rare cachet of a sweeping circular driveway (one of the city’s first), and beautifully landscaped gardens that welcome home residents with a refined aura of privacy.

This spacious north-facing 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom apartment features double pane panoramic windows that open out onto the renowned generations-old Grace Church and its sky-piercing majestic spire. A wonderful opportunity awaits to create a tranquil picturesque haven surrounded by mature trees and alive with lush greenery – all in the most desirable of locations. The home’s graciously proportioned foyer leads to a separate dining alcove and windowed kitchen, with 2 generously sized bedrooms, separate dressing area, abundant walk-in closets, and charming details throughout.

The Stewart House is mere blocks away from both Washington Square Park and Union Square, as well as countless world-class restaurants, boutique shopping, art galleries, nightlife, and transportation. Cats allowed ; sorry no dogs. W/Ds not permitted in individual units.
