717 Washington St. #3W

Tucked away in the far West Village is a most unique and delightful corner one bedroom with a windowed den/home office. The apartment, which has retained its prewar ethos, is bright and light with Hudson River views, offering northern and western exposures. Located on the corner of West 11th & Washington Streets – an area of the city that has truly retained its original and authentic appeal.

Built in 1890, the same year that saw the opening of Carnegie Hall and the George Washington Bridge, this historic walk-up building (the apartment is on the second floor) is part of a charming five-building complex with a very special interior “secret garden,” a furnished courtyard filled with trees, flowers, a 50 foot elm tree and a vintage “back house.” (The garden is currently under restoration.)

The building also boasts a beautifully landscaped and furnished roof deck with 360 views of the Hudson River, One World Trade, and the Empire State Building, with easy access to Hudson River Park, the High Line, the Meatpacking District, Bleecker Street and the West Village’s famous restaurants, including Wallse and The Spotted Pig. The Whitney is a few short blocks away. A parking garage is located just two doors down. Pied-a-terres and 80% financing are permitted. Maintenance is 60% tax deductible.
