When you imagine your perfect NYC getaway, do you dream about a scaled-down jewel box of a townhouse, with just enough room for you and your favorite guests, but also with a smiling and attentive building staff to take care of you when you're there and look after things when you're gone? Sunny, serene and pin-drop quiet, yet when you emerge from this elegant and turn-key escape, with its graceful architecture and immaculate and thoughtful touches, you are right in the lobby and out the door to the magic of Greenwich Village, a few languid steps from the diverse culinary wonders of Il Cantinori, Japonica, the Knickerbocker Bar and Grill, Nix, Otto and the like. So, you might find that you don't use that ingenious kitchen with its perfect built-ins, custom, black Viking Stove and clever, hidden cleaning and cooling drawers, quite as much as you thought you might. But, surely, espresso does have a certain je ne sais quoi when prepared in the built-in Miele coffee system. And the pleasures of winding down at the day's end in your steam shower or Jacuzzi cannot be overstated. Or you could, perhaps,  just stretch out in front of the fire. Absolutely nothing has been overlooked in this luxurious retreat, dreamily situated on the lobby level of 29 East 9th Street, one of the Village's architectural treasures, designed in 1924, along with its sister buildings, #35 and #45, by Harvey Wiley Corbett, who also designed the neighboring 1 Fifth Avenue, and later headed the architectural committee of the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. With its impeccable staff, gorgeous roof-top deck and sublime location, this residence, one of Greenwich Village's longest established cooperatives, remains a coveted destination for the most discerning buyer. Pets and pied-a-terres welcome.
