This jewel of a prewar West Village condo is the one that the new condos nearby are trying to emulate, and this unit has the finest renovation ever brought to market in the building, with an enviable level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. All of the millwork, moldings, fireplace surround, bookshelves, radiator covers, and cabinetry were done specifically for this unit, by the same craftsman who recently renovated the lobby. He also built the cedar closet that links the two bedrooms, the kitchen, and the two baths.Builders Bing & Bing and designer Emory Roth are justly renowned for creating beautifully proportioned spaces and this unit epitomizes their style. There are two things nearly unique to this unit: it is the only non-penthouse in the condo with a terrace (offering a quiet classic West Village mid-block vantage for coffee or wine) and one of two units in the building approved for central air-conditioning. (The seller will leave the new owner with plans approved by the condo and Landmarks, with drawings and expense estimates if the new owner is interested in pursuing that option.) With newly installed windows and the option of central air, the new owners can enjoy nearly the quietest unit in the building.This condo is superbly managed by a live-in super and a conscientious board, and its discrete staff services all residents, from A-list celebrities to regular folks. The beautifully planted common roof deck provides panoramic views from downtown to midtown. Other amenities include a laundry room, storage, and bicycle room. Note that there is a $75/mo surcharge for air conditioning and an assessment of $116/mo through June 2017 to pay for already completed building improvements.You simply cannot do better than this in a West Village condo at anywhere near this price.
