Situated in the heart of the West Village between West 4th Street and Waverly Place, this beautifully appointed home exudes the warmth and character that define quintessential downtown living. Step through an entry foyer into a sun-flooded, perfectly laid-out oasis.

The kitchen is efficiently designed for both charm and utility, boasting ample counter space and copious cabinetry.

The windowed bathroom features beautiful subway-tiled walls and classic pre-war fixtures, while beautiful hardwood floors and central air conditioning complete this comfortable home. Established as a cooperative in 1985, 29 Perry Street is an intimate, pet-friendly building with just two apartments per floor, ensuring a quiet, boutique lifestyle. Residents enjoy excellent basement amenities, including free laundry facilities, bike storage, and extra-large private storage cages. The co-op permits up to 80% financing and considers pied-à-terre ownership on a case-by-case basis. Living at 29 Perry means owning a piece of New York history. Originally built in 1871, the building was purchased in the 1920s by the neighboring Church of St. John the Evangelist to preserve the neighborhood's residential integrity. The church transformed the surrounding tenement buildings into "St. John's Colony"-a haven designed specifically for artists and creatives. The building's entrance, lobby, and intimate two-unit-per-floor layout established during the Roaring Twenties remain beautifully intact to this day, preserving a true legacy of distinction and charm.
