344 W 11TH Street #4W

A Rare Village Jewel - Views, Light, Character and Smart Design. This rarely available corner residence combines historic pre-war character with thoughtful modern design. Flooded with natural light from seven north- and west-facing windows, this architect-designed walk-up apartment offers treetop views of Julian Schnabel's Palazzo Chupi, the Westbeth artists' residence, and-just a block away-the sunsets, sailboats, and tugboats along the Hudson River. Soaring 10-foot ceilings with crown moldings, glass transoms, reclaimed hardwood floors, built-in bookcases, and a working wood-burning fireplace give the apartment an elevated yet cozy glamour. The windowed kitchen is outfitted with a Miele dishwasher, Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, Delonghi gas range, custom soapstone sink and counters, and gracefully arranged cabinetry. The elegant, classic bathroom includes an oversized shower and a stacked Bosch washer/dryer. There is ample storage throughout, including built-ins, a large walk-in closet, and a private floor-to-ceiling converted dumbwaiter in the hallway for your exclusive use. The apartment has been thoughtfully wired with custom lighting, dimmers, and well-placed outlets throughout. Coop members have private access to a large, shady, furnished shared garden-entered through a key-secured horse walk-as well as to an outdoor space (slated to be restored) with 360 views from downtown to the Hudson River and up to the Empire State Building. Located at the quiet, leafy corner of Washington and West 11th Street, this intimate five-story cooperative offers only two units per floor and a true neighborhood feel. Just one block from Hudson River Park-with its piers, tennis courts, and kayaking-and close to the High Line, Little Island, the Whitney Museum, and iconic West Village restaurants, cafés and jazz clubs. Currently configured as a one-bedroom with a bookcase-lined den/sleeping nook, the home can be easily reconfigured to its original two-bedroom layout.
