Description
RESIDENCE Centrally located in the coveted Gold Coast of Greenwich Village and part of the 1880’s Portsmouth/Hampshire cooperative, this oversized one-bedroom residence offers a rare blend of scale, elegance, and timeless prewar charm. The cooperative is discreetly nestled along one of the Village’s most picturesque, tree-lined streets, surrounded by historic townhouses, and possessing an unmistakable sense of neighborhood character. This quintessential downtown New York residence is distinguished by two wood-burning fireplaces with classic marble mantels, rich hardwood floors, and oversized windows that frame and infuse this residence with plentiful light and a sense of warmth. A gracious entry foyer sets the tone for the home, leading you past a well-appointed kitchen and an inviting dining area—equally suited as a refined home office—before opening into a dramatic, oversized living room. Anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, this expansive space is ideal for both relaxed living and elegant entertaining. Bathed in natural light, the living room features south and west exposures and soaring 10-foot ceilings. Enchanting treetop views capture the essence of Village living with warm southern light streaming throughout the day and a hint of the top of the World Trade Center in the background. A 98-bottle wine refrigerator sits discreetly in one corner of the living room. The generously scaled bedroom is a serene retreat, offering dual exposures to the south and east, a second wood-burning fireplace, and a full wall of closets. A windowed bathroom with a deep soaking tub completes the home, providing a spa-like experience. A rare offering that embodies both the charm and sophistication of Greenwich Village living. BUILDING Built in 1883 by renowned architect Ralph Townsend, 50 West 9th Street is one of three Queen Anne style buildings that comprise the highly sought-after Portsmouth/Hampshire cooperative, a 54-unit enclave in the heart of Greenwich Village’s historic Gold Coast. Evoking the charm of a grand Parisian apartment house, this boutique prewar cooperative is centered around a striking glass and wrought-iron elevator framed by an elegant staircase—an architectural focal point that reflects the building’s rich heritage and timeless appeal. Residents are welcomed by a renovated lobby and enjoy the convenience of full-service living with a full-time doorman. Amenities include central laundry facilities, bicycle storage, and private storage (subject to availability). The building is also notably flexible, permitting in-unit washer/dryers with board approval, as well as pieds-à-terre, co-purchasing, and pets. 80% financing is allowed. 1% Flip Tax payable by Seller at closing. One may sublet for a total of two years total during your tenancy. Perfectly positioned amid the tree-lined streets and historic townhouses of Greenwich Village, the Portsmouth offers immediate access to some of downtown Manhattan’s most celebrated dining, shopping, and cultural destinations. Washington Square Park, Union Square, Flatiron, Chelsea, and SoHo are all just moments away, along with exceptional public transportation options spanning numerous subway lines. A rare opportunity to reside in a character-rich, full-service cooperative that seamlessly blends historic elegance with modern convenience in one of New York City’s most coveted neighborhoods.
