Description

Stunning, southern, cityscape views-including Jefferson Market Library and One World Trade--from this spacious alcove studio place all who enter firmly in the heart of the Greenwich Village Historic District.

An entry with three closets and space for a desk lead to the expansive, open living area, which allows for substantial living and dining furniture as well as shelving or simply a gallery wall. Separated by louvred doors, the classic galley kitchen has a built-in storage pantry.

The windowed bedroom alcove, with its own through-wall air conditioning unit, leads to a dressing room with a closet and space for a dresser or armoire, then on to the tiled bathroom with tub and European-style shower.

A splendid rooftop garden with 360-degree views of New York City is available for use by all residents of Lawrence House. Other building amenities are renovated lobby seating, two elevators, laundry room, bicycle storage, community room/children's playroom and 24-hour doorman service. Pets are welcome case by case.

Lawrence House makes its home in the heart of Greenwich Village just a few blocks away from the social hubs of Washington Square Park and Union Square. The most local green space is the peaceful Jefferson Market Garden, and it is only a short journey to the High Line and the Meatpacking District. Iconic cultural destinations include Film Forum, Village Vanguard, The Public Theater and The Strand Bookstore.

Residents enjoy easy access to Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, the Union Square Greenmarket, Murray's Bagels and Sammy's Noodle Shop and Grill for casual dining. Local Michelin-starred restaurants include Kosaka, Nix, Blue Hill and Gotham Bar and Grill. Nearby fitness options include McBurney YMCA, Planet Fitness, Equinox, New York Sports Club Lab, CITYROW and SoulCycle.

Conveniently located near Parsons School of Design, Joffrey Ballet School, Pratt Institute School of Information, Cardozo Law School and the main campus of New York University, Lawrence House residents are also served by the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, F, L, M, N, Q, R and W trains.
