Listing Notes

IN CONTRACT There is a certain kind of New York apartment that asks nothing of you. This is that apartment. A one-bedroom on Charles Street landmarked, walk-up to the top floor, circa 1880 where the light comes in without apology and the rooftops stretch out in every direction like a fact you had forgotten about the city. Located on the penthouse level -Unit 5D -with not a soul above you admire that the quiet is genuine, the ceiling height generous, and the retro sun-kissed window bath with tub and cozy bedroom oozes with charm. The updated windowed kitchen is quite functional and replete with a great Bertazzoni gas range and intelligent storage. The co-op is liberal enough to allow for a washer/dryer and dishwasher with approval. Please note that the listing has some virtually staged photos(2 living room and 1 bedroom pic) to help imagine the potential ALL SHOWINGS INCLUDING OPEN HOUSES BY APPOINTMENT ONLY Key Features & Amenities Top-floor location with high ceilings and abundant natural light Rooftop views from every room Classic railroad layout with excellent flow Thoughtfully renovated kitchen with stylish storage Living room with space for small dining area Two hall closets for ample storage Washer/dryer allowed for future buyer Pet-friendly building Pied- -terre friendly -Low monthly maintenance -Pristinely Quiet -Sublets allowed after only one year 3 out of every 5 years. Building Information 88 Charles Street is a lovely 5-story landmarked brick brownstone built circa 1880 as part of the two-building, 45-unit 84-88 Charles Street Owners Corp. The building at 88 Charles has 20 apartments across 5 stories, maintaining its historic charm while providing comfortable modern living. Location & Neighborhood Located on one of the most idyllic blocks in not only the coveted West Village but all of Manhattan, 88 Charles Street offers an unparalleled living experience in one of New York City's most desirable neighborhoods. Tree-lined, historic streets with charming brownstones World-class dining, cafes, and boutique shopping Hudson River Park and waterfront access nearby Proximity to multiple subway lines (1, 2, 3, A, C, E) Cultural landmarks including Washington Square Park and the Meatpacking District. Safe, vibrant community atmosphere Charles Street The Name The street was named after Charles Christopher Amos, who owned the parcel the street passed through. Amos is also the namesake of Christopher Street, two blocks to the south, and the former Amos Street, which is now West 10th Street. A Quirky Street Geography From 1866 to 1936, the section of Charles Street between Bleecker Street and West 4th Street right where 88 Charles sits was actually called Van Ness Place, named after a farm owned by the Van Ness family that had occupied that square block until 1865. One has to wonder, is this the one?
