704 Washington Street, Unit GA, West Village

There are apartments that put you in the West Village, and then there are apartments that give you a little piece of it all to yourself. This generously proportioned one-bedroom pairs the character and intimacy of downtown living with something increasingly rare in Manhattan: a large private garden just outside. Inside, high ceilings give the home an immediate sense of volume, while lovely natural light softens the rooms throughout the day. The living space is comfortable enough for both a proper seating area and dining, and the well-scaled bedroom offers the kind of breathing room that can be surprisingly difficult to find in a West Village one-bedroom. But it is the garden that changes everything-an outdoor room for morning coffee, dinner with friends, an afternoon with a book, or simply the luxury of opening the door and stepping outside. And then there is the neighborhood. Step outside and the West Village unfolds in every direction: tree-lined streets, historic townhouses, neighborhood cafés, destination restaurants, independent shops and some of the most beloved corners of New York. It is the kind of location where weekends rarely require a plan and the best of downtown Manhattan feels like an extension of home. For a first-time buyer, a couple looking for more space, or anyone who has been waiting for a West Village home with something truly special, this is a compelling opportunity. A reasonable co-op board, and low monthlies, add to the appeal . High ceilings, beautiful light, generous proportions and a private garden in the heart of the Village, a combination that is difficult to replicate at any price.
