There are cеrtaіn Weѕt Villаgе ѕtreets that neеd nο іntrοductіon. Perry Street is one of them.
Set toward the quiet rear of a prewar elevator cooperative between Hudson and Bleecker, Residence B2 offers a private ground-floor setting with no stairs, no elevator wait, and peaceful courtyard greenery beyond its windows. Removed from the street, the apartment feels calm, intimate, and distinctly residential.
Its defining feature is the unusually intact prewar architecture. A broad barrel arch framed by fluted pilasters and dentil molding anchors the living room, while an original ceiling rosette, exposed white brick, high ceilings, hardwood floors, and built-in shelving give the home a depth of character increasingly difficult to find.
Originally configured as an oversized one-bedroom and later converted into a two-bedroom, the apartment offers a flexible layout. The larger bedroom retains original built-ins, while the fully enclosed second bedroom can also serve as a nursery, guest room, study, or dressing room.
The windowed kitchen has been updated with custom cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, gas range, dishwasher, and new appliances. The windowed bathroom is finished in classic white subway tile.
Above it all is the building's landscaped common roof deck, with teak decking, mature plantings, panoramic Downtown and Midtown views, and a clear sightline to the Empire State Building. It is a genuine extension of the home and a particularly special place to take in the city.
Residence B2 combines architectural distinction, practical flexibility, privacy, and one of the West Village's most desirable addresses-a quiet downtown home with a strong sense of place.
