Overview of 397 West 12th Street

397 West 12th Street is a 10-story, 4-unit condominium designed by Cary Tamarkin, located in the heart of the West Village. The building features a honey-colored brick façade with large multi-paned windows, reminiscent of the area's industrial past. Each unit boasts loft-like interiors, open layouts, and oversized casement windows, providing ample natural light and a sense of spaciousness. Residents enjoy proximity to the High Line, the Whitney Museum, and Hudson River Park, along with a vibrant selection of shopping and dining options.

The apartments are designed with a focus on modern living, offering features such as expansive living areas, private bedroom suites, and high-end finishes. Notable layouts include full-floor residences with generous square footage, custom kitchens equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, and luxurious bathrooms. The building also provides a 24 hour doorman and full-time superintendent, ensuring a high level of service for its residents.

Noteworthy is the architectural collaboration with interior architect Deborah Berke, who has crafted interiors that emphasize both elegance and functionality. The apartments include unique elements such as landscaped loggias, private service entries, and smart-home technology, enhancing the living experience. The building's boutique nature, with only a handful of residences, contributes to its exclusivity and appeal.
