43 Clarkson Street Location Map

Overview of 43 Clarkson Street

43 Clarkson Street is a striking, red-brick building located in the West Village, originally constructed in 1900 and converted to condominiums in 2001. This six-story structure features only six large apartments, providing a sense of exclusivity and privacy. The building's architectural details include deeply inset windows and a cornice treatment that adds to its palazzo-like appearance. Historically, it has served various purposes, including as the Sunset Warehouse and the American Freight Lines Warehouse, before transitioning to residential use.

Notable residents have included artist Julien Schnabel, whose wife opened a linen store in the building in 1953. The apartments within 43 Clarkson Street are characterized by their spacious layouts and luxurious finishes. For instance, a three-bedroom unit boasts a 39-foot-long studio, a double-height great room, and a gourmet kitchen equipped with high-end appliances such as a Viking range and a Sub-Zero wine refrigerator.

The building offers modern amenities including a keyed elevator, voice intercom, and a pet-friendly policy. Each apartment is designed to maximize light and space, with many featuring high ceilings, large windows, and unique architectural elements that blend historic charm with contemporary luxury. The penthouses, in particular, stand out with expansive living areas and private outdoor spaces, making them some of the most sought-after residences in the area.

43 Clarkson Street is ideally situated near the Hudson River and Washington Square Park, providing residents with easy access to the vibrant culture, dining, and shopping that the West Village has to offer. This boutique condominium represents a unique opportunity to own a piece of New York City's architectural history while enjoying the comforts of modern living.
