Overview of 42 East 12th Street

42 East 12th Street is a 1900 pre war condominium in Greenwich Village organized as an intimate collection of six apartments over seven floors. Its defining character is the loft format, with full floor residences and upper level homes that pair open layouts with preserved details such as exposed brick and original tin ceilings.

Across the apartments, the spatial vocabulary includes high ceilings, oversized windows, skylights, and north, south, or east exposures. Direct keyed entry, central air conditioning, in unit laundry, and private storage are recurring features, while the apartments range from adaptable classic lofts to thoroughly renovated homes with separate bedroom wings.

The building has a common roof garden one level above the residences, planted with an apple tree and blueberry bushes. Renovation work in the building has been associated with Vicente Wolf and Satomi of Yoshida and Zanon Design Atrium. Each of the six owners also holds an equal share of the ground floor retail space.

On East 12th Street between University Place and Broadway, the condominium sits next to the Strand bookstore and close to NYU, Union Square Park, Washington Square Park, the Union Square Greenmarket, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, restaurants, cinemas, and neighborhood food shops. The setting places the building at the intersection of Greenwich Village’s residential blocks, cultural institutions, and daily conveniences.
