Overview of The Bakery Building at 42 West 13th Street

The Bakery Building is a 6 story, 36 unit prewar co-op located at 42 West 13th Street in Greenwich Village's coveted Gold Coast area between Fifth Avenue and Avenue of the Americas. Built in 1935 and converted to a co-op in 1981, this boutique elevator building has undergone extensive renovations over the years, with many original units combined to create larger, more luxurious spaces. The building is professionally managed by Wallack Management Company and features a live-in superintendent, central laundry facilities, bike storage, and welcomes pets and pied-à-terre ownership.

Apartments in the building typically feature 10 to 12 foot ceilings, hardwood floors, large windows, and many units boast private balconies or outdoor space. Several residences showcase exposed brick walls, custom built-ins, and extensive storage solutions. Notable recent renovations include high end finishes with premium appliances from Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele, along with custom millwork and designer details. Unit 5FG stands out as a particularly impressive example, combining two original apartments into an expansive two bedroom residence with 12 foot plus ceilings, custom cabinetry by TDS Woodcraft, and in-unit washer and dryer.

The building's prime Greenwich Village location provides residents with easy access to Washington Square Park, Union Square, and an abundance of restaurants, shopping, and cultural attractions. Transportation is exceptionally convenient with nearly every major subway line within walking distance, including the 4, 5, 6, L, N, Q, R at Union Square, and the A, C, E, F, M lines nearby. Heat and water are included in the maintenance fees, and the building permits co-purchasing, gifting, and guarantors on a case by case basis.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
