The Margarita is a landmarked, five story rental building at 117 Waverly Place, a low rise pre-war walk up completed around 1900. Its 12 apartments sit between Sixth Avenue and Washington Square West, with the building's most distinctive layouts including duplexes and larger floor through homes that extend beyond the studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom mix.
The apartments retain period details such as high ceilings, hardwood or parquet floors, working fireplaces, large and floor-to-ceiling closets, and garden views. Larger layouts include three bedroom apartments that can be configured as four bedrooms, while a loft like studio and a four bedroom floor through apartment illustrate the range of scale within the compact building.
Renovated apartments have open kitchens with gas ranges, stainless steel appliances, dishwashers, granite counters, and in-unit washers and dryers. Fireplaces recur in the larger homes, with some apartments having multiple fireplaces, and layouts may include offices or studies, separate living and dining areas, and two full bathrooms.
The building has a live-in superintendent and is a few blocks from Washington Square Park, with Sheridan Square, Soho, Union Square, and the East and West Villages within walking distance. Pets are considered on a case by case basis.
