Carter's Review
The distinctive, 8-story Rambusch Building at 40 West 13th Street in Greenwich Village was occupied by the Rambusch Design Studio, which made stained glass and also worked on the interiors of the Roxy Theater on 50th Street, from 1898 to 1999.
The building was converted to 7 condominium apartments by Affirmative Equities of 120 Wooster Street and the conversion was designed by David B. Culter of Hustvedt Culter Architects.
It is a little east of the very impressive Jade Hotel on the block and there are many restaurants in the vicinity and good public transportation.
Bottom Line
This building’s narrow frontage of 13th Street belies its wedge-shape and the sizable dimensions of most of its full-floor loft apartments.
Description
The building has a Gothic-style entrance with a large, double-height arched entrance overpowering a small glass-door entrance beneath three arched windows on the second floor.
The building’s angled plan stems from its historic location next to Minetta Brook.
Amenities
The building has a doorman, a fitness center, a laundry room and it permits pets.
Apartments
The 6th floor apartment is a three-bedroom unit that has a 12-foot-long entry foyer that leads to an 18-foot-long windowed and angled dining area near the 20-foot-long open kitchen with an island and the 18-foot-long living room. Two of the corner bedrooms are angled.
Apartment 2 is a three-bedroom unit with a 47-foot-long living/dining area, a 14-foot-long windowed, pass-through kitchen and a 21-foot-long angled library.
