Overview of Varitype Building at 2 Cornelia Street
2 Cornelia Street is a desirable prewar condominium in the heart of the West Village, between West 4th and Bleecker Streets. This turreted, wedge-shaped high-rise is one of Greenwich Village's few iconic landmarks and was immortalized in John Sloan’s 1922 painting The City From Greenwich Village, a celebrated work of the Ashcan School now housed in the National Gallery of Art. The painting captures the building's distinctive form against a luminescent downtown skyline, evoking the charm of an older New York City.
Converted into condominiums in 1982 by Robert and Roger Fisher, the 12-story building features large windows and minimal décor that emphasize its strong, triangular architecture. Amenities include full-time door attendants, a live-in resident manager, private storage, a newly renovated central laundry room, and a rooftop terrace with commanding 360-degree city views.
Located near the iconic Waverly movie theater and a historic basketball court, residents enjoy easy access to the area’s vibrant array of restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops, as well as landmarks like Washington Square Park, SoHo, and the Hudson River Greenway. Accessible subway lines include the 1, A, C, E, B, D, F, and M. The building is pet-friendly.

Carter’s Review
"This turreted, wedge-shaped tower is one of Greenwich Village's few high-rise landmarks and the subject of a famous painting by John Sloan, the Ash-Can School painter.
The 12-story building is in the right foreground of "The City From Greenwich Village," one of the most important paintings ever done of New York City and now in the collection of the National Gallery of Art."
