704 Broadway, also known as The Dandy, is a 10-story residential loft condominium in Greenwich Village, located between West 4th Street and Washington Place, just two blocks west of Washington Square Park. Originally built in 1896 as The Dandy Hat Factory by the renowned architectural firm DeLemos & Cordes, who also designed Macy's Herald Square and other prominent buildings, the structure was later converted into full-floor condominium apartments by Arpad Baksa.
The building’s ornate design features arched windows on the third and top floors, large bay windows on the 4th through 6th floors, and recumbent nude sculptures over the 7th-floor windows. The ground level includes retail space, while the entrance is marked by an arched doorway flanked by elegant columns. The exposed rooftop water tank adds to the structure’s historic character.
Despite its robust historical charm, The Dandy offers modern conveniences such as superintendent service, video intercom, and laundry facilities, though it does not include a doorman, concierge, roof deck, or garage. The building allows pets and pied-à-terre use and provides storage facilities for residents.
Positioned near Washington Square Park, New York University, and an array of dining and boutique shopping options, The Dandy is a testament to the enduring appeal of Greenwich Village’s historic architecture, blending 19th-century grandeur with the vibrancy of modern city living.
