Overview of 163 Charles Street

Located in the heart of the West Village, 163 Charles Street is an 8-story residential building designed by Daniel Goldner Architects. Originally commissioned by art dealer Kenny Schacter and intended to be a project by renowned architect Zaha Hadid, the site was ultimately developed into a modern structure that complements the nearby works of Richard Meier. The building features a clean, contemporary design with floor-to-ceiling windows and a distinctive Mondrianesque-pane pattern.

The building houses three residential units on the top six floors, including a single-floor apartment, a duplex, and a triplex, along with commercial space on the ground and second floors. Notable for its two duplex apartments and a triplex, the residences offer luxurious amenities such as private keyed elevator access, expansive balconies, and high-end finishes throughout.

Each apartment is designed for modern living, featuring top-of-the-line appliances from brands like Sub-Zero and Gaggeneau, radiant heated flooring, and automated systems for lighting and climate control. The residences boast stunning views of the Hudson River and the surrounding cityscape, making them ideal for both entertaining and comfortable living.

While the building has not been associated with any specific celebrities, its location in the West Village places it among a neighborhood known for its artistic and cultural significance. The building's unique architectural style and luxurious offerings make it a noteworthy addition to the evolving landscape of New York City real estate.
