25 Charles Street

Overview of 25 Charles Street

25 Charles Street is a prewar co-op built in 1911 on one of the West Village's most desirable tree lined blocks, between Waverly Place and West 4th Street. The seven story walk up contains 28 units and features a live-in superintendent, video intercom, bicycle room, private storage, and a landscaped common courtyard. The building's renovated mosaic tiled lobby and hallways, along with windowed staircases, make the walk up experience more pleasant than typical.

Apartments retain classic prewar character with 9 foot ceilings, hardwood or oak floors, transom windows, exposed brick, and original moldings and paneling. Windowed kitchens and bathrooms are common throughout the building, as are multiple exposures offering south facing light and views of townhouse gardens and tree canopies. Many units feature open kitchens, French doors, and built in storage, while washer/dryer installation is permitted. Layouts range from one bedrooms to three bedrooms, with several units offering flexible configurations including home offices or convertible spaces. The building occasionally offers sponsor units, which provide the rare advantage of no board approval.

The co-op maintains notably flexible policies, permitting pets, subletting after two years of ownership, pied-à-terre purchases, co-purchasing, gifting, and parents buying for children. Located in the heart of the West Village, the building sits blocks from Hudson River Park, Washington Square Park, the Whitney Museum, and the Highline, with easy access to multiple subway lines including the 1, A/C/E, B/D/F/M, and PATH trains. The surrounding neighborhood offers acclaimed restaurants like Via Carota, I Sodi, and Buvette, along with convenient shopping at Gourmet Garage, Citarella, and Trader Joe's.
