Overview of 78 Bedford Street

78 Bedford Street, also known as "The Star Condominium" and alternatively addressed as 27 Commerce Street, is a 5-story, 29-unit pre-war brick building situated on a coveted tree-lined corner in the heart of the West Village. Built in 1929 (though some sources indicate 1920) and converted to a condominium in 1985, this walk-up building has established itself as a fiscally sound building with exceptionally low carrying costs, making it an attractive option for both investors and residents.

The building's apartments showcase classic pre-war character with original hardwood floors, and exposed brick walls throughout many units. Most apartments feature windowed kitchens and bathrooms, with many units offering multiple exposures and picturesque views of treetops, gardens, and historic West Village townhomes. The top-floor units are particularly sought-after for their sun-drenched spaces and elevated neighborhood views. 

Building amenities include a live-in superintendent, on-site laundry facilities, bike storage, and access to a central resident courtyard. The board maintains flexible policies, permitting in-unit washer/dryer installation, central air conditioning systems, pets, and accommodating arrangements for gifting and subleasing. Located on what many consider one of the most desirable blocks in the West Village, residents enjoy immediate access to the neighborhood's renowned restaurants, galleries, and entertainment venues, while being within walking distance of multiple universities and major subway lines.
