THE TREE-HOUSE The top floor studio at 46 Commerce Street is on the prettiest block in the West Village; flanked by the historic Cherry Lane Theatre and the newly opened restaurant, Commerce Inn, from the owners behind Buvette and Via Carota. The perfect setting of the atelier perched in tree-house fashion is housed in an early 1800s 3-unit townhouse walk-up. The space commands notice with beautiful light streaming in from three exposures; north, east and west, overlooking the parade of leafy sun-lit treetops and collage-like array of west village facades and rooftops. Given this picturesque backdrop, the atelier captures the imagination in its most inspirational form, a perfect fit for a writer/artist, a retreat away from the bustle of the city. Leading to the top-floor space, the private stairwell with its windowed entry foyer provides a nice buer between the lower unit and the studio. The space includes 2 skylights, a north-facing windowed pantry, an all-in-one new washer/dryer, and a newly renovated windowed bathroom. Other features include wide plank oak floors, 12 angled beamed ceilings, exposed brick walls, and an amazing huge enclosed storage area. The self-managed financially sound coop has maintained low maintenance: $800.00 maintenance for Studio 5. Please call for related details and appointments for showing.
