Perched above one of the most beautiful blocks in Greenwich Village's Gold Coast, Residence PHA at Windsor Arms is an exceptionally rare and enchanting one bedroom penthouse, distinguished by its glass roofed solarium, completely private planted terrace, and spectacular unobstructed southern and western views, including a direct view toward the Freedom Tower.
Tucked away on the top floor of one of the Village's most elegant prewar cooperative buildings, it is a private retreat above the city. Sunlight fills the apartment throughout the day, while the changing sky, glowing sunsets, and sparkling city lights create an everchanging backdrop from morning until night.
A gracious entry foyer opens into a warm and inviting living room, where a wood burning fireplace framed in hand glazed blue ceramic tile creates a natural gathering place. High ceilings, wide plank oak floors, and beautiful architectural details add warmth and character.
Beyond the living room is the heart of this extraordinary home: a beautiful steel and glass solarium filled with light and framed by sweeping city views. Opening directly onto the private terrace, it is an inviting home office, reading room, or simply a quiet place to sit with coffee and take in the ever-changing sky.
The completely private, lush terrace wraps around the apartment, offering unobstructed southern and western views with a direct, iconic view of the Freedom Tower. Bathed in sunlight throughout the day, the terrace becomes especially magical at sunset, when the western sky glows above the Manhattan skyline.
The thoughtfully designed kitchen is illuminated by a skylight and features crisp cabinetry, dark stone countertops, and a gas range, with a washer and dryer discreetly installed. The serene bedroom is lined with oversized windows overlooking the terrace greenery.
The windowed bathroom is finished with classic tile, a marble topped vanity, and a glass enclosed shower. Throughout the home, original character and thoughtful updates come together with an extraordinary sense of light, privacy, and romance.
Windsor Arms is a distinguished prewar cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, full time superintendent, laundry room, bike room, and private storage. Set on picturesque West 9th Street in the heart of Greenwich Village's Gold Coast, the building is moments from Washington Square Park, Jefferson Market Garden, multiple subway lines, and the neighborhood's beloved restaurants, cafés, shops, and galleries.
A home of truly exceptional rarity
