Look out on the best of the West Village from the terrace of this $4.5M penthouse

From atop a covetable Bing and Bing building at 302 West 12th Street, the view from this charming penthouse condo is elevated even more by a sprawling wrap-around terrace. Asking $4,500,000, the one-bedroom home is a classic Village gem, and it’s on the market for the first time since the iconic 1931 building was converted to condos in 1986.

The 782-square-foot one-bedroom penthouse may not be vast, but its place in one of New York City’s most desirable neighborhoods–and the neighborhood and city views from its windows–make the compact space worth a premium.

A recent renovation has blessed the apartment with designer details and contemporary comforts, adding to the pre-war charms of high, beamed ceilings, solid plaster walls, and gracious proportions.

The galley kitchen boasts a jaunty angle, with striking marble surfaces and high-end appliances. Off the living room, the home’s wrap-around private terrace introduces mesmerizing views from all sides.

Pre-war details like a gracious entry hall and classic arches meet design details like subdued graphic wall covering in the bedroom and pale white walls. There are two extra-large closets in the main space and one in the bedroom for keeping clutter behind closed doors.

In what is arguably one of the most charming corners of the West Village, this full-service residence is steps from Abingdon Square Park. Amenities include a 24-hour doorman, a live-in resident manager, and a landscaped common roof deck.
