201 W 16th St, Unit 9A New York, NY 10011

Perched on the ninth floor of a classic Art Deco cooperative, this two-bedroom, two-bath pre-war residence offers a quiet, confident sense of elegance. From the moment you enter the gracious foyer, the home opens into a corner living room with high beamed ceilings, original strip oak floors, and generous proportions that easily accommodate both daily life and formal dining. The kitchen, thoughtfully reimagined by its architect-artist owner, strikes a smart balance of beauty and utility with high-end appliances, sleek built-ins, and a west-facing bistro nook perfectly placed to catch the glow of the setting sun over the Hudson. Both bedrooms are spacious and serene, split up on the floor plan and a nod to an era when homes were designed with room to breathe. Original prewar details remain throughout, including vintage subway tile and classic black-and-white mosaic floors in both bathrooms one of which is blessed with a rare west-facing window. New double-paned casement windows enhance the tranquility, while abundant closets make daily living feel effortlessly composed. With triple exposures to the west, south, and north, the layout is suffused in light from every angle. The building is a well-tended prewar classic, featuring a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, bike storage, laundry, and a wood-paneled elevator that feels like a Manhattan time capsule in the best possible way. This is the kind of apartment that rarely comes to market not just well-located, but well-made. Please note: Pets are permitted, and pied-a-terre and co-purchases are case by case.
