Der Waverly, 136 Waverly Pl, 15 C West Village, New York

Fifteen floors above the cobblestone streets and historic rooftops of the West Village, Residence 15C at The Waverly captures a perspective of downtown Manhattan that is increasingly rare. Six oversized, French-paned windows frame sweeping views across the Village skyline, from the iconic clock tower of the Jefferson Market Library to the Empire State Building and beyond. The result is a home filled with natural light, architectural character, and a distinctly New York sense of place.

A gracious entry foyer introduces the home, opening into a generously scaled living and dining room where the city views take center stage. The separate, windowed eat-in kitchen offers its own charming outlook and the opportunity to reimagine the layout by opening it to the adjoining living space. Four substantial closets provide an exceptional amount of storage, while the thoughtful separation of rooms creates a natural sense of privacy throughout.

Tucked away from the main living areas, the oversized bedroom enjoys the same remarkable light and views, with generous proportions that easily accommodate a king-sized bed and additional furnishings. The windowed bathroom is finished with classic subway tile, basketweave floors, and a marble vanity, in keeping with the apartment’s prewar character and charm.

Built in 1928, The Waverly is one of the neighborhood’s established prewar cooperatives, and Residence 15C retains much of the charm that defines this era of architecture. High beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, elegant crown moldings, and beautifully proportioned rooms lend the apartment a sense of history and warmth.

The Waverly is a distinguished full-service cooperative featuring a newly renovated lobby, 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, and laundry facilities. Located on a picturesque stretch of Waverly Place between Sixth Avenue and Grove Street, the building sits in the heart of one of Manhattan’s most storied neighborhoods. Washington Square Park, the boutiques of Bleecker Street, intimate neighborhood restaurants, and beloved local cafés are all just outside the door. It is a setting that captures what makes the West Village so enduringly special, where historic architecture, winding streets, and the energy of downtown New York come together.
