Known as The Waverly Building, 147 Waverly Place was constructed in 1912 as a commercial loft building and converted to residential condominiums in 2006. Its distinctive footprint follows the oblique angle of its corner site, giving the building an unusual and memorable presence at the eastern edge of the West Village.
The building sits within a pocket of the Village that is surrounded by landmark blocks, quiet streets and a small park, a short walk from Washington Square Park and Sheridan Square. The residential conversion preserved the character of the original buff-brick structure while delivering full-service, loft-scaled homes.
As a boutique full-service condominium in a prime Village location, the building draws pricing consistent with converted early-20th-century loft product. Apartment-level values vary with floor, exposure and layout.
