Building: Stewart House

Incomparable. When you consider its superb location, amenities, services, comfort and style, the Stewart House literally has no equal. At 10th Street and Broadway, the building anchors the eastern end of Greenwich Village’s famed “Gold Coast.” It stands directly opposite Grace Church, one of the architectural jewels of the city, and just steps away from both Washington Square and Union Square, with its transportation hub and famed green market. Stewart House is right in the heart of the city’s thriving tech center, and within the top-ranked P.S. 41 school district.

A grand, circular porte cochere driveway (among the city’s first) leads to an elegant lobby that flows out into a beautifully landscaped rear courtyard, one of the largest private gardens in Manhattan. Erected in 1960, the 21-story Stewart House prides itself on being a premier, full-service building. It was designed by noted Manhattan architects Sylvan and Robert Bien, who were known for their generous use of space. Stewart House is one of only three luxury residences in the Village built as a co-op, featuring one- and two-bedroom apartments with gracious, 1,000-1,500 square foot layouts that provide exceptional closet space.

The long list of Stewart House amenities includes: 24-hour doormen, full-service fitness facilities, parking garage with direct building access, laundry facilities, children’s playroom, package room, private storage, bike storage, a live-in resident manager and a full-time, on-site property manager. Responsible financial management has enabled it to keep maintenance charges low while investing millions to improve quality of life and shareholder value. And there is one facet of life at the Stewart House that can’t be found on a balance sheet: the strong feeling of community, a sense of shared experience and connection that residents find, in a word, incomparable.
