136 Waverly Place 9C

Wake up in the heart of Greenwich Village — right across from the West Fourth Street station and just steps from Washington Square Park, NYU, and the neighborhood’s best shops, cafés, and nightlife. Perfectly centered between the East and West Sides, this location offers unmatched convenience and iconic Village charm.

A similar layout on the third floor sold for $1,825,000 in 2023 — and that home only looked across the street. Apartment 9C is on another level entirely, with open northern exposure from every room. Gaze at the Empire State Building, the Jefferson Market Library and Garden, and even the legendary Greenwich Village Halloween Parade right from your windows. From the soft glow of morning light to vivid evening skies, every room frames a constantly changing, breathtaking cityscape.

Apartment 9C has not been available in over 40 years. For decades, it was both home and art studio to Greenwich Village artist Ellen Levy, an internationally exhibited painter whose works have been shown in galleries around the world. Here, she painted, practiced ballet, hosted vibrant gatherings, and designed her chic, sophisticated belts — still coveted today on luxury resale platforms.

The current floor plan features a large living area, a spacious bedroom, and multiple closets to accommodate fashion needs for every occasion. The flexible layout lends itself to many possibilities — explore our floor plan tour to see the options. A deep pre-war soaking tub with a direct Empire State Building view adds a rare touch of luxury, while two entry doors enhance privacy and make this home truly distinctive. There’s even potential to expand closets or create a home gym, library, office, or multiple workspaces.

The pet-friendly building includes additional storage, a bike room, central laundry, a service elevator, and a warm, long-standing staff community. Many team members have been here for decades, knowing the building inside and out — always ready to handle anything with ease. Co-purchasers and guarantors are considered on a case-by-case basis.

It will take a long time for anyone to outgrow this home — and when you’re tempted to settle for another apartment, remember these views. Whether you’re looking for your forever home or want to enjoy New York City at its absolute best while you’re here, Apartment 9C is a truly exciting opportunity for someone who knows how to spot the good opportunities. Come see it for yourself — getting in is quick and easy, and the views will speak for themselves.
