Overview
<p> <strong>The Urban Treehouse at 165 Charles Street</strong></p> <p> </p> <p> A bold reimagining of luxury living, the Urban Treehouse at 165 Charles is an expansive and playful home that defies convention. Designed and built by No Architecture of New York City and completed just five years ago, this rare West Village residence is unlike anything else on the market.</p> <p> </p> <p> Chief Architect Andrew Heid describes the layout as a "matrix plan": a circular flow of rooms around a central hub that can be opened or closed at will-bedrooms and sleeping quarters at night, or offices and lounges during the day. This innovative configuration fosters both flexibility and connection, inviting a communal style of living that feels at once modern and deeply human.</p> <p> </p> <p> Spanning nearly 3,500 square feet, the residence encompasses three bedrooms, four and a half baths, a family room, two kitchens, and a soaring double-height living room. Here, a sculptural wooden "treehouse" spans the 22-foot-high volume, complete with two wings, a spiral stair, and netted seating suspended in air-a whimsical yet functional centerpiece designed for gathering, playing, and dreaming. Floor-to-ceiling glass offers direct views of the Hudson River and the Hudson River Esplanade, amplifying the sense of openness and wonder.</p> <p> </p> <p> Life at <strong>165 Charles Street</strong>, the celebrated Richard Meier-designed condominium, is seamless and discreet. Residents enjoy a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, and an array of curated amenities including a gym, pool, and screening room.</p> <p> </p> <p> Completing this offering are options for a large storage unit, a private wine cellar, and an adjacent 700-square-foot studio apartment-ideal as a guest suite, staff quarters, or a nearby home office.</p>

West Village
Overview of West Village
The West Village is the charming, bohemian heart of New York City. With its winding, off-grid streets, Federalist townhouses, and literary history, it is widely considered the most romantic neighborhood in Manhattan. For buyers seeking West Village Manhattan real estate, it offers a village-like atmosphere that feels miles away from the city grid.
Living in the West Village is intimate and stylish. It is a neighborhood of sidewalk cafes, jazz clubs, and hidden gardens. As a landmarked Manhattan NYC neighborhood, it has fiercely protected its low-rise scale and artistic soul.
Real Estate & Housing Market
The market for homes for sale in the West Village is famously expensive and low-inventory. It is dominated by historic brownstones and pre-war co-ops. A full townhouse here is a trophy asset.
New development is extremely limited due to landmark protections, making any available unit highly competitive. It attracts celebrities, writers, and finance professionals who want the "real" New York aesthetic.
Lifestyle & Community
The lifestyle in the West Village is European in pace. Residents spend hours at cafes like Sant Ambroeus and Via Carota. The nightlife is legendary but sophisticated, centered around piano bars and historic taverns.
The community is a mix of long-time residents who remember its bohemian days and newer, wealthier arrivals. Despite the wealth, it retains a quirky, neighborly vibe where people know each other.
Transportation & Accessibility
The West Village is served by the 1/2/3 trains at 14th St and Christopher St, and the A/C/E/L at 14th St. The W 4th St station is a major hub connecting nearly all lines (A, B, C, D, E, F, M).
It is one of the most walkable neighborhoods in the city, though the confusing street layout (where W 4th crosses W 10th) can baffle newcomers.
Parks, Schools & Amenities
Hudson River Park provides the neighborhood's backyard, with piers for lounging and jogging. The small, triangular parks like Abingdon Square are cherished local meeting spots.
Amenities are boutique-focused. You won't find many chains here; instead, you have independent bookstores, cheese shops, and some of the best Italian restaurants in America.
Who This Neighborhood Is Best For
The West Village is best for romantics, culture vultures, and buyers who want to live in the most picturesque, human-scale part of Manhattan.
