A romantic roof deck atop this $1M Village garret brings you sunshine, moonlight and views

The penthouse at 71 Washington Place may be petite, but it gives you the best of several enviable worlds, starting with Greenwich Village townhouse living. The co-op studio’s interiors are freshly-renovated with plenty of charm and good taste. Best of all, top-floor status gives you a nice, big private rooftop paradise from which to gaze out over the city below. It’s asking just about $1 million.

Tucked into the top floor of a townhouse next to Washington Square Park, this little aerie makes good use of a small space, and looks good doing it. Perfect as a pied-a-terre, the co-op has perks–like huge walk-in-closet and an amazing roof deck–that make up for its lack of square footage.

A sleek grey wool sofa opens to a full-sized Murphy bed and folds back up to its crisp seating self; it also features lighting, outlets and a coffee/tea nook. The apartment’s entryway provides enough space to use it as a dressing room, with closets and a washer/dryer keeping your wardrobe shipshape. A stylish and well-equipped kitchen has marble countertops, a subzero fridge and freezer, dishwasher, microwave, convection oven and cooktop and plenty of storage.

But the real beauty lies on an even higher plane: A custom stair leads to a large, lovely, landscaped private roof terrace with spectacular New York City views that stretch from Washington Square Park to the Empire State building and beyond.
