his stunning Greenwich Village residence, nestled within the historic Peace Church at 135 W. 4th St., has been reduced to $2.95 million from its original ask of $3.29 million in March. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom aerie boasts an impressive 2,033 square feet and features original stained-glass doors and windows.
Built in 1860 as a Methodist church, the Novare building stands on the corner of Washington Square Park, earning its name for supporting Vietnam War protesters, the Black Panthers, and GMHC. The residence has been home to notable residents including Jude Law, Steven Van Zandt, and Noémie Lenoir.
The sunlit interior is a sight to behold, with rich colors and an open eat-in chef's kitchen. A large living area overlooks an original stained-glass centerpiece, while the spacious loft features two separate entertaining spaces connected by a 41-foot-long central gallery with a stunning wall of stained-glass windows.
"This home stands out among the others in the building," says Krista Nickols of Serhant, who shares the listing. "Its unique character, originality, and craftsmanship make it ideal for someone looking for something truly one-of-a-kind."
The main bedroom boasts a charming bay window, separate dressing room with walk-in closet, and an ensuite spa-like bathroom featuring stained-glass details. The sellers, Sabrina and Ramsey Smith, have fond memories of raising their family in the building, playing in Washington Square Park and being at the heart of Greenwich Village.
The church was converted into eight condos in 2006, making this residence a rare find in one of New York's most iconic neighborhoods.
