A truly once-in-a-lifetime offering in Greenwich Village, just one block from Washington Square Park – the only full-floor residence in the building and one of the most extraordinary loft conversions ever offered in this historic district. Residence 5EW at 173 MacDougal Street was created through the seamless combination of two apartments and gut-renovated to the studs, resulting in an expansive, luminous home of approximately 4,635 square feet.

The interiors were designed by Betty Wasserman.

A private keyed elevator opens directly into a gracious reception gallery, introducing a residence that masterfully balances architectural drama with everyday livability.

The Great Room & Architectural Presence

A breathtaking 40′ 25′ Great Room anchors the home, defined by five oversized windows, including three dramatic arched windows that create a uniquely striking architectural aesthetic. The living and dining areas benefit from double-corner exposure with North, South, East, and West light, bathing the space in natural sunlight throughout the day and offering sweeping Village and skyline views.

Layout & Bedrooms

The residence offers four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and one powder room, with every bedroom featuring its own en-suite bath, ensuring privacy and comfort for family and guests.

The 30′ 15′ primary suite is a private retreat, complete with a gas fireplace, open sunset views, and a private balcony ideal for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The spa-inspired primary bath features slab marble finishes, radiant heated floors, dual vanity, soaking tub, and a steam shower, creating a true wellness sanctuary.

Media, Kitchen & Service

A dedicated den/media room with a wet bar area provides a refined yet comfortable secondary gathering space, ideal for entertaining or relaxed evenings at home.

The handcrafted English kitchen by Smallbone of Devizes is outfitted with Sub-Zero refrigeration, Wolf cooking appliances, and two Miele dishwashers – designed for serious culinary execution.

A fully equipped and incredibly convenient separate laundry room enhances functionality, a rare luxury in loft living

Infrastructure & Modern Systems

The residence was completely re-engineered with state-of-the-art systems, including:

• Radiant heated floors throughout the entire apartment
• Full Crestron smart-home system controlling sound, lighting, and climate
• In-ceiling speakers
• Museum-quality art lighting
• Integrated climate zones

Built circa 1890 and converted to luxury condominium in 2008, 173 MacDougal is a boutique doorman building that marries historic architecture with contemporary refinement.

To own a true full-floor, 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath condominium loft of this scale within one block of Washington Square Park is extraordinarily rare. In a neighborhood defined by smaller floor-through residences and co-ops, Residence 5EW stands alone in size, privacy, architectural presence, and design pedigree.

A Greenwich Village trophy property – singular, irreplaceable, and virtually impossible to replicate.
