Charles Street — The Name
The street was named after Charles Christopher Amos, who owned the parcel the street passed through. Amos is also the namesake of Christopher Street, two blocks to the south, and the former Amos Street, which is now West 10th Street.
A Quirky Street Geography
From 1866 to 1936, the section of Charles Street between Bleecker Street and West 4th Street — right where 88 Charles sits — was actually called Van Ness Place, named after a farm owned by the Van Ness family that had occupied that square block until 1865.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
88 Charles is a landmarked brick brownstone of five stories, and this third-floor co-op keeps that historic character inside. The living room has high ceilings and a leafy view of brownstones and townhouses.
The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, including a Bertazonni oven and range and a dishwasher, plus a washer and dryer combo, so laundry is inside the apartment. In-unit laundry is one of the everyday conveniences I'd rank high in New York because it removes the errand entirely. I like the white Caesarstone countertops against the custom walnut and white lacquer cabinets, since the warm wood keeps the room from feeling stark.
The bathroom has white Bianco Dolomiti tile flooring, Axor Hansgrohe faucets and an enclosed glass shower. The bedroom faces the back and fits a full or queen bed, and there are windows in every room.
The building is part of the 84-88 Charles Street Owners Corp., a two-building, 45-unit co-op, and it has a bike room. Cats and dogs are allowed. Co-purchasing, gifting and subletting are handled case by case, so it's worth asking early how those would apply to your plans.
The 1 train at Christopher St-Stonewall is about 3 minutes on foot, and the W 4 St-Wash Sq station, which serves several lines, is about 6 minutes away. D'Agostino is about 6 minutes away, and Washington Square Park is about 9 minutes. The Hudson River is about 0.3 miles west.
