This Is How Much A Tiny Former Dorm Room Costs In NYC

WEST VILLAGE, NY — The tiny but charming 242-square-foot studio that once served as a dormitory for Hudson River dockworkers is on the market for $500,000, according to the property listing on Realtor.com.

Nestled on a sleepy, tree-lined portion of West 12th Street between Washington and Greenwich streets, the micro apartment is nicknamed "The Wee Cottage" by its current owners and is located within the landmarked Greenwich Historic District. The pad was once named Coolest Tiny Apartment in NYC by Refinery29.

Recently renovated, the shrunken space comes decked out with a built-in couch and murphy bed frame, a custom, built-in dining room table, an antique storage trunk that doubles as a coffee table and a folding kitchen island. The pad may be short on space but not on design flourishes with a slew of built-ins for storage and space-maximizing illusions such as white walls and vibrant lighting.

The cottage does not sacrifice high-quality finishes for space and includes a chefs kitchen with a stainless steel stove, a newly renovated bathroom with a sliding reclaimed barn door and a shower with a sunflower head. Large six-foot windows let in plenty of natural light and overlook a shared garden included in the co-op building.
