Actor, writer and comedian Louis C.K. is the newest contributor to the co-op lifestyle of this Manhattan building. Lucky Louie paid $3.9 million for the Greenwich Village property; according to listing information, the unit hadn’t been offered for sale in 40 years when he acquired it.

The building dates to 1927, and is a landmark-designated address with Art Deco architecture. The four-bed, three-bath unit is bright, warm, a touch cerebral and easygoing. Parquet oak, bright white walls and ceilings, prewar ceiling beams, and an abundance of built-in and freestanding bookshelves distinguish the property, a combination unit of two apartments converted decades ago.

The heart of the home is the combination living room, dining room and kitchen, an ebullient space with a counter backsplash in black-and-white check tile and four oversized windows offering a city panorama and abundant natural light. One of the bedrooms has been converted into a creative workspace.
