This delightful home has been artfully reimagined through an extraordinary renovation. Storage abounds through detailed custom millwork that helps shape this unique residence. The living room connects to the second bedroom through ingenious 10’ sliding walls, making for a spectacular grand living space (complete with built-in couch!) when the second bedroom is not in use. Beyond the distinct dining area is the spacious, windowed open kitchen that boasts black soapstone counters and backsplash with breakfast bar and drainage grooves, oversized white ceramic sink with KWC faucet, Insinkerator waste disposal, and ample custom wood cabinetry. Top of the line stainless steel appliances include Sub Zero refrigerator, Bosch range and 5 burner cooktop, and Bosch dishwasher.
The spacious primary bedroom also features plentiful built-in cabinetry, and faces west with extraordinary protected views over St. Mark’s Church. The adjacent windowed grand bathroom shimmers with opalescent mosaic Bisazza tile floors and walls, Waterworks fixtures and steam shower/wetroom with 5.5’ soaking tub. The hallway millwork conceals plentiful additional storage space and a Miele washer and dryer.
Concealed thru wall air-conditioning in the living room and both bedrooms, wide plank quarter-sawn white oak flooring, lacquer painted beams, and custom green, gold, and silver foiling on walls and ceilings throughout add to the allure of this unique offering.
170 Second Avenue is a majestic prewar jewel in the East Village with an extraordinary lobby featuring original terrazzo floors, brass chandeliers, Art Deco murals and a mahogany-paneled elevator. The lobby recently underwent a full restoration, and the building is impeccably maintained by a wonderful staff including 24 hour doorman, porters, and a live-in superintendent. Features include central laundry, storage and bike rooms. It is located across the street from historic St. Mark’s Church, and is near fantastic restaurants, Union Square, Astor Place, Tompkins Square Park and plentiful public transportation.
