295 East 8th Street, Unit 2/3E
Description
Located within the grand building at 295 East 8th Street, Apartment 2-3E covers the back south, east, and north sides of the second and third floors, guaranteeing abundant natural light all day long. The original charm of the building can be uncovered by delicately removing the existing sheetrock to reveal stunning Monk bond brickwork. And, just as we imagined, after removing a section of the ceiling, century old wooden joists were revealed, proving that the entire dropped drywall ceiling can be removed to add 17” of effective ceiling height on the lower level and 10” on the upper level.
Currently, the layout of the apartment is timeless yet understated. With some creative vision or under the guidance of one of New York’s most esteemed architects and designers, this unique “townhouse-y” space could be transformed into something truly extraordinary.
The lower level boasts a generously sized living area facing south with a wood-burning fireplace and a charming Juliet balcony enclosed by its original wrought iron railing. From here, you can take in views of St. Brigid’s Church and Tompkins Square Park – both steeped in rich history. The kitchen overlooks lush planted gardens and the elegant Christodora House on East 9th Street.
Moving up to the upper level of this duplex, you will find three comfortable bedrooms adorned with exposed brick walls, two more wood-burning fireplaces, arched windows, and original strip oak hardwood floors. There are two options for a primary suite, and the smallest of the three rooms has a charming playfulness to it that invokes a sense of childhood nostalgia, encouraging the imagination to smile.
Virtual staging images and an alternate floorplan offer just a glimpse of the endless possibilities that this incredible property holds – one of those quintessential East Village gems that beckons, “What secrets lie within these walls?” Don’t miss your chance to uncover those secrets and make this your home.
