Nestled in the heart of the East Village, this generously sized 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers the perfect combination of flexibility, space and location—with the added bonus of being easily convertible to a 3-bedroom. Whether you're looking to create a dedicated home office, nursery, or guest room, the oversized living space gives you the layout options rarely found in this price point.
Situated on the top floor of a well-kept, investor-friendly coop, the apartment is pin-drop quiet and shares no walls with neighboring units. From the moment you enter, you’re greeted with an expansive living/dining area, ideal for entertaining or simply spreading out. A flexible bonus space easily accommodates a third bedroom or private workspace without sacrificing the open feel.
The windowed kitchen features black marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a new in-unit washer/dryer. Both bedrooms easily fit king-sized beds and face east for fantastic natural light all day long. The two bathrooms (one en-suite) offer Kohler fixtures, Toto toilets and are windowed.
The building welcomes pets, allows co-purchasing, gifting, and parents buying for children, and is overseen by a full-time superintendent.
