A rare opportunity to own a beautifully renovated, investor-friendly pre-war residence in a meticulously maintained elevator building with a virtual doorman, live-in superintendent, and porter.
The building offers timeless architectural charm, including an elegant entry foyer with mosaic-tiled floors, marble walls, stained-glass windows, and classic marble staircases.
The apartment features soaring 9-foot ceilings, original parquet floors, exposed brick walls, and six north- and east-facing windows that bring in wonderful natural light. The thoughtfully designed chef’s kitchen is appointed with honed marble countertops, a Bosch stainless steel refrigerator, a Bosch dishwasher, and an imported Bertazzoni 4-burner gas range and oven.
A charming dining alcove includes custom-built-in banquette seating, a handcrafted industrial chandelier, and stained-glass window accents, creating a warm and distinctive entertaining space.
Quietly positioned at the rear of the building, the bedroom overlooks the tranquil garden courtyard. A custom queen-size Murphy bed with built-in dual armoires maximizes the space while offering excellent storage. The artistically inspired bathroom features a quartz countertop, a large mirrored medicine cabinet, a floating Porcelanosa toilet, a rain shower, Banksy-inspired graffiti tile, and a linen closet.
The apartment may be purchased fully or partially furnished.
The building’s rear courtyard is a peaceful oasis with natural plantings and provides access to a spacious laundry room and bike storage. Additional building upgrades include a new roof, new sidewalks, and new front and rear stairways. The building is financially sound and well cared for.
With a very liberal, condo-like sublet policy allowing unlimited and immediate subletting with a minimum one-year lease and no board approval, this is an exceptional opportunity for investors, pied-à-terre buyers, and end users alike.
Ideally located near Union Square, Washington Square Park, Little Island, Hudson River Park, the High Line, Chelsea Market, and the Meatpacking District, with multiple subway lines nearby. The 1/2/3 trains are just half a block away.
