Unique opportunity to own over 2000sf condo duplex with your own private yard in the East Village. Gardeners, entertainers, and those simply yearning for your own private outdoor space, rejoice at the opportunity to have your piece of the suburban living right here in NYC where the East Village meets the Lower East Side. The private, direct access rear yard measures 750sf with raised patio and fully planted garden with mature mulberry and cherry trees and beautiful plantings.
#1B at 296 East 2nd Street has 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a recreation room, and home office spread out over two floors with 2089 interior square feet along with the aforementioned 750sf private yard.
Accessed either by a half flight of stairs, or via direct keyed elevator entry, the property is bright and quiet with a tremendous volume of space over a duplex floor through layout with dual north and south exposures, recessed lighting, multi-zone thermostatic PTAC heating/cooling, hardwood floors, washer/dryer in unit, an abundance of closets, and deeded storage in building.
The upper level features an oversized (measuring 15’+ x 18’+), north-facing living room with floor to ceiling glass doors which overlook the your own private garden oasis. Just off the living room is a cozy dining nook and a private secondary bedroom - perfect for a child’s room or home office - also with a north facing window. The chef’s kitchen and half bath separate the rear living room, dining area, and secondary bedroom from the master suite at front of the upper level. The pass-through kitchen has granite countertops and hardwood cabinets on both sides, it also features full-sized stainless steel appliances, including dishwasher and a large pantry closet. At the front of this level is the king-sized master bedroom, with three large closets and a wall of windows with open south sky overlooking East 2nd / Houston. The master bedroom also features an en-suite bathroom with ceramic tub, marble pedestal sink, recessed medicine cabinet, and finished in white subway tile.
The lower level of the property has a bonus home office/storage room, a wet bar/kitchenette, gas vented washer/dryer, and a nearly 300sf recreation room with a second ensuite full bathroom and walk-in closet. This lower level could function or serve multiple purposes: as kid’s playroom, entertainment floor/den, or even as a live/work usage as it has its own separate entry.
Unique to this condo property is that the 750sf rear yard is completely private and exclusive use of #1B . Accessed through sliding doors in the living room, one steps out onto a raised ceramic patio perfect for an outdoor dining table and grill. The irrigated garden, already planted with mature Mulberry and Cherry Blossom trees, is awaiting your green thumb and vision to create the lush and serene outdoor space of your dreams.
