Description

HUGE PRIVATE ROOF DECK WITH AMAZING CITY VIEWS - 1 BED PLUS HOME OFFICE/EXTRA ROOM & 2 FULL BATHS IN THE HEART OF THE EAST VILLAGE Spacious and beautifully renovated, this 1090 sq ft one bedroom apartment features a large home office that functions as a second bedroom. The open concept living space features a large open kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a separate dining area, and an inviting living space - all framed by a wall of windows and two skylights which bring in tons of natural light. The primary bedroom is a full 20' long and has a large walk in closet with charming windowed glass doors. Above the walk-in is a huge storage area for those less often used items. The primary bathroom is en-suite and is also home to your own vented washer/dryer. The 1013 extra room is perfect for guests or working from home. There is central air conditioning throughout. The highlight of this beautiful home is the 530 sq ft private room terrace! Accessible from a staircase directly off the living room, this incredible space offers 360 views of the city yet offers a feeling of seclusion and privacy. Fully finished with wood decking, bamboo fencing, water & electricity, it is truly an oasis. Welcome to the nexus of New York, steps from tony Soho, Chinatown, Little Italy, Ukrainian Village and the revitalized Essex Market. Eat, drink and be merry, then escape from traffic noise in this cozy top floor apartment with your own private terrace. No worries if you forgot something at nearby Whole Foods or Trader Joe's - Union Market is right downstairs. The M14 Bus stops out front, the M and F trains are a three-minute walk, if you can resist a detour to one of the neighborhood's craft coffee shops. Originally built in 1920 and comprised of four separate buildings later combined, this 5 story prewar elevator building has original details and classic New York charm in addition to a video intercom system.
