Description

Welcome to 85 8th Avenue, a well-appointed co-op building ideally located at the intersection of Chelsea, the West Village, and the Meatpacking District. This spacious residence offers a rare combination of modern convenience, flexible living, and private outdoor space, all set within one of Manhattan's most vibrant neighborhoods.

Inside, this oversized corner one-bedroom is filled with natural light from its north and east exposures, offering open city views, including a glimpse of the Empire State Building. The layout is highly adaptable and could be easily reconfigured into a two-bedroom if desired. The open layout transitions effortlessly into a spacious living and dining area, offering plenty of room for both a comfortable seating arrangement and a dedicated home office.

The renovated, windowed kitchen is filled with abundant natural light, complemented by recessed lighting, and features stainless steel appliances, including a gas stove and dishwasher. The apartment features a spacious primary suite with three custom closets, a dressing area, and a renovated bathroom with a spa-like bathtub. The private terrace offers a peaceful escape, ideal for morning coffee, an herb garden, or a cozy sitting nook.

The Thomas Eddy is a full-service building with a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, on-site garage, bike room, and laundry on every floor. Residents enjoy the lushly landscaped courtyard with multiple seating areas, adding a touch of tranquility to city life. The hallways have just been beautifully redone, laundry rooms will be renovated soon, and there are currently no assessments in place. Laundry rooms are on every floor.

Guarantors are welcome, and unlimited subletting is permitted after just one year of ownership. With CitiBike at your doorstep and the A, C, E, L, and 14th Street crosstown bus steps away, the entire city is within easy reach.

This is a rare opportunity to enjoy flexible co-op living in one of downtown Manhattan's most desirable locations.
