The deluxe, windowed four fixture bathroom is luxuriously appointed with dual sinks with marble counter and built-in vanity, a large walk-in shower with Axor fixtures and marble bench, heated marble tile flooring, and a dedicated electric outlet for a Washlet Toto commode. Other highlights of this lovely home include its own small laundry room with Bosch Axxis washer and dryer, upgraded double pane windows, extra large coat closet and customized closet systems, restored original parquet oak flooring, beamed ceilings, and through-wall air conditioning. 170 Second Avenue is a majestic prewar jewel in the East Village with an extraordinary lobby featuring original terrazzo floors, brass chandeliers, Art Deco murals and a mahogany-paneled elevator. The lobby recently underwent a full restoration, and the building is impeccably maintained by a wonderful staff including 24 hour doorman, porters, and a live-in superintendent.
