A long, thoughtfully laid-out hallway offers exceptional storage, including a massive walk-in closet designed to satisfy all your organizational needs. Currently configured as a junior one-bedroom, the alcove provides a cozy cocoon for restful nights and features a charming home office nook or the perfect spot for a statement piece.

The kitchen is generously sized, and the bathroom-positioned at the rear of the apartment-enjoys incredible southern light all day long, with serene views overlooking the coops private lush, English-style garden. The home is move-in ready in its fantastical, artist-inspired state, or ripe for reimagining into your dream East Village retreat.
