BLUE is the iconic glass-cladded luxury condominium that redefined the Lower East Side skyline and kicked off a transformation that made this area of the L.E.S such a hip and coveted destination. At over 1,200 +/- sq. ft., this impeccably designed loft-like 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom home is flooded in floor-to-ceiling light through privacy-tinted windows. Gorgeous wood floors combined with designer fabric walls create a home that is as warm and inviting as it is stunning and modern. The chef's kitchen features professional stainless steel Viking appliances, white quartz countertops and backsplash, a convenient breakfast bar, wine fridge and garbage disposal. Other features include an in-unit Meile washer/dryer, custom lighting and a Bang & Olufsen high-end sound system. The 10 ft. ceilings and "wall of glass" creates the open, loft-like feel. Generous storage includes no less than 6 closets, including a walk-in closet in the primary suite. The bathrooms feature high-end fixtures, with a Zuma deep soaking tub in one and a glass-enclosed shower in the other. Separate deeded storage available. The visually striking Blue building, designed by acclaimed architect Bernard Tschumi, is also a GREEN building, being one of the first in New York City to incorporate state-of-the-art sustainable and energy efficient materials throughout. The developer has cleverly adopted and reused elements of the "old neighborhood" to combine it with the new: the space on top of a neighboring building becomes the breathtaking 8,000 sq. ft. planted roof deck, with awe-inspiring views of downtown Manhattan, spanning from the Freedom Tower to the Williamsburg Bridge. A second roof deck offers a more cozy, secluded area with two additional BBQ grills. Other features include full time doorman/concierge, superintendent, bike room, and cold storage for food deliveries. The neighborhood cannot be beat. The F, J, M and Z trains are just half a block away. Essex Street Market, New York City's most historic public marketplace is practically at your doorstep, as is one of New York City's trendiest restaurant quarter, with a dynamic pedestrian plaza. It includes what Women's Wear Daily described as “akin to what many say is how SoHo felt then: a little hamlet of unique shops set up by creatives looking to draw a like-minded community” combined with many of the city's trendiest eateries, cafes, art galleries, fashion boutiques, nightlife and more. Taxes shown factor in condo abatement for primary residence. Call to see this remarkable home in the one-of-a-kind Blue building in the city's most vibrant downtown neighborhood, today.
