Property Details
Description
The Forward Building, aka 173-175 East Broadway, is a Beaux Arts Architectural Masterpiece. This property is located in one of the most beautiful landmark buildings in NYC, built in 1912, and converted in 2006 by the Lower East Side architect Ron Castellano in a contemporary design that pays homage to the historical landmark. Situated directly across from Seward Park, the converted luxury condominium 'skyscraper' remains a defining presence in this vibrant neighborhood.
This double height, light-filled duplex offers an ideal setting for both relaxed living and entertaining. An open great room, 2 bedroom, and 3 full bathroom layout is complemented by soaring, 20-foot ceilings, creating a dramatic living experience that feels like a townhouse within a full-service condominium. Both floors provide sizable bedrooms, smart design and access to the great room. An adjoining, open-concept kitchen is well-equipped for any chef and host looking to prepare for casual entertaining with a relaxed and easy eat-in banquette extending right off the kitchen. From the moment you arrive, the effortless flow of space is immediately apparent, achieving an exceptional level of versatility throughout the home. A bathroom is located on each level, making the floor plan very conducive for day-to-day living.
Situated in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the downtown area, the 29 unit, pre-war conversion offers residents amenities that include a 24-hour doorman, refrigerator storage in lobby for perishable deliveries, a video-intercom system, central laundry, basement storage cages and wine refrigerator, and bike racks. A rooftop deck showcases spectacular views of Seward Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, Lower East Side, The Empire State Building, midtown and all of downtown Manhattan. This dramatic duplex is a rare offering of pre-war pedigree and a flexible modern lifestyle.
