176 BROADWAY #12E

Most of the building enters on Broadway. You won't. Residence 12E belongs to the E-line: the only line with its own private entrance behind the building on quiet Maiden Lane, where a keyed elevator carries you directly into the apartment itself. No lobby small talk, no shared corridor, no one tracking your schedule. Just a discreet door, a private ride up, and home. In a city where true privacy is the scarcest amenity of all, this two-bedroom coop is a true diamond. Step off the elevator into prewar volume: a 28-foot great room under 10-foot ceilings, southern light pouring across hardwood floors, and four exposures keeping every room bright. The dedicated home office is a standout, with the kind of light everyone else on a video call wishes they had. Two full baths, central air and heat, and ceiling-mounted speakers throughout complete the picture. CitiQuiet windows alleviate any worries you might have about downtown noise. Storage is everywhere: deep closets throughout, additional spaces above the closets in the hallway and bedrooms, and a private cage downstairs that comes with the home. A part-time doorman and package room at the Broadway lobby receive your deliveries, and a virtual doorman grants access to who you want, when you want. A spacious common roof deck has beautiful, 360 views of Lower Manhattan. A resident manager is on staff, laundry is on each floor, and a bike room is in the basement. And bring your pets-they're welcome too. FiDi itself has become one of Manhattan's most exciting neighborhoods-no longer somewhere you commute to, but a place people genuinely live. Historic Trinity Church anchors the streetscape; the Oculus offers a striking underground world of shopping and dining; Manhatta and the restaurants of Brookfield Place are minutes away; the Hudson River Greenway is a few blocks west. The A, C, J, Z, 2, 3, 4, and 5 trains at Fulton Street and the R and W at Cortlandt Street are under 500 feet from your door, with the PATH to Hoboken, Jersey City, and Newark just beyond at the World Trade Center. At 176 Broadway, the city is at your doorstep (and a door the city doesn't know about).
