SUNSETS, LAYOUT, and LOCATION: XXL-sized two bedroom apartment is the LARGEST 2-bed layout in the co-op, bar none. This floor-through home features an open-concept kitchen with honed granite breakfast bar, updated bath with step-in steam shower, and stunning river views over a sunny, keyed, quiet keyed garden, a long hallway full of closets, and king-sized bedrooms. Bedrooms face East, where morning light shall greet you. Wall-through ACs save on window space and there are two windows each in the front & back of the apartment allowing for exceptional cross-breezes. Here's how you know it's the "bigger" layout: A dining alcove, 2 windows in the living room, and a long row of hall closets. This exact layout- with approved alteration- can be modified to 2-beds, 2-baths, with in-unit W/D. Not all 2-beds in the co-op have this capability, be careful! Size does matter when deciding. Fifth floor walkup- and worth every step up the sturdy, wide stairs that have landings at each half-floor- for superlative sunshine and no upstairs neighbors. The layout is PERFECT, providing long separation between living areas and bedrooms, with generous closet space and hall storage. In-unit W/D can EASILY be added, as can mini-split climate control. With so much square footage, you can even add a second full bathroom- and I'll show you exactly how it's been done before. 626 Washington is part of "Site 1"- a full square block owned (outright, among several other acres) by the co-op. It is a keyed, PRIVATE green space with mature trees, bbq grills for your use, central laundry, and bike storage for you and your neighbors that will transport you far away from an urban mindset- right in your backyard. It is 100% private to the co-op (like Grammercy Park, but in a better area, I like to say...). With board approval, the co-op is pet-friendly, permits subletting after 2 years (for 3 of every 6), has bike storage, two live-in supers, an onsite management office and fleet of uniformed buildings & grounds staff tending to its multi-acre property. If location is paramount for you, then 626 Washington, between Morton and Barrow Streets, has it all. It's close to transit, a few short blocks to Google's headquarters in NY, ABC/Disney's rising studios and a flurry of incredibly pricey and valuable waterfront new development. Christopher and Houston Street Stations are nearby, as are crosstown buses and CitiBike docking stations. Closed on 8/29/24 after a feverish multiple-bidder situation. #hyperlocalexpertise
