Presenting a rare opportunity to purchase one of the largest apartments in the coveted Forward building, a chic, luxury loft building located at 175 East Broadway in the Lower East Side. This full-service doorman building is located right across the street from Seward Park, a three-acre urban landmark home to the first municipal playground in the United States. Boasting unobstructed, panoramic city views from three exposures, unit 8B is an almost 3,000-square-foot loft with 12-foot ceilings, offering open-concept living awash in natural light. The layout offers a staggering 20 oversized windows, with four located in the office alone. The layout has been thoughtfully programmed as a two-bed, two-and-half-bath could easily be a 3 or 4 bedroom apartment with dedicated areas for entertaining guests, relaxing with family, quietly working and more, all against the backdrop of New York’s iconic skyline. Finishes and fixtures include wide-plank walnut floors, beautiful walnut built-ins, Miele appliances, Sub-Zero fridge, working gas fireplace and a large walk-in closet in the primary suite. There is also central air, a full-sized washer and dryer in separate laundry room, extensive storage and more. What truly elevates this home, though, is its location in the historic Forward Building. Constructed in 1912, this Beaux-Arts architectural gem is named for one of its earliest tenants – The Forward, a historic news organization that has covered Jewish news and culture since 1897. In 2006, architect Ron Castellano reimagined the Forward Building as a modern, 29-unit condominium that paid homage to its historic roots. In addition to luxurious living, residents enjoy amenities such as a 24-hour doorman, refrigerated lobby storage for perishable deliveries, a video intercom system, dedicated storage cages, basement wine refrigerator and bike racks. The rooftop deck boasts spectacular views of Seward Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, Lower East Side and the Empire State Building, as well as the midtown and downtown skylines. Enjoy living in the Lower East Side enclave of Two Bridges, home to excellent shops, markets, restaurants, bars and cafes. Top neighborhood destinations are all just blocks away, including Orchard, Delancey, Essex, Grand Street and The Bowery, plus easy access to the F, J, M, Z, B and D trains. Pets are permitted on a case-by-case basis. *Please note can be combined with 8A to make a show stopping 4300sqft!
