170 2ND Avenue #5E

This renovated, oversized one-bedroom is located in 170 Second Avenue, the East Village's preeminent full-service co-op. The residence perfectly marries prewar charm, such as restored original parquet oak flooring, beamed ceilings and base and crown moldings, with modern upgrades and conveniences. A formal entry foyer leads to the large, bright south-facing living room that is the center of this spacious home. The recently renovated kitchen is equipped with a full suite of Miele appliances and features high-end finishes and fixtures, including custom bamboo cabinetry and a Grohe faucet. The spacious corner bedroom offers both southern and eastern exposures and is pin-drop quiet. An updated, windowed bathroom is appointed with colorful Ann Sacks tiles and an original, reglazed cast-iron soaking tub. Other highlights of this lovely home are a Miele washer and dryer, through-wall air conditioning and ample closet space throughout. 170 Second Avenue features a beautiful lobby with original terrazzo floors, brass chandeliers, Art Deco murals and a mahogany-paneled elevator. It is impeccably maintained by a wonderful full-time staff, comprised of porters, a live-in superintendent and 24-hour elevator attendant. It is located near fantastic restaurants, Union Square, Astor Place, Tompkins Square Park and public transportation. Sorry, no pets.
