CONTRACT SIGNED! Before & After! Newly painted, with newly refinished parquet floors, a one-Bedroom/one-Bath home, light and airy, offering tree-top views of downtown Manhattan, One World Trade Center, The Woolworth Building, plus the East River! Enjoy all from your private balcony, or through the living room picture window, where that big window and balcony's glass door, assure you will remain in light. Charmingly original, the eat-in kitchen has two windows that keep that light, airy feel intact - Gaze out at the East River, or onto the private balcony for those downtown views. The large bedroom's windows let in the morning light, and an oversized cedar closet's built-in shelves provide abundant storage. There's a second closet, as well, and right next door is a charming, windowed, vintage bath, tiled in a classic black and grey motif. Eight-foot plus ceilings throughout, newly painted, with newly refinished parquet floors, move right in, or make it your own. This flexible floor plan offers lots of possibilities. The East River Housing Corporation's amenities include a 24-hour laundry room, playroom, and ground floor gym. There's a bicycle room, parking lot, and storage rooms, all fee-based and each subject to a waitlist. Please note - Dogs are not permitted. At a time when outdoor space is coveted, residents enjoy lawns, plantings, benches, and playgrounds in private parks between buildings. Lobbies are staffed full-time, and nearby transportation choices are many: The M14A, M22, and M21 busses are right outside, and not one, but two Citibike stations are close by. The New York City Ferry is right around the corner at Corlears Hook Park, nearby subways include the J, M, Z, and F trains at the Delancey/Essex Street stations right next to the Essex Market, where you will find The Market Line down below, and the Regal Essex Crossing Movie Theater up above. All open for business, as are Trader Joe's and Target stores.
