315 E 12TH Street #33

Available immediately - No Fee! If you are looking for a breath of fresh air in the East Village, this “green” two-bed, one-bath co-op rental has exactly that! Vandeberg Architects designed and reconfigured this eco-friendly home into a wonderful open space with the idea that space should be multi-function, and transform its function to your needs throughout the day. All finishes used are green certified and consciously sourced. Featured in the NYTimes, and Apartment Therapy; the star attraction to this apartment is the live green wall that has been installed connecting the primary bedroom, living room and home office areas, uniting the spaces with an open airy loft-like feeling. This vertical garden “live wall” has been planted with hundreds of pothos, philodendrons, and ferns and is completely maintenance-free! The plants are not only pretty, but they also filter the air and let off fresh oxygen! The entry foyer and kitchen have been refinished with slate-stone floors, bluestone countertops, custom cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. An exposed brick archway with a built-in aquarium and structural I-beams leads into the Japanese inspired open layout. A home office, with built-in desks has a floor-to-ceiling glass sliding wall to enclose the space from the living room, an east-facing window, and access to the second bedroom behind the green wall! A large 13 x 16-foot wide living room has a corner L shaped built-in sofa, with three south-facing windows providing great light. The room is surrounded by custom storage, including a queen-size Murphy bed on the far wall which converts the space into the primary bedroom at night, and you can close the room off with the pocket glass sliding doors. The second bedroom is a Japanese tea room by day: built on a platform with a Chabudai dining table, and/or used as a bedroom in the evening- just roll out your Shiki futon floor mattress! The room has exposed brick with built-in shelving, and three custom wood panel closets and a custom glass door. 315 East 12th street is a pet-friendly co-op building with a live-in superintendent. The apartment comes with a storage unit in the basement. Bike rack storage is available for a fee.
