475 FDR Drive #L1702

BOARD APPROVED! Placed on a high floor, with views of downtown Manhattan, including One World Trade Center, The Woolworth Building, plus the East River, L-1702 offers a Two-Bedroom/One-Bath home bathed in light, where you can enjoy all from your private balcony. A large (Large!) walk-in closet is the highlight of the entrance. Customized with shelves, cabinets, hanging hardware, and lighting, there's a place for everything. Opposite the entrance is the renovated Kitchen, updated with a suite of Frigidaire Stainless Steel appliances (oven, dishwasher, and microwave). The kitchen wall has been opened up, creating a light, airy space, perfect for casual dining at the lovely breakfast bar/counter, finished with polished black stone countertops. There's a Dining Alcove alongside the Kitchen, too, that accommodates a dining table and chairs for those who prefer to gather round the table. The Living Room is a comfortable 16' x 13', and the picture window, and balcony's see-through glass door, assure you will remain in light. The generously sized Main Bedroom, at approximately 15' x 11', has an oversized closet, plus a built-in wall-unit, for an abundance of storage. You'll enjoy those downtown views from the main bedroom, too. The Second Bedroom is a nicely proportioned 13' x 10', with two windows, and a good sized closet as well. In the hallway leading to the vintage bath, tiled in a classic black & white motif, and updated with a new vanity and medicine cabinet, you will find yet another large closet just outside. Deep, with shelving installed, this closet can hold...a lot! We have eight-foot ceilings, refinished original solid oak parquet floors, crown, rail, and baseboard moldings, and we're newly painted, too. East River Housing Corporation's amenities include an upgraded 24-hour laundry room, with all-new machines and finishes, a playroom, as well as our recently reopened ground floor gym. There's a bicycle room, parking lot, and storage rooms, all fee-based and each subject to a waitlist. At a time when outdoor space is coveted, residents may enjoy private parks between buildings where there are lawns, plantings, benches, and playgrounds. Our lobby is staffed full-time, and nearby transportation choices are many - The M14A, M22, and M21 busses are right outside our doors, and not one, but two Citibike stations are close by, as is the New York City Ferry just around the corner at Corlears Hook Park. Nearby subways include the J, M, Z, and F trains at the Delancey/Essex Street stations next to the Essex Market, where you will find The Market Line down below, and the Regal Essex Crossing Movie Theater up above. All are open for business, along with a new Trader Joe's and Target store conveniently located nearby.
