Description

Rarely available Pre-War condominium in the heart of the East Village. It has a large living room with high ceilings, its three south facing windows and higher floor bathing it in sunlight. It has a separate kitchen, large enough to install a washer and dryer. And the layout is spacious enough to include home office space. The common roof deck commands panoramic views of the East Village and downtown. The building has a laundry room, individual storage lockers as well as bike storage. The monthly common charges include cable and internet.

This condominium is perfectly located, nestled between Avenue A and B and right above Houston St. You're close to three subway lines and very close to Union Market, Whole Foods and Essex Crossing, as well as the best restaurants, bars and retail businesses of both the East Village and the Lower East Side. Pets are allowed, as are pieds-a-terre and subletting. Assessment of 126.79.

The East Village remains New York’s epicenter of counter-culture and artistic expression. Known for its active street life, community gardens, and legendary music venues, the neighborhood offers an energy unlike any other. The real estate market is characterized by historic tenement-style cooperatives, historic low-rise walk-ups, and a growing selection of modern boutique condominiums that offer luxury amenities in Downtown Manhattan.
