Description

PRIME EAST VILLAGE LOCATION with PRIVATE ENTRY: 170 Second Avenue is the East Village's preeminent full service co-op. The Art Deco building is centrally located just east of, and between, Astor Place and Union Square. It stands on Second Avenue across from St. Mark's Church, and is convenient to the 4, 5, 6, L, N, Q, R, and W subway lines.

The co-op provides a full-time staff of porters, a live-in super, and a 24-hour elevator attendant, as well as a laundry room, storage room, and bike room. The co-op allows dogs and cats, washer/dryers, and purchase as a Pied-a-Terre, or by a parent or with a co-purchaser or guarantor, and subletting after 2 years of ownership.

1A is 3.5 room apartment with an alcove area in addition to a living room, bedroom, and a separate windowed kitchen. It has hardwood floors, 9'2'' inch ceilings in all but the kitchen, a deep soaking bathtub in the windowed bathroom, and a private entry on East 11th Street that is shared only with 1C.

1A is the Perfect Pied-a-Terre or Home Office. The private entry from 11th Street allows guests to avoid entry through the building's lobby from Second Avenue and casual observation by staff and neighbors, but the live-in super and full staff of porters still receive your mail and accept packages. You also have access to the Coop's Laundry and Storage Rooms, and the Coop's Building Link Communication System for notifications and requests.

Bring your architect or contractor, design your custom modifications, and make 1A your Perfect Pied-a-Terre or Home Office.

Admittance is only from the Private Entrance on 11th Street (around the corner from the Lobby Entrance on Second Avenue), also marked as "300 East 11th Street". Press the Buzzer for 1A ("Momose").

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.
