Description

Perfectly placed on a high floor, C-1203 is a thoughtfully reimagined one-bedroom that's bright, open, and airy, with lush, green views of the East River, Brooklyn waterfront, downtown Manhattan, and beyond. All can be enjoyed from your private balcony, or from the living room's south-facing picture window...every window, really, in this updated apartment.

The open floor-plan creates a space that feels more like a downtown loft than a mid-century apartment. Kitchen walls have been removed, letting light pour in all over. The kitchen has everything a cook requires: Dishwasher, oven, microwave, lots of cabinet space, and two windows, one showcasing the East River, the other facing the balcony allowing light and breezes all around.

The windowed bath has been updated, and closets are abundant. There is a large entry hall closet, and a unique alcove right next to it, perfect for a bureau, free-standing closet, small bench - anything you can imagine.

The bedroom has two closets, the original oversized closet, plus an extra created as part of the renovation.

East River Housing Corporation benefits from an upgraded 24-hour laundry room with new machines and finishes. The ground floor gym is is well-equipped, and the fee quite reasonable. Bike storage is available for a small fee, and the lobby is staffed 24/7.

Dogs are not permitted at East River, but at a time when outdoor space is coveted, all residents may enjoy our green space with plantings, benches, and lawns in the private parks between our buildings.

Neighborhood transportation choices are many - The M14A, M22, and M21 busses are right outside our doors, the East River Ferry is but a stone's throw away, and not one, but two, Citibike stations are close by, one just outside our building. The J, M, Z, and F trains are available at the Delancey/Essex St.. station at the new Essex Market, featuring the Market Line down below, and Trader Joe's and Target stores are conveniently located on Grand St. as part of the Essex Crossing Development.

The Lower East Side (LES) is a neighborhood where New York’s storied history meets its high-end future. Known for its legendary nightlife and deep historic roots, the area has seen a dramatic transformation with the arrival of luxury towers like Essex Crossing. The housing stock is a unique mix of historic walk-up cooperatives, value-driven HDFC units, and ultra-modern condominiums that offer some of the best views in Downtown Manhattan.
