170 2nd Avenue #3D

Residence 3D is a bright and spacious, pre-war two bedroom home located at 170 Second Avenue, a striking Art Deco full-service cooperative building at the corner of Eleventh Street in the East Village. A meticulous restoration of this north and east facing corner home respects the character of the building, marrying the pre-war details with completely up-to-date aesthetics.

A grand entry foyer/gallery leads to an expansive living room which looks out over the treetops of 11th street. Both the living room and the foyer open into the large windowed eat-in kitchen, which is complemented by plentiful floor-to-ceiling kitchen cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, and large breakfast bar. The high-end stainless steel appliances include a five burner Frigidaire gas range, a french door Fisher and Paykel refrigerator, and a Bosch dishwasher.

A glass paneled door separates the living room from the bedroom wing. The north and east facing spacious corner primary bedroom is outfitted with a massive custom extra deep closet. The equally sizable second bedroom features a ceiling fan and two large closets and faces east towards the back of the building which provides a quiet, peaceful retreat. Conveniently located between the two bedrooms is a brand new windowed, porcelain wrapped black and white bathroom.

High beamed ceilings, light oak hardwood floors, exquisite picture moldings, classic baseboards, solid doors, and lathe and plaster walls are emblematic of the original details from the historic 1929 building that have been thoughtfully maintained in this home. Other D lines have also added a second bathroom and/or wash dryer hookups.

170 Second Avenue has a recently restored majestic lobby with terrazzo floors, brass chandeliers, Art Deco murals and a mahogany-paneled elevator. The building is impeccably maintained by a wonderful full-time staff, including a live-in superintendent, porters, and 24-hour elevator attendants (switching to full time doorman in 2024). Amenities include central laundry, storage and bike rooms. It is located near fantastic restaurants, Union Square, Astor Place, Tompkins Square Park and public transportation.
