Renovations & Upgrades As a rare, combined double unit this property provides an exceptional canvas for customized structural and/or cosmetic renovations. Key upgrade opportunities include: -Layout Reconfiguration: The flexible floor plan allows you to strategically remove select walls to open up sight-lines, including an open kitchen/dining/living room expanse. -Enhanced Natural Light: Modifying the interior flow lets you fully maximize the home's bright east and west dual exposures. -Value-Add Expansion: The expansive square footage comfortably supports the addition of a full or half secondary bathroom. The Amalgamated Dwellings is a 236 unit, 6 story cooperative located on Grand St on the Lower East Side. Built in 1929, this coop maintains its original art deco and European charm.
