Description

Available for sale for the first time in over 13 years, we are proud to present Residence 2FE located at 153 1/2 Stanton Street, an extremely rare and picturesque studio situated in the heart of the Lower East Side. The home is fully renovated, SOUND PROOFED (!) from both ceiling and floor, and has exposed brick walls, an original fireplace, XL windows, and a private STORAGE cage.

Enjoy NYC homeownership of this fabulous Downtown Studio at a low price with even lower monthlies - $476 maintenance (includes taxes)! A fantastic deal for any buyer, especially for current renters looking to escape sky-high rent increases and the mercy of landlords.

Just one flight up, as you open your doors you are greeted by an entryway and a fully renovated, modern L-shape kitchen outfitted with an island, stainless steel countertops, tiled backsplash, dishwasher, refrigerator, range/oven, and microwave. Plentiful overhead and under cabinetry serve all of your storage needs and three tear-drop pendant lights illuminate a generous work surface/breakfast bar. The living and sleeping area, sun-splashed through two (2) XL windows, is framed by an original red brick wall and a fireplace. The home comfortably fits a full or queen bed with a side table, couch, coffee table, bookshelf or dining nook, and other decorative objects to fulfill the space. The tranquil view is of lush green treetops with an infusion of sunbeams to nurture your indoor plants and your mood. The bathroom is renovated with a new vanity, lights, floors, and bathtub. Throughout the home are new cherry hardwood floors, ceilings that have been meticulously sound-proofed, multiple ceiling light fixtures, and a full-sized closet. W/D allowed.

153 1/2 Stanton is an intimate, boutique prewar cooperative built in 1920 with just five stories and ten units combined. The building is well-managed, financially stable, and has a private courtyard for owners to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Laundromat is conveniently located directly across the building. Pets (no size limitations!) allowed with board approval. Subletting is permitted after four (4) years of residency.

Centrally located just one block from Houston off of Suffolk and Clinton, residents are in the closest proximity to Whole Foods, Essex market & Trader Joes, Equinox and Blink fitness centers, renowned restaurants (Beauty & Essex; Dhamaka; Clinton Street Bakery, Katz Delicatessen), Public Hotel, art galleries, speakeasies (Mayflower, Essex & Co), bars, and nightlife. The world of Downtown NYC - East Village, Soho, Nolita, & Noho - is a stroll away. Transportation (if you decide to venture from Downtown Manhattan) is a short walk away on Delancey & Essex where the F-J-M-Z subway lines and multiple bus lines are available. From there you can walk or Citibike over The Williamsburg Bridge to prime Williamsburg!

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.
