111 E 10th Street #12

This RARE Jewel-like pre-war one bedroom with finished private roof deck is located on the top floor of a historic townhouse on arguably the most desirable of all East Village blocks. Renovated and restored to celebrate the original details this property oozes charm. Three quick flights up you are immediately struck by dramatic beamed ceilings reaching 14ft and extraordinary light flowing through new atelier (artist) skylights and mahogany windows overlooking the expansive lush common garden, so quiet you will awake to morning birdsong and fall asleep to the sound of the tranquil garden fountain. Exposed brick, original wide plank floors and a marble mantlepiece maintain the artistic provenance of the space. A washer/dryer completes the picture. The unexpected private rooftop terrace is a pleasant and whimsical counter-balance to Gotham's hustle and bustle: A secret nook in a pleasant land; is how Ralph Waldo Emerson might describe this incredible outdoor space! Finished with an automatic watering and lighting system along with a clever mix of plants and evergreen trees this terrace delights year-round. This charming home is part of the highly coveted cooperative comprised of six 19th Century townhouses with a collection of 29 residences and sits within the landmarked St. Mark's Historic district, moments from all the charms of the East Village that deliver on every level with the best selection of boutiques, restaurants and entertainment. The well-managed cooperative has an expansive common garden, live-in superintendent, and basement storage lockers available for rent. Pet friendly. No smoking policy. Sorry, no pied-à-terres allowed. Ideally situated in the vibrant East Village and stones throw away from Greenwich Village, the townhouses are just moments away from fantastic restaurants, Washington Square Park, Union Square, Tompkins Square Park and public transportation N/Q/R/W, L, and 4/5/6 trains.
