East Village Sanctuary

This TWO FULL BATH, 1-2 BEDROOM DUPLEX WITH EXPANSIVE TERRACE is a rare gem that won't last. Listed for the first time in more than a decade, this charming, utterly unique duplex apartment is situated on a quiet, tree-lined block right off of historic Tompkins Square Park, in a well-maintained pre-war building.

Upstairs, one is welcomed to an inviting living room featuring exposed brick and oversized, custom wood-framed windows overlooking your own 300 square foot private terrace. Walk down the beautifully custom designed staircase (not a spiral!) to the lower level bedroom. There is ample room to convert this space to two bedrooms. The windowed open kitchen features country style cabinets, complete with a Viking commercial kitchen stove. Both upper and lower levels each have their own full bathroom and Washer/Dryer in unit is allowed!

Just off the lower level is a spacious and generously proportioned private terrace, with an arbor, that spans the entire width of the building (over 28 ft. wide and 11 ft. deep!), and a beautiful tree that will keep you cool in the shade on those hot summer New York nights. An amazingly warm apartment where every square inch serves a purpose, and an outdoor space made to entertain.

Located just a half block from Tompkins Square Park and its world famous dog run, between Avenues B and C. The building is a boutique co-op that is pet friendly, contains a laundry room and new video intercom system. Co-purchasing, gifting, parents buying and subletting allowed. Convenient access to the new Trader Joe's (14th St and Ave A), M8, M14 buses and a short commute to Astor Place and new L train station at 14th St. and Avenue A. Hang in the park for those Summer Film and Dance Festivals, concerts and bongo players; head to the coffee houses and be within a stone's throw of the Alphabet City restaurants and East Village entertainment; and come home to your own backyard and gorgeous duplex apartment. This is the Manhattan dream that you've been searching for.
