Why It’s So Popular
Welcome to 500 Grand Street #C7B, a Lower East Side 2-bedroom, in which every single detail — down to the cabinet knobs and light switch panels — has been thoughtfully curated to create a luxurious aesthetic experience. The inspired design choices begin right as you walk through the front door: Contemporary light fixtures in the expansive foyer illuminate the chic slate gray paint color. You could create your own eclectic gallery wall, as shown in the listing photos, or customize the versatile space to your heart’s content.
From the foyer you’ll enter the home’s main living area, which is flooded with natural sunlight thanks to the extra-large exposures. These windows are punctuated by wool treatments and provide glorious Manhattan views. Effortlessly cool herringbone wood floors gleam underfoot while a stunning beamed ceiling hangs overheard. Refined wainscotting creates distinct panels across the walls, which is tremendously helpful in centering stand out artwork.

Off the living room lies a completely separate dining space, a rare luxury in New York City. The room is set apart by its garden-inspired wallpaper treatment and its angular, modern chandelier. Just imagine the dinner parties you could host in this elegant space! Especially considering that the gourmet galley kitchen comes with a top-of-the-line ILVE Majestic stove and a Liebherr refrigerator. The black Nero Marquina countertops provide sweeping surfaces for meal prepping and the see-through glass cabinetry is perfect for showing off your vintage glassware collection.
There’s even a dedicated pantry just steps away from the kitchen that doubles your food storage space. And bonus: Nestled among the pantry sits a built-in desk, perfect for working or studying from home.
Both of the home’s bedrooms are spacious enough for a queen or king-sized mattress, plus extra furnishings. The primary bedroom is especially alluring thanks to its corner configuration and view of the Empire State Building. Neither bedroom has a closet, but never fear: There’s a gigantic walk-in located in the hallway across from the primary, making organization a breeze.
The unit’s one bathroom looks like it came directly from a five-star resort, with brass fixtures throughout and black marbled counters that complement the ones in the kitchen. Not to mention the hidden washer/dryer unit in the linen cabinet. Covert AND convenient!
The unit is located in one of three buildings that make up the Hillman Coops, situated on landscaped grounds just a block from the Williamsburg Bridge. The building includes 24-hour security and a fully equipped gym, and the complex has a private, gated park with a playground.
