Why it’s so popular:
There’s a lot to love about this LES co-op. Formerly a two-bedroom, it’s now configured as a one-bedroom with dining area separated by a paned glass wall. (Floorplans show the apartment layout as both a one- and two-bedroom, depending on your needs and preference.) Located on the third floor of a building dating to 1910, you get treetop views and loads of sunlight through west-facing windows. Pre-war details include exposed brick and hardwood floors, and the apartment features a variety of versatile storage options including built-in cabinetry, recessed shelving, and two closets.
The apartment’s character is complemented by tech that makes your life easy: the thermostat and smoke detector are managed by Nest, and there is a video intercom system. The pristine white kitchen includes a Blomberg dishwasher and LG washer/dryer, as well as a breakfast bar, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee. The bathroom features a pedestal sink and and a classic white penny tile floor.
The apartment even has major downtown art scene cred: it’s the former townhouse of Andy Warhol’s muse, Baby Jane. (And is identified as such on the outside.)
