170 Second Ave. #8D

“Picture Perfect” describes this renovated prewar two bedroom corner residence in the heart of the Village. Located in a striking Art Deco full-service building at Eleventh Street and Second Avenue, with extraordinary Empire State building views, this flawless home is a “modern classic.” The brand new renovation respects the character of this historic 1929 building while bringing it completely up-to-date, replacing all plumbing and electricity, and choosing new finishes and fixtures that marry the historic period to today’s aesthetic.

Enter through the vast foyer/gallery into an expansive Living Room that is the center of this lovely home with restored original parquet oak flooring and beamed ceilings, and new baseboards and moldings throughout. Eight large windows with North and East exposures let light pour into every room and feature full Manhattan skyline views, including the Empire State and ConEd Buildings, as well as Eastern views to the East Village, Brooklyn and the Williamsburg Bridge.

The tastefully renovated open eat-in windowed Kitchen features plentiful cabinetry and storage, vast Ceaserstone quartz countertops, mosaic glass tile backsplash, a vented Bertazzoni range, large stainless steel French door refrigerator, stainless steel sink with Insinkerator, dishwasher and hidden washer/dryer under counter. Two large Bedrooms each feature two windows and ample closet space. The classically finished large windowed Bathroom is located off a small hallway that connects the two Bedrooms, and features a five foot spa/whirlpool tub with large separate shower, honed Carrera tile and mosaic marble flooring and two Robern mirrored medicine cabinets.

This extraordinary home is in the heart of one of Manhattan’s most vibrant neighborhoods and close to fantastic restaurants, Union Square, Tompkins Square Park and public transportation. 170 Second Avenue is a majestic prewar jewel with a stunning terrazzo lobby and is impeccably maintained by a great full time staff, including a live-in superintendent and a 24 hour elevator attendant.
