504 Grand St. #F12

Perhaps the single most attractive and thoughtful restoration of one of the Amalgamated Coop’s one bedroom units. In addition, in a complex with a myriad of floor plans this one is perhaps the most appealing of them all. Upon entry you are treated to a proper foyer with shelving for display and surprise… two of the large architectural wall panels can be opened with a hidden latch revealing two great closets. The straight on living room is visually expanded by a large open counter between the living room and kitchen. Both the living room and kitchen face East over the planted courtyard with its lovely fountain. Currently there is scaffolding that is blocking the views from these rooms which is why they appear as they do. The eat in kitchen is heaven for a cook with its good counter space and exceptional cabinet and pantry storage. The kitchen was given an ideal layout, proposed by many kitchen designers…the stove, refrigerator and sink being the three points to a large work triangle that reduces steps and ads a comfortable flow to all your efforts. At the end of the kitchen is the perfect spot for a round table and 3 to 4 chairs. Ideal for entertaining, the large island allows you to have guests at the counter able to communicate and share with you as you prepare a meal. Overall the kitchen is a standout feature of the home and is trimmed in an array of hi-end tile, marble and wood. Down the hall from the kitchen you enter the bedroom ‘area’ with a very large walk-in closet, a linen closet, a bedroom with two exposures and a bathroom that exudes an old world European character. A fine marble mosaic floor underscores the elegance of the bath, Built in 1930 this piece of old New York retains much of its original beauty from the intricately detailed wood flooring to the fine plaster moldings atop the 10’ ceilings. All of this with INCREDIBLY LOW MAINTENANCE of $719/month. The coop itself features a large laundry room, gym, bicycle storage, package room, 24 hours security and a live in super. Nestled amongst other, much larger, coops this property evokes a charming throwback to an earlier era. The coop is located near major train lines, Trader Joes, Target, Essex Crossing, East River Park and numerous restaurants and cafe’s. Open by appointment Sunday 7/31/22 from 2PM to 3PM.
