633 East 11th St. #2

This charming one-bedroom with southern exposure and full-city views is a rare opportunity to buy at this price point in an East Village pre-war building. Featuring high ceilings, exposed brick, original detailing, and wood floors throughout, the large unit also includes a downstairs “bonus room.” This separate room holds endless possibilities: it could either be joined to the actual unit to create a duplex apartment, as illustrated in the alternate floor plan, or it can remain detached and be transformed into an artist’s studio, office, or bedroom. The windowed kitchen features new cabinets and stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher and washer/dryer. Adding to the charisma and airiness of this captivating space is the windowed bathroom, finished with a lovely mixture of slate, glass tiles, and exposed brick.

This delightful find is located on a tree-lined street in a six-story, twenty-four unit co-op that offers low monthly maintenance, 80% financing, and features a common garden and bike room. An abundance of restaurants, coffee shops, and bars are just steps away. When you seek a respite from city life, walk one block south to the historic 10.5-acre Tompkins Square Park. Canopied by American Elm trees, the park offers a dog run, state-of-the-art children’s playground, chess tables, basketball courts, a Sunday Greenmarket, and plenty of benches and green space to sit back and enjoy the flavors of the East Village.
