Tall ceilings, new tin ceiling in kitchen, and hardwood floors. Bright windowed kitchen can hold a small table and chairs. Very funky bathroom can use your creative ideas. Feels much bigger than its actual square footage. Public outside space right next door and the crosstown bus to get you anywhere right across the street. A real haven in the East Village, Manhattan’s last bastion of real neighborhood. Subletting is permitted with board approval. Unit is rented until the end of April 2012 but you can close and have income until then and get ready to move in at a leisurely pace.
