170 Second Ave. #4D

Residence 4D is a large two-bedroom, two-bathroom home at 170 Second Avenue, a full-service Art Deco building located at the corner of 11th Street in the East Village. Having recently undergone a complete top-to-bottom renovation, this home has been thoughtfully designed with classic finishes to complement its pre-war character.

The grand entry foyer with large coat closet leads to an expansive living/dining room that overlooks tree-lined Eleventh Street to the north. This nearly 25 X 13-foot light-filled space showcases the residence’s impressive pre-war details: original, refinished oak parquet floors and beamed nine-foot ceilings. A breakfast bar opens to a large windowed eat-in kitchen, which boasts a subway tile backsplash, porcelain floors, quartz countertops, abundant cabinetry and a newly installed suite of Frigidaire appliances including a dishwasher and French door refrigerator.

The corner bedroom faces the treetops of Eleventh Street and features an en-suite bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower complete with a rainhead, handheld fixture, four adjustable body jets and floor-to-ceiling subway tile. The bedroom facing east provides a quiet, peaceful retreat and is outfitted with two large extra deep closets. Adjacent is a large windowed bathroom.

Other highlights of this lovely home include custom, built-out closets, recessed lighting, and a full-sized Electrolux washer and dryer.

170 Second Avenue has beautiful lobby with original terrazzo floors, brass chandeliers, historic Art Deco murals and a mahogany-paneled elevator. It is impeccably maintained by a wonderful full-time staff, comprised of porters, a live-in superintendent and 24-hour elevator attendant. Amenities include a newly renovated central laundry room, storage and bike rooms. The building is located near fantastic restaurants, Union Square, Astor Place, Tompkins Square Park and public transportation.
