170 Second Ave. #2E

Located in the heart of the Village at Second Avenue and Eleventh Street, 170 Second Avenue is the East Village’s preeminent co-op. This renovated prewar oversized one bedroom residence is a “modern classic.” The restoration respects the character of this historic 1929 art deco building, while bringing it completely up-to-date, marrying the historic period to today’s aesthetic. A formal Entry Foyer leads to the a large, bright south facing Living Room that is the center of this exquisite home, with restored original parquet Oak flooring, beamed ceilings, and moldings throughout. The large windowed eat-in Kitchen features Hammered Granite counters with Hot Rolled Steel backsplash, textured ceramic tile flooring, sleek white lacquer cabinets with “quiet close” drawers, an under mounted sink with built-in water filtration system, and stainless steel appliances (including a Liebherr refrigerator and a Bosch dishwasher). The updated black and white windowed Bathroom boasts the original pedestal sink and 5.5’ foot soaking tub (but reglazed with clear glass enclosures), all new fixtures and subway tile, a Robern medicine cabinet, and a Toto Washlet commode. The large corner Bedroom faces south and east and is “pin drop” quiet. There is ample closet space throughout, including an extra-large linen closet. This lovely home is in the heart of one of Manhattan’s most vibrant neighborhoods and close to fantastic restaurants, Union Square, Astor Place, Tompkins Square Park and public transportation. 170 Second Avenue is a majestic prewar jewel in the East Village with an extraordinary lobby featuring original terrazzo floors, brass chandeliers, Art Deco murals and a mahogany-paneled elevator. The building is impeccably maintained by a wonderful full-time staff including porters, a live-in superintendent and a 24-hour elevator attendant. Features include central laundry, storage and bike rooms.
