407 East 12th St. 3RN

It’s hard not to be highly impressed with this distinctive two-bedroom, two-bath home that’s so tastefully designed and offers a rare sense of quiet privacy and natural light. Set in the rear of this low-rise condo building away from traffic and street noise, this unique space is accessed through a common courtyard that has the feel of a European plaza. The contemporary home features nine-foot ceilings, a wall of windows overlooking neighboring backyards, recessed lighting on dimmers, wall air conditioners, independent thermostats, an open kitchen with granite countertops and stainless appliances, plus a full-sized washer and dryer. The generously proportioned primary bedroom is big enough for a king-sized bed and includes a wonderfully oversized closet. The second bedroom has a built-in Murphy bed, a large closet, and ample room for a home office. The elevator building is pet friendly and has a full-time super. Located just east of First Avenue, there’s easy access to Union Square as well as express transit including the cross-town
L train and East River ferries. The rental application process is simple and efficient.
