2-18 Charlton St. #11C

Simply Perfect

Welcome to 11C at 2 Charlton Street, a sprawling 2 bedroom/2 bath corner unit with panoramic and endless views north.

11C recently went through a soup to nuts renovation, sparing no detail. From the oak floors with a French glaze finish to the professional quality Lacanche stove, this property is beyond move-in ready – even publication-worthy! You enter into a foyer with a giant closet (one of many in the apartment), turn the corner past built- in bookshelves and are immediately struck by a wall of windows that stretches from the living room, past the dining area and into the master bedroom. The view includes many landmarks starting with the Empire State building, to midtown, to the towers of Hudson Yards – and at night you can see the car lights magically snaking up Sixth Avenue. And there is an endless swathe of sky above it all. These high floor north-facing units at Charlton House offer a one-of-kind birds-eye view of our wonderful city.

The details of the apartment are many and varied. The color scheme – shades of soft green with white, black and grey counterpoints – balances the light that bathes the space all day. The apartment has been cleverly separated into two wings. The master bedroom features a built in dressing table ,a walk-in closet/dressing room with double-hanging rods to increase space for clothes, a bathroom with radiant heat done in grey and white with a toilet/bidet combo and giant stand- alone shower. It also features remote-controlled blackout shades in the north and west-facing windows. The second bedroom is currently used as an office/exercise area and has a cleverly concealed murphy bed. The bath just outside in the hallway is the same gray and white color scheme as the master, and also has a full tub/shower and radiant heat. Across the hallway a closet houses a a Bosch washer and dryer. All tile work and bath fixtures are Waterworks; the closets were configured by California Closets. . The kitchen is fit for any chef (in fact, a famous one made suggestions for it) and includes the aforementioned stove, filtered water dispenser, spray washer, a Miele dishwasher and both overhead and under-cabinet lighting. There is a camouflaged fridge, plenty of both wide and narrow-shelf storage, and a breakfast bar. It’s open to both the dining area and the living room so you can talk to guests or family while you cook.

The last word? This neighborhood, Hudson Square, is a quiet oasis from which you can access all the activity in the West Village and SoHo. There are myriad restaurants (with many new entries recently), off-Broadway theaters, dozens of shops/bakeries/specialty stores, the new Google campus and Trader Joe’s. There is also proximity to the biking/walking path along the river and two subway lines – the 1 and the A/C – a block away. It is a true privilege for anyone to call this home.
