Exposed brick walls and a decorative fireplace give this East Village alcove studio at 186 East 2nd Street charm to spare while clever space-saving solutions and plenty of storage make it adaptable to modern life. Asking $525,000, it’s got a prime East Village location to boot, just two blocks away from the Second Avenue F train station and a short walk to Tompkins Square Park.
A raised platform and frosted glass sliding doors clearly divide the space into a living and bedroom area and a pull-out mattress underneath the bedroom area offers a perfect solution for overnight guests. The north-facing windows overlook the common garden at the back of the building.
The kitchen features custom frosted glass and wood cabinets and packs as much utility as it can in its tiny footprint, including a dishwasher and a combination washer/dryer.
Two walk-in closets separate the kitchen and bathroom, bringing the unit’s total closet count to four (there are two smaller ones by the entrance). The custom tile backsplash in the kitchen picks up again in the bathroom, which has a walk-in shower and additional overhead storage.
The pet-friendly building is open to co-purchasing, gifting, and parents buying for children. Unlimited subletting is allowed after a year of ownership.
