It’s hard to find an apartment in today’s East Village with the cozy, historic feel that once defined the neighborhood’s living spaces. This (potential) two-bedroom condo at 102 First Avenue has the iconic exposed brick, white walls, and quirky geometry–and a flexible layout that requires adding a wall to obtain a second bedroom, in true East Village style. Asking $1,300,000, the top-floor home is blessed with skylights and a view of the Empire State Building; on the other hand–also in true East Village style–it’s a walkup.
The sun-filled living room has a wood-burning fireplace, a wall of shelves for your book collection, and windows that offer skyline and neighborhood views. Just off the living room, a closet-lined laundry room leads to a renovated bathroom. Convenient modern additions include zoned HVAC, a washer/dryer, and recessed lighting.
A clean, capable galley kitchen has a Fisher & Paykel refrigerator and a Bosch oven and dishwasher. At the center of the apartment, there’s space for dining and entertaining.
Through a pair of French doors, the master bedroom is framed by exposed brick and a wall of windows. The current owner removed a wall separating two bedrooms, so there’s plenty of space for an additional room (or a massive closet, since the bedroom doesn’t appear to include one). You can also choose to keep the current configuration for a sprawling great room.
