Opening into a spacious gallery, the floorplan reflects the sinuous nature of the building's fa ade, sweeping into a series of curvaceously framed spaces. A crisply proportioned open-plan chef's kitchen featuring Miele appliances with wine fridge, addresses an undulating living/dining space. Light floods the apartment through floor-to-ceiling windows while customized light fixtures by Baccarat and Verpan add a dash of glamour.The principal bedroom has a curved floor-to-ceiling window, a walk-in closet, and a beautifully detailed en-suite bath. The second bedroom has ample closet space and its own en-suite bath; a half-bath rounds out the floor plan. A Miele washer/dryer is included; paint finishes throughout are organic.
Fronting Astor Place, the convergence of the East Village and Noho, the building is surrounded in every direction by world-famous cultural and educational institutions, celebrated shopping, cafes, restaurants and nightlife - the Public Theater, the Cooper Union, NYU, Washington Square and St. Mark's Place are all adjacent with the Astor Place 6 Train directly across the street and the transit hub of Union Square only blocks away.Concierge, full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, on-site garage parking with direct access into the building, and a full gym are among the amenities. A chance to acquire a one-of-a-kind residence at the very heart of New York's most vibrant district.
