Property Description for 205 East 16th Street, 4-A
Residence 4a at the Abbey Condominium is a stunning sun-flooded 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath, with dramatic 18 foot ceilings, full height windows and newly exposed architectural beams.
Built in 1888 as the Parish House of the St. George Church, the Abbey has earned a place in history as a New York City Landmark. An extensive renovation now brings a modern twist to this historic building.
Entering the Residence one is immediately aware of the sense of space and solidity.
The sleek and airy chef's kitchen, with top of the line Miele appliances complemented by Siematic cabinetry, is the perfect place to make a simple family meal--or entertain friends as they sit at the counter.
A dining area opposite is there to be used for those more intimate or formal occasions.
The huge open-format living space, bathed in natural light from the enormous original windows is both airy and comfortable.
A sizable marble powder room is built around an exposed architectural beam - character that resonates.
The staircase to the first bedroom allows natural light to flow through its open risers, with the glass treads being individually lit for that added ambiance.
Full height glass panels allow the private bedroom to overlook the living room and beyond with sliding doors and a railing giving the option of accessibility or intimacy.
A sizable walk-in closet is there to offer plenty of storage space.
A Carrara marble bathroom completes this first bedroom suite, featuring decorative Italian tile and an enclosed Miele W/D.
Entering the master suite, you're immediately struck by the views through double-corner windows - the St George Church and Stuyvesant Square Park to the East, a row of historic brownstones to the South. A sizable walk-in closet offers plenty of storage space. The master bath features exquisite touches such as radiant heated floors, under lit sink and built in Bluetooth speaker in the vanity
No detail has been overlooked in this unit, from quiet-close drawers and cabinets to 7" engineered rift/quarter-sawn oak floors throughout.
This is truly a one-of-a-kind showplace apartment in one of New York's most historic buildings.
