201 East 21st Street, 8-D

This gut-renovated one-bedroom, one-bathroom home is a real standout in Gramercy's sought-after Quaker Ridge co-op thanks to its modern updates and expansive, open layout.

The great room stretches over 30 feet long and is lined with windows facing south and west, making this spacious home a bright and airy retreat from the city. With an ideal flow for entertaining, the roomy dining area is positioned conveniently between the well-appointed kitchen and the large, sunny living room. In the beautifully renovated kitchen, chefs will delight in sleek deep-stained cabinetry and ceasarstone counters surrounding top-notch stainless steel appliances. The chic bathroom remodel, meanwhile, included expanding the space, making it much larger than other Quaker Ridge bathrooms. Addition updates here include gorgeous floor-to-ceiling tile and contemporary fixtures. The extra-large bedroom can easily accommodate a king-size bed and furniture, and storage space, both in the bedroom and dining area, is generous. Custom frosted glass closet doors run throughout creating a consistent design statement in this lovely Gramercy home.

Quaker Ridge is a revered postwar co-op known for its stellar financials and low maintenance. Residents enjoy full-time doorman service and live-in superintendent, modern laundry facilities, bike storage and a residents-only parking garage with direct access to the building. Quaker Ridge allows co-purchasing and pets, but does not permit guarantors or pieds-à-terre. There is an additional energy charge of $79 per month which fluctuates quarterly.

Set in the heart of Gramercy — with immediate access to the Flatiron District, NoMad, Union Square and the East Village — fantastic shopping, dining and nightlife are all within easy reach. Enjoy German food and world-famous Christmas decorations at Rolf's or feast on Italian favorites at historic Pete's Tavern. Gramercy Park, Union Square and Madison Square Park offer outdoor space, phenomenal greenmarkets and year-round events, and transportation is superb with 4/5/6, N/Q/R/W and L trains all nearby.
