Property Description for 242 East 5th Street, 1

Stunning owner's duplex with large landscaped garden. Walk into a unique and spacious parlor with 11'4'' ceilings and all original details from the Greek columns and pocket doors to the gilded pier mirror and wide wood plank floors throughout.
The newly renovated kitchen complements the original decor with custom cherry cabinets, top-of-the-line appliances, including a Miele dishwasher and Viking Range.
On the garden level, there are two large bedrooms. The bedroom facing the garden has a decorative fireplace and connecting bathroom with claw-foot tub that overlooks the garden. The front room also adorns a fireplace and has a view of the street. A huge walk-in closet connects the two bedrooms. A second bathroom with a shower is located in the hallway. The south facing, professionally landscaped, and organically maintained garden is a quiet oasis where you can relax and entertain guests.
Here is a treat, a semi-finished private basement with room for extra office space, bedroom or extra storage, still plenty of room for the Bosch washer and dryer.
Do not miss an opportunity to have a piece of this authentic and beautifully restored Greek Revival brownstone in the East Village.

Water and heat included in the rent.
Dogs allowed on a case-by-case basis.

East Village | Manhattan

Quick Profile

The East Village has two distinct moods. By day, it is quiet and peaceful. Everyone is out and about, either working or relaxing at Tompkins Square Park, strolling or jogging along the East River, or hanging out in one of the subsets of cultural activity, such as St. Mark’s Place. 

But then night falls, and the East Village comes to life, keeping the entertainment and nightlife going long after the other neighborhoods have called it quits for the night. People from all five boroughs flock to the dive bars and speakeasies, head for their favorite cafes and restaurants, or drop in to a music venue to listen to hot tunes or cool jazz and dance the night away. Don’t worry, you don’t have to “know somebody” to gain admittance to even the most popular venues. You won’t find velvet ropes, bouncers, or and a waiting list at the door of most places. Just walk right in and enjoy yourself.

Be prepared for the increased population during fall through spring, when NYU is in session. College students will be everywhere, contributing to the youthful essense of the neighborhood.
