250 Bowery, 5-D

As the very first resale of this quiet, bright and immaculately kept home with magnificent southwest sunset views over Nolita and Soho, apartment 5D at the award-winning 250 Bowery Condominium is simply as good as it gets. Bathed in sunlight, this flawless corner apartment sits on a high floor and offers an uncommon level of tranquility, privacy, and enviable urban landscape and sky views. Low monthlies, A+ location, arguably the best line in the most celebrated building on Bowery, and the large (highly coveted $35k value) owner-purchased storage cage included all ensure comfort, value, and quality of life in this home.

The apartment is perfect - a peaceful jewel-box of a home, impeccably finished and tastefully outfitted, and flooded with warm natural light throughout. As you enter the main room thought the home's wide comfortable entry foyer, the building's signature oversized floor-ceiling casement windows give a sense of open loftiness. Serving as the focal living and dining area, this room features custom intelligent built-in storage, fantastic Nolita/Soho rooftop sunset views, and an elegant open-concept kitchen (rich slab Carrara marble counter & backsplash, custom Italian white-matte cabinetry, Miele speed oven and gas cooktop, vented Broan hood, Bosch dishwasher and Sub-Zero refrigerator with integrated front panels, deep Blanco stainless steel sink with garbage disposal, Grohe faucet with pullout spray, and plenty of storage). The large bathroom features a full-sized W/D with overhead storage, polished white glass and marble finishes, custom vanity with integrated sink and Hansgrohe fixtures, custom medicine cabinet, Duravit soft-close toilet, and Zuma deep soaking tub with Grohe fixtures. Pass through a windowed foyer area into the serene bedroom, which offers a deep double-closet alongside secluded peace and quiet, perfect for proper rest or an afternoon nap. Additional features here include wide-plank white Oak flooring, central heat and A/C, and high ceilings with recessed lighting. This home easily serves as a perfect pied-a-terre, investment, or of course a spectacular primary residence.

Singularly striking in design and stature, 250 Bowery has completely reset the standards for downtown boutique full-service condominiums. With its impressive glass and metal industrial-inspired faade, the Morris Adjmi designed project houses 24 gorgeous homes and offers 24/7 attended lobby, a stunning furnished and landscaped roof terrace with incredible downtown views, bike storage, and (for a few lucky owners) large private storage cages. With the Pritzker Prize-winning architect SANAA's critically-acclaimed New Museum and Pritzker Prize-winning architect Sir Norman Foster's gallery building for Sperone Westwater right across the street (and the International Center of Photography in-house at 250 Bowery's own downstairs exhibition space), the location simply can't be beat. Step out your door right into the center of downtown cool - Soho, Nolita, Noho, East Village, Lower East Side, and all the fantastic galleries, boutiques, restaurants, cafe's and downtown creative energy unique to this area. Spectacular Condo oasis in the center of it all. (note: current existing assessment of $187/mo)
