111 East 10th Street, 18

Located on arguably the most beautiful block in the East Village, this sleeping beauty is waiting to be awakened by a prince with imagination and great appreciation of pre-war aesthetics. On the garden level in this mid-19th century row of 6 pre-Civil War townhouses within the St Marks Historic District this huge one bedroom floor through apartment, in estate condition, represents a rare opportunity to create your dream home filled with period details throughout such as moldings, original glass door with edged glasses, wood floors, and grace and elegance left over from the 19th Century. Both, the bedroom and the living room are over-sized and have decorative fireplaces (can be made work) with original details, the bedroom one with its original marble mantle. The extension of the living room is a separate dining room with open access to a hidden oasis, the coops lush, expansive rear common garden with a fountain, birds and occasional bell sounds from St Marks Church nearby. The well-managed cooperative consists of 29 residences and has an expansive common garden, live-in superintendent, basement storage lockers available for rent and bicycle storage. The building has a no smoking policy. Pets are welcome and subleasing allowed with board approval. Sorry, no pied-a-terres are allowed.
