Property Description for 170 John Street, 2-B

Incredibly unique location. Steps from the South Street Seaport piers, this lovely bright and airy spacious one-bedroom, one-bath immaculate condominium boasts renovated kitchen and bathroom with oversized soaking tub, white oak hardwood floors, brand new jumbo Marvin double-glazed and double-hung windows (almost floor to ceiling), stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting on dimmers throughout, "green" fireplace, high ceilings, independent central air/heating unit, washer/dryer across the hall, beautiful partial views of Brooklyn Bridge and unique tree-lined street, with tons of closet space and a 40sf storage unit included with the purchase of the apartment. Unlike the large overcrowded high rises in the Financial District, the Ships Chanderly Condominium is an extremely private boutique landmarked condominium in the historical South Street Seaport district where low rise brick buildings and cobblestoned streets mean charm, exclusivity and privacy. Listed on the National List of Historical Places, the Ships Chanderly is a six-story Greek Revival building erected in 1840 and converted to a charming 15 unit condominium in the 1982. It is one of possible two surviving Greek Revival buildings in New York City. This unique loft-like building is located on the tree-lined stretch of John Street, in the hip South Street Seaport historic neighborhood, close to gourmet food shopping and eateries. If you work in FiDi, you are steps away from work, the South Street Seaport and all the restaurants, bar and shops. Close to Pier 15 and East River Esplanade, and many conveniences and shopping. Close to all subway lines and the PATH, and Pier 11 ferry, much more to name ... Pets and subleasing allowed. Investor friendly. Low common charges and taxes.

Financial District | Manhattan

Quick Profile

The Financial District (FiDi) today is a bit of a hybrid neighborhood, as the residential component continues to grow in an area that has been historically dominated by the financial and insurance industries. The residential experiment, which began more than two decades ago, continues to evolve in an area with a large concentration of older, large office buildings. Developers have taken to these aged buildings and have re-positioned them as residential properties. In turn, the public spaces, services and retail establishments needed for a thriving residential neighborhood have followed making this an important destination for city residents.

Since 2000, the residential population of the Financial District has nearly tripled in size from about 23,000 residents to more than 60,000 inhabitants. Many of the residential pioneers to FiDi were people attracted to the lower rents in the neighborhood, particularly the post-collegiate crowd. While the millennials still maintain a large footprint here, there are plenty of families that now consider the Wall Street area home. 

Many of those that live in the Financial District walk to work. If you reside here and need to commute elsewhere, the transportation from here is about as good as it gets. Express trains can take you to Midtown, either east or west, in twenty minutes. Brooklyn is but a single subway stop away. There are also ferries across to Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.
