Architectural Digest Quality Prewar 1BR/2 Bath Triple Threat:
1000SF Private Garden, 10 Foot Ceilings & Working Fireplace

645 East 11th Street is a beautiful downtown 19th Century prewar condo one bedroom maisonette in the Village with a large private garden. Designed for luxury and comfort, the apartment has everything you will ever need: 2 Waterworks baths, top of the line lighting from Urban Archaeology, a chef's kitchen with tiled open shelves and a six-foot island, a large dining alcove big enough for a proper dining table, tons of storage, a working wood burning fireplace, and a washer-drier. And last but not least, there's a 1000SF private garden measuring twenty by fifty feet and backing up against twenty-five-foot-high old brick building, creating privacy and quiet. Unlike most garden apartments there are high ten foot ceilings. Plus, there is a lot of storage: there are floor to ceiling entry way closets, the dining area has a built in banquette with storage, the bedroom has an enormous ten foot by eight-foot walk-in closet plus two custom armoires and a basement 8×6 private locker. The walls are exposed brick and the floors are hardwood. The interior reflects the owner's extensive travels to Asia and Bali: there are ceiling fans from the Metropole Hotel in Vietnam, a Tucker Robbins six-inch-thick Sri Lankan Rosewood fireplace mantel, and 19th century reclaimed paneled mahogany doors. Outside in the private garden, this theme continues where the ten-foot garden walls are fenced with horizontal teak planks and planted with a bamboo trees in large teak planters. The garden has several seating areas including a twenty-foot concrete patio, a dining area which has a six-foot marble dining table and chairs, a fire pit and chairs, plus Japanese-style white sectionals creating an outdoor living room seating that you will use nine months out of the year. The carrying charges are unusually low and amount to $625 a month. There is central air and heat as well as a washer/drier in the unit. The building is a small seven-unit condominium and has low taxes. It is pet friendly and Pied a Terres and guarantors are allowed. The apartment is close to the subway and cross town buses for easy commuting. The block has become a destination with top restaurants located there, including Virginia's and Fiaschetteria.
