170 Second Ave, 16-B

This extraordinary two-bedroom corner residence with Empire State, Chrysler and open city skyline views, is located at 170 Second Avenue, the East Village's preeminent cooperative at the corner of 11th Street. OFFERED FURNISHED, this refined home is a "modern classic." Completely remodeled from top to bottom, its high design, attention to detail, and functional elegance are evident throughout. The renovations respect the character of this historic 1929 building, while bringing it completely up-to-date, replacing plumbing and electricity, and choosing new finishes and fixtures that marry the historic period to a more contemporary aesthetic.

A grand central gallery opens thru french doors to the oversized living room. Flooded with light, this western facing room overlooks the historic Saint Mark’s church and the charming diagonal tree-lined Stuyvesant Street, and often boasts amazing sunset views. This room has a clever corner “library” where floor-to-ceiling bookcases are finished in detailed crown molding that adds to the prewar charm of the home.

On the other side of the entrance gallery is the perfect open kitchen and dining room. This sophisticated and inviting space prominently features an exceptional Bulthaup kitchen, outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances including Gaggenau steam oven, induction cooktop, and refrigerator, and a Miele dishwasher, all seamlessly integrated in the soft touch lacquer cabinetry. The sleek space also features an abundance of storage and a striking stainless steel island. Flanking the kitchen is the formal dining area with an Antique French Country dining table, all of which overlooks the Manhattan skyline with Empire State and Chrysler building views. This room also has a wall-mounted Bang & Olufsen television, and a separate laundry area by the service entrance with a stacked Miele washer and dryer.

The corner master bedroom has beamed ceilings, and features two deep closets with custom shelving and built-ins. Three north and western facing windows overlook the historic St. Mark’s Church to the west and provide sprawling skyline views to the north. The second bedroom, which also overlooks St Mark’s church, features French hand painted wallpaper, and contains an inviting built-in window seat, bookshelves, and plenty of closet space.

Off the bedrooms is the windowed full bathroom. This spa-like space has a “wet room” that includes a claw foot tub and a rain shower, and is finished in floor-to-ceiling Calcutta marble. All fixtures are unlacquered brass by Waterworks. Rounding out the home is stylish powder room with hand-painted De Gournay wallpaper.
