573 Grand Street, D-1606

Get the best view of Manhattan in Manhattan. The East River Coops are known for their breathtaking views, but not all views in the Coops are equal. The high floors of the D block of the 573 building are the only apartments with a full-picture window facing south to the World Trade Center, direct line of site down Madison, and a balcony that faces S/W onto the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. The result is a stunningly open feel with year-round light and river views from every room. Apartment D1606 was renovated in 2007 with an open floor plan connecting a kitchen that has all stainless steel appliances, custom wood cabinets, and a massive limestone counter designed for entertaining with a spacious and bright living room and a small dining nook. The oversized entryway includes three large closets. The master bedroom has two closets and plenty of room for a full bedroom set, dresser, and a desk. The second bedroom is nearly as large, with a closet, a two-window view of the river, and a built-in double desk. A simple, functional bathroom with much of the original art-deco detail sits between the two bedrooms. The East River Coop features a newly renovated gym, two private parks, a 24 hour in-building lobby attendant, community room, playroom, and in-building laundry. It sits directly across from the newly renovated East River Park and is blocks away from Essex Crossing (essexcrossingnyc.com), a 1.9 million sq/ft development, which is bringing a Trader Joes, movie theater, bowling alley, museums and much more to the neighborhood. Motivated sellers are forced to part with this rare, up-and-coming property as they are leaving the country this summer.
