201 East 21st Street, 11-G

Wide-open eastern views are your dramatic backdrop in this serene and spacious alcove studio at Quaker Ridge, one of Gramercy's most respected cooperatives. Perched on the 11th floor, this expansive unit welcomes you home with a wall of east-facing windows that clear the neighboring buildings for breathtaking open-sky outlooks and glorious natural light. Thanks to its position at the rear of the building, the home also enjoys a wonderful sense of peace and privacy. Beautiful hardwood floors invite you to discover a large dining area, perfect as a home office, leading to a spacious living area. Swinging doors open to the kitchen, where you'll find generous cabinet space and stainless steel appliances. The sleeping alcove easily accommodates a queen-size bed, and two roomy closets lead to the full bathroom featuring floor-to-ceiling tile and a large tub/shower. Another spacious closet in the entry and a new HVAC unit complete this impressive studio. Move right into this beautifully positioned unit, or bring your contractor to create your Gramercy dream home by converting the layout to a one-bedroom or opening up the kitchen with a breakfast bar — two common G line updates. Please note, there is a monthly energy charge of $63 which is included in the maintenance. Quaker Ridge is a classic white brick postwar co-op known for its excellent financials, low monthly maintenance and prime location just steps from Gramercy Park. Residents enjoy full-time doorman service, live-in superintendent, newly updated hallways, laundry, bike storage and a residents-only parking garage with direct access to the building. Quaker Ridge allows co-purchasing and pets but does not permit guarantors or pieds-à-terre. Located just minutes from Union Square, the Flatiron District and NoMad, this home is at the heart of exciting Manhattan living with abundant shops, restaurants, services and outdoor space at every turn. Access to transportation is fantastic with 4/5/6, N/Q/R/W and L trains, excellent bus service and CitiBikes nearby.
