Welcome to Apartment 2B, a wonderfully spacious, pre-war gem. Here, you can harken back to the era of expansive rooms, beamed ceilings, elegant wood floors with inlayed borders, walls of windows, and plentiful closets. A beautifully renovated, open kitchen flows seamlessly into the oversized living and dining area. It is replete with gorgeous cabinetry, marble countertops, apron sink, brass fixtures and hardware, and houses high end appliances that include a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and Smeg oven and hood. A wall of south-facing windows envelopes both the kitchen and the living space, which has more than enough room for both entertaining and dining. The windowed bathroom, while maintaining original details such as its oversized porcelain tub, has been outfitted with new vanity, sink and countertop. The bedroom is fit for a king, with the bonus of bright western exposure and double closet storage. This is a must see.
Ageloff Towers is a coveted, pre-war co-op located in the heart of the East Village. Building amenities include: live-in super, full time porter, common garden, laundry room, bike room and storage. Whole Foods, Tompkins Square Park, NYU, and the F/M, J/Z and 6 trains all nearby. Maintenance includes electricity, and pets are allowed.
Quick Profile
The East Village has two distinct moods. By day, it is quiet and peaceful. Everyone is out and about, either working or relaxing at Tompkins Square Park, strolling or jogging along the East River, or hanging out in one of the subsets of cultural activity, such as St. Mark’s Place.
But then night falls, and the East Village comes to life, keeping the entertainment and nightlife going long after the other neighborhoods have called it quits for the night. People from all five boroughs flock to the dive bars and speakeasies, head for their favorite cafes and restaurants, or drop in to a music venue to listen to hot tunes or cool jazz and dance the night away. Don’t worry, you don’t have to “know somebody” to gain admittance to even the most popular venues. You won’t find velvet ropes, bouncers, or and a waiting list at the door of most places. Just walk right in and enjoy yourself.
Be prepared for the increased population during fall through spring, when NYU is in session. College students will be everywhere, contributing to the youthful essense of the neighborhood.
