Back inside, the apartment's flexible floor plan can be retrofitted into a large 2-bedroom home or even a functional 4-bedroom home. An open-plan windowed kitchen with granite countertops is complemented by quality stainless steel appliances (5-burner gas cooktop, oven, dishwasher, and refrigerator) and plenty of storage space for all your cooking needs.

A large primary bedroom includes two large windows while the second bedroom enjoys Southern exposures with double width windows. A spacious windowed bathroom offers a deep soaking tub with large built-in marble deck, plenty of closet space, Miele washing machine, hookup for a ventless dryer, and its own hot water heater/boiler to control the temperature to your liking. The powder room could be built-out to provide a full bathroom (see alternate floor plan).

Private, peaceful, and secluded, this rare sanctuary is located in an enviable position on one of the best blocks in the East Village in a handsome turn-of-the-century building.
