2 Charlton Street, 11-E

For your consideration, presenting what is arguably the highest quality apartment currently on the market at 2 Charlton Street.

Apartment 11E is a high floor, corner 2 bedroom/2 bath, a line that rarely comes up for sale and almost never on an upper floor.

Panoramic views both north and east define this apartment - you are wrapped in an amazing urban tableau. A soup to nuts renovation was completed in 2019. The windowed kitchen includes a Viking stove and refrigerator, a Sharp microwave drawer and a Bosch dishwasher, plus an in-sink garbage disposal and a water filtration system. The master bath (also windowed) feature gray-veined Carrera marble floors with radiant heat, a Porcelanosa vanity, waterworks fixtures, and a spacious walk-in shower. The second bath has a bathtub-cum-shower and is finished with the same marble and tasteful attention to high end fixtures. The corner master bedroom easily fits a King-sized bed from which you can see the Empire State lit up at night and is not contiguous with other apartments; the second bedroom, which looks east, gets bright morning light and a sweeping Soho vista, making it endlessly cheerful and a great space for work or sleep. In-ceiling Sose speakers make for a sound system that can cater head to toe to your every mood in any and every corner of the apartment. All this plus ample closet storage, completely reimagined wide plank hardwood floors throughout, radiator covers, and an open, sprawling sense of space.

The building is a post-war, meticulously-managed co-op with personnel (doormen; live-in super; maintenance) who rarely leave. There is a garage in the building which operates separately but has an elevator to the lobby, pets are welcome, and parents can purchase for working children. There is a high-tech laundry room and washer/dryers can be installed in the units with board approval. The common first-floor garden, with several seating areas, is a wonderful lush place to have morning coffee, lunch, or simply read a good book or have a great conversation with neighbors.

This block of Charlton Street is routinely voted one of the best in the city, lined with leafy trees and historic townhouses. A very active and engaged block association is in place. Father Fagan Park, across Sixth Avenue and recently renovated, is a great place to relax and watch the SoHo buzz go by. You are also near the Whitney Museum, the Chelsea art galleries, the Meatpacking District, downtown off-Broadway theaters, public and private schools, some of the best food in the city (restaurants, bakeries, wine stores, artisan emporiums, famous labels) and a recently added Trader Joe's on Spring Street. The stretch of Varick Street a block away is a burgeoning tech corridor, with Google's new campus the central feature but many smaller start-ups and companies procuring office space and attracting new services. The building itself is something of an oasis - a quiet corner between very active pockets of city living, a great plus if you work at home. If not, there are subway lines a block west (the 1 train) and a block south (the C line) and the east side trains are a simple walk across Prince Street.

You cannot do better than this. Please call - this is my 24th sale in the building and I have answers to most questions. All showings are by appointment only and will begin on and not before April 24.
