205 East 16th Street, 4-A

An Idyllic NYC Lifestyle. 4A is a magnificent, loft-style 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath corner apartment, with dramatic 18 foot ceilings, full height windows and newly exposed architectural beams. Its gracious, south-facing, light-filled living space, with Smart electricity and custom electric blinds, makes this the ultimate in Gramercy living. The focal staircase, free-standing with its glass treads providing natural light through its open risers, leads to a roomy secluded suite with full height glass panels and sliding doors allowing this second floor bedroom or work area to overlook the living room and beyond. Includes a sizable closet for plenty of storage space and separate entry. The glass treads are also individually lit for a mood-enhancing, modern touch. A Carrara clad bathroom completes this suite, and includes the enclosed Miele W/D. Primary suite has fantastic views of St. George's Church and Stuyvesant Square Park to the east, and a row of historic brownstones to the south. Soaring 18 foot ceilings, massive windows and plenty of sky highlight this generous corner room. The accompanying bath features radiant heated floors and the under-lit sink comes with a built in Bluetooth speaker. A sizable marble powder room is built around an exposed architectural beam - one of many details that resonate throughout the apartment. The handsome open chef’s kitchen, with Miele appliances and SieMatic cabinetry, is perfect for cooking and entertaining with the separate dining area which can easily transform from intimate to formal. Ample closets, recessed lighting. Building has full-service staff consisting of a 24/7 doorman, porter and live-in super. Designed by Leopold Eidlitz and Charles Otto Blesch in the Romanesque Revival style, The Abbey has earned a place in history as one of New York’s most historic buildings. Built in 1888 as the Parish House of the St. George Church, it was converted into 31 condominiums in 2005. Located along a quiet, tree-lined block, ending at Rutherford Place and the tranquil Stuyvesant Square Park; which includes a dog park, gardens perfect for daydreaming, sipping coffee, getting lost in the pages of a book or if you just want the semblance of absolute nature. *No through-traffic between Third and Second Avenues. Minutes away from top restaurants, shopping, and entertainment, near public transportation: subway, bus and Citibikes.
