NEW PHOTO'S JUST ADDED! Not virtual, but real images, show all 1,353 square feet, same layout, of another apartment post-architect's renovation. No need to imagine the possibilities, here they are in actual images: An open kitchen, walls removed creating a loft-like living space, discreetly tucked away pocket-doors, a glass-enclosed shower replaced a tub, dark plank floors - Rarely does an opportunity like this become available at The East River Housing Corp., but here it is, with two full baths (not one-and-a-half, but two full baths!), plus an enclosed balcony overlooking a private park.

The flexible floor plan currently features an eat-in-kitchen equipped with stainless appliances, neatly flowing into a bright, windowed space. Easily used as a Dining Room, Home Office, or Den, with the ability to open up the space, convert this room into whatever your imagination allows. As is, the generously sized living room, nearly 18' by 14', has our windows to let in the light, an enclosed nook perfect for a remote work station, or storage, and balcony access through a clear glass door. Just down the hall are the second and third bedrooms, and second full bath. The huge Main Bedroom, nearly 13' x 12.5', has two windows overlooking our park, three closets, and en suite bath.

Right outside our building's doors transportation choices abound. The M14A, M22, and M21 busses, two Citibike stations, and the New York City Ferry are all close by. Subways include the J, M, Z, and F trains right next to the wonderful new Essex Market, where you will find a host of shops offering a variety of food vendors on the main floor, The Market Line shops down below, and the Regal Essex Crossing Movie Theater up above. A new Trader Joe's and Target have come to the lower east side, too!

East River residents enjoy lawns, plantings, benches and playgrounds in our our two parks, 24-Hour attended lobbies, an upgraded 24-hour laundry room, children's playroom, and ground floor gym. Bicycle Storage and Parking, all fee-based are subject to waitlists, and unlimited subletting is permitted after two years of occupancy - surcharges apply. Pets are allowed, but dogs are not permitted.

Nearby East River Park's reconstruction is underway, where new recreation fields, courts, track and field, playgrounds, and water play areas are coming. Once completed, waterfront embayment's will allow park users to get down to the water, plus a rebuilt amphitheater, tennis house, track house, and modern restrooms are on the way, too. Come by anytime, we'll be happy to show you around!
