431 East 12th Street, 3-A

This rarely available classic condo loft is a true gem, located in the quiet northern end of the East Village in a discreet five story building. This handsomely detailed approx. forty foot long open space home is two flights up and has nine foot ceilings with exposed beams. The home is bright, sunny, and full of warmth and charm, offering a gracious view of an adjoining green roof and neighboring low rise residential buildings. The rear facing outdoor balcony is big enough for a cafe table and a pair of chairs. There's an entry foyer, home office alcove, large closet and storage space, spacious bathroom with full sized washer, an open galley kitchen with dishwasher and counter top fridge/freezer. Central cooling is from a high end, outside mounted Friedrich inverter air conditioner.

The location provides easy access to Union Square and public transit, including the cross town "L" train, two short blocks away. East River ferries plus the running and bike path along the river are right nearby. The condo application process is simple and efficient. The building allows cats but sorry no dogs as pets and definitely no smokers.
