This all-new 4-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom triplex offers a luxurious indoor-outdoor living experience. Rejuvenate your senses in the atmosphere of a chic contemporary art gallery and 4 (four!) private outdoor spaces, tucked on a quintessentially charming block in the East Village.
La Botanica is a boutique, 5-residence condominium development situated directly across the street from a botanical garden. Designed by DXA Studio, the modern, midblock residence offers an exquisite oasis just moments from hip restaurants and shops as well as Tompkins Square Park and countless neighborhood attractions. La Botanica's biophilic design philosophy brings the outdoors inside while maximizing light, fresh air, and intimate streetscape views.
Residence 1 is a one-of-a-kind triplex that unfurls around a wood-and-glass architectural stair and a series of open-air light courts. Terraces at all three levels provide natural light and outdoor access via insulated glass walls. Daylight brings out the natural luster of the wide-plank American black walnut flooring, which contrasts with crisp white interior detailing.
The main living level includes a 450-square-foot private deck - think birdsongs, a canopy of mature trees, and potted plants screening your generous outdoor lounge at the rear of the property - that flows directly off the open kitchen, dining and living spaces. Perfect for entertaining or as a private oasis, the living area faces the lush botanical garden to the south through a rare 23-foot-wide glass wall with two French balconies.
Quick Profile
The East Village has two distinct moods. By day, it is quiet and peaceful. Everyone is out and about, either working or relaxing at Tompkins Square Park, strolling or jogging along the East River, or hanging out in one of the subsets of cultural activity, such as St. Mark’s Place.
But then night falls, and the East Village comes to life, keeping the entertainment and nightlife going long after the other neighborhoods have called it quits for the night. People from all five boroughs flock to the dive bars and speakeasies, head for their favorite cafes and restaurants, or drop in to a music venue to listen to hot tunes or cool jazz and dance the night away. Don’t worry, you don’t have to “know somebody” to gain admittance to even the most popular venues. You won’t find velvet ropes, bouncers, or and a waiting list at the door of most places. Just walk right in and enjoy yourself.
Be prepared for the increased population during fall through spring, when NYU is in session. College students will be everywhere, contributing to the youthful essense of the neighborhood.
