21 East 10th Street, 2-DE

OPEN HOUSES BY APPT ONLY. Estate ready to sell! On the market for the first time ever, this 3+ bed, 4 bath Gold Coast home with the most fantastic eat in kitchen is dripping with original details. 21 E 10th Street #2DE is a sprawling prewar corner home in prime Greenwich Village. Currently a 3 bedroom (convertible to 4), it offers the lucky buyer 4 full bathrooms, 2 living rooms, 2 wood-burning fireplaces, 1 enormous eat-in kitchen, 1 separate laundry room, 1 classic entry foyer, 1 mudroom, and countless closets all in a quiet, elevator building with a live-in superintendent and a porter (no doorperson). With tall, double-paned windows under 9ft ceilings and bright, open, leafy views south and east, it feels higher up in the building. No walls are shared and no one lives below you. This estate sale home is in good condition. You can move right in or renovate to fit your lifestyle. Perhaps best of all, the maintenance is under $3300!

Drop your shoes, coat, stroller or scooter in the mudroom before entering the large, classic foyer. This elegant combination apartment has a stellar flow and sense of peace and quiet. Both living rooms are framed with beamed ceilings, arched entryways and bookcases, oak floors and wood-burning fireplaces with original decorative mantels. One living room is currently used as a dining area and a second sitting room but either can easily convert to a fourth bedroom or playroom, or be opened further.

Each of the three, generously-sized bedrooms, all en suite and with large closets, inhabit a different corner of the apartment. In the fourth corner, facing south, is the remarkable kitchen -- truly the heart of this well-loved home. It is massive, filled with custom-designed wood cabinetry and pantries, a window seat with drawers, and a built-in desk with wine storage. The sun-blasted kitchen easily accommodates a table for eight. Stainless appliances, including two Verona wall ovens, a 5 burner cooktop, a French door refrigerator, Bosch microwave and Miele integrated dishwasher, are a cook's delight along with the vast stone countertops and glorious open south views.

The cherry on top is the windowed, vented laundry room with sink and cabinets. Oh, and the maintenance!

The Wordsworth, named after the 19th Century English poet whose love of nature and sympathy for the common man helped launch England's Romantic Age, was built in 1927. Original ironwork and carved panel doors greet you as you enter the intimate yet elegant lobby of this low-key cooperative. Impeccably run and financially sound, the coop boasts a live-in super and a porter, passenger and service elevators, a central laundry and bike storage. Pets are welcome but, sorry, no pieds a terre.
