Appliances by Viking and Miele, including a wine refrigerator and built-in coffee machine, add to the convenience of the design. The principal bedroom occupies the coveted corner of the unit, with exposures to the east and to the south, offering semi-open downtown views.

The en-suite bathroom has an oversized vanity, a separate soaking tub, storage recesses, and more than ample storage.

It has a dedicated bathroom directly across the hall, which also serves as the guest bathroom. Additional features of the apartment are a washer/dryer, a newly updated HVAC system, and a private office space, which also offers additional storage. Built in 1883 as the home of Gorham Silver Company, 889 Broadway was built by Edward Hale Kendall in the Queen Anne style. Converted to co-operative in 1977, the building now offers residents a full-time superintendent, a landscaped roof deck, a video intercom system, and a private keyed elevator. 889 Broadway is moment away from Union Square, with its green market and myriad transportation options; Madison Square Park; dozens of restaurants, both fine dining and casual; gyms like Equinox, Chelsea Piers Fitness, and Lifetime; and a near-endless supply of shops and activities.
