The home's main living level is designed on a grand scale, with oversized windows filling the space with natural light and creating an effortless connection between the living, dining, and kitchen areas. A wood-burning fireplace adds warmth to the living room, while custom built-ins provide both display space and storage. At the center of the home, the open staircase and glass railings create a striking architectural focal point and allow light to travel between the two levels.
Designed equally for everyday living and entertaining, the open kitchen is anchored by a substantial island with seating and complemented by extensive cabinetry and open shelving. A Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch appliances, double ovens, and a built-in wine refrigerator complete the space.
The main level also includes two bedrooms, a flexible room, two full bathrooms, a powder room, in-unit washer and dryer, generous storage, and a private balcony. Upstairs, the primary suite creates a more secluded retreat, with a walk-in closet and an oversized bathroom featuring a freestanding soaking tub, separate shower, and double vanity.
Outdoors, the expansive private roof terrace feels like a true extension of the home. Multiple areas provide ample space for dining, lounging, and entertaining with open city views, while an outdoor kitchen and outdoor shower add another dimension to the space.
Central air conditioning, multiple exposures, abundant storage, and direct elevator access to both levels complete a residence distinguished by its privacy, indoor-outdoor living, and architectural character.

Quick Profile
Bursting with energy at every turn, the Lower East Side is one of the most historic neighborhoods in all of Manhattan. Rooted in immigrant history, the bulk of European and Eastern European migration that occurred in the late nineteenth through the early twentieth century took place here, where the Tenement Museum remains one of the best ways to become acquainted with how early residents of the neighborhood lived.
The unique and eclectic mix of building styles--ranging from low- and high-rises to luxury and historic buildings--begins immediately upon entering the area via the Manhattan or Brooklyn Bridge, known as Two Bridges, itself a neighborhood that has also long been known for its immigrant population. With its historic district placed in the National Register of Historic Places, many of its oldest churches, such as Mariners Temple and St. James Church remain a preserved part of the district’s storied past.
While the LES has long been a hub for aspiring musicians and artists, the area has increasingly transformed its demographic as it welcomes a more affluent sect of residents with the advent of condos and luxury spaces.
