This oversized, pin-drop quiet, prewar one-bedroom is located at 170 Second Avenue, an historic 1929 art deco doorman building that is the East Village's preeminent full-service co-operative. A formal entry foyer leads to a large, bright south facing living room that is the center of this exquisite home. The large adjacent windowed eat-in kitchen is ready for a renovation, or perhaps a restoration that incorporates the original, tall solid wood wall cabinets and enameled cast iron drainboard sink. The quiet and spacious king sized corner bedroom has two windows and the original cedar-lined closet. The adjacent windowed bathroom could also use a refresh, but still boasts the original, recently reglazed 5.5' foot soaking tub, metal medicine cabinet, and some original fixtures. Much of the original crackled black and white wall tile is still intact. Other highlights of this lovely home include just refinished original parquet oak flooring in great condition, all original solid wood doors and glass knobs, beamed ceilings, and moldings throughout. There is ample closet space, including an extra-large linen closet and coat closet. This classic one bedroom home is in the heart of one of Manhattan's most vibrant neighborhoods and close to fantastic restaurants, Union Square, Astor Place, Tompkins Square Park and public transportation. 170 Second Avenue is a majestic prewar jewel in the East Village with an extraordinary lobby featuring original terrazzo floors, brass chandeliers, Art Deco murals and a mahogany-paneled elevator. The lobby and elevators recently underwent a full restoration, and the building is impeccably maintained by a wonderful staff including 24 hour doorman, porters, and a live-in superintendent. Features include central laundry, storage and bike rooms. It is located across the street from historic St. Mark's Church, and is near fantastic restaurants, Union Square, Astor Place, Tompkins Square Park and plentiful public transportation.
