209 E 2ND Street #3, New York City, NY 10009

A rare find in the East Village: Full floor loft in a boutique, pre-war condo building, with key-lock elevator, wood-burning fireplace, and corner exposure with 17 windows offering magnificent light and vibrant street views of this lively corner of the lower East Village/LES. This two-bedroom, with two full bathrooms and an attractive blend of modern and industrial design, is in excellent move-in condition and offers a level of comfort that matches the level of convenience of this East Village location.

Entering directly from the elevator, past the windowed guest bathroom, into this bright and generously sized loft, the sense of comfort and calm is immediately felt. The expansive living area is perfectly proportioned and anchored by a fully-appointed open chef's kitchen with breakfast bar, premium appliances - SubZero fridge, GE Monogram stove with a vented Bosch hood, Asko dishwasher, Insinkerator disposal - and a copious amount of custom oak cabinetry storage. A wood-burning fireplace is set into a wall of exposed brick opposite from a run of north-facing windows that provide pleasant even light throughout the day. Gleaming refinished pine wood floors, Venetian plaster walls and the exposed brick lend a subtle feeing of distinctive texture to this modern home.

Down the hallway, beyond the guest bedroom and a hidden alcove of display shelving and deep closet storage, is a luxurious primary bedroomsuite occupying the corner space, with two walls of oversized windows and a striking view of the surrounding buildings. A massive spa-like en-suite bathroom, with ceramic and limestone tiling, features a large Zuma dual air Jacuzzi deep-soaking tub, separate rain head shower stall and towel warmer. Additional features include dual-zoned, Nest controlled central HVAC, Runtal radiator system, Miele washer/dryer and basement storage space.

Built in 1900, this former commercial building was converted into six full floor residential condos in 2008. Great (and real!) neighborhood location: welcoming tree lined block; mom and pop stores; supermarket at your doorstep; a run of fantastic restaurants and bars up and down Avenue B; Subway only 3 blocks away. Citibike station across the street. Dog run at Tompkins Square Park, 5 blocks away. Easy access to East Village and Lower East Side nightlife.
