This oversized one-bedroom home with extraordinary downtown views is located at 170 Second Avenue, the East Village’s preeminent full-service co-operative. A meticulous renovation respects the character of this historic 1929 art deco building, while bringing it completely up-to-date, marrying the historic period to today’s aesthetic. The large, bright south-facing living room boasts open views over the East Village and beyond. The adjacent, spacious windowed chef’s kitchen is equipped with Silestone countertops, fireclay white glazed thin brick backsplash, and a full suite of upscale appliances including stainless steel Summit Professional refrigerator, Kitchen Aid range, Faber hood, Bosch dishwasher, Insinkerator garbage disposal, N'finity Pro 30 Wine/Beverage Center, and GE Profile microwave and trash compactor.

The deluxe, windowed four fixture bathroom is luxuriously appointed with dual sinks with marble counter and built-in vanity, a large walk-in shower with Axor fixtures and marble bench, heated marble tile flooring, and a dedicated electric outlet for a Washlet Toto commode. Other highlights of this lovely home include its own small laundry room with Bosch Axxis washer and dryer, upgraded double pane windows, extra large coat closet and customized closet systems, restored original parquet oak flooring, beamed ceilings, and through-wall air conditioning. 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 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.
