Is there anything on your shopping list that is not in this home?
This is a duplex apartment in a historic two unit, four-story brownstone. One couldn't ask for a better situation than this. Steps to everything New York has to offer: The film forum, Washington Square Park and NYU, plus great restaurants and a small little-known park are all within a few steps. Located so close to Little Italy, NYU and Chinatown make this neighborhood most desirable for its charming retro feel. Many renovated brownstones line the streets of this neighborhood. This makes this location a modern family's dream home.
