They don't make them like this anymore. One flight up in a white-and-green jewel box of a building on East 10th Streetarguably the most charming block in the East Villageyou'll find a floorthrough apartment that feels plucked from a richer, more spacious era. The ceilings soar. The proportions breathe. Light spills in from both ends: to the north, wide windows overlook the quiet charm of 10th Street; to the south, sun dances across the backyard garden where the oldest fig tree in the East Village still bears fruit. This home is singular. A sprawling, loft-like one-bedroom with the volume and presence of a townhouse parlor floor. The layout has never been carved up, never diminished. Its elegance remains intacta rare integrity in a city of chopped-up spaces and vanishing detail. There is in-unit laundry. Closets abound. The cross-breeze, when the windows are open, is almost mythiclike something from a summer in Provence. The building itself is impeccably cared for by an owner of rare discernment, who resides onsite and once called this very apartment home. Listings here are few and far between; rarer still is a residence of this caliber. Apartment 2 is more expansive than most three- and four-bedrooms nearby, but with the soul of a true artist's haven. It has not been available in decades. Step inside and you'll understand why.
