242 E 7th St APT 4, Manhattan, NY 10009

When will you ever get the chance again to live in an amazing landmarked former synagogue and architectural gem in the prime East Village! Now a boutique cooperative, 242 East 7th Street (the former Beth Hamedrash Hagadol Anshe Synagogue, meaning “Great House of Study of the People of Hungary”) was designed by the New York architects Gross & Kleinberger in 1908 and converted to 5 incredibly unique co-op residences in 1985. Apartment 4 in this rare landmarked gem is an absolutely fabulous triplex one-bedroom loft with a home office and generous private outdoor space. Light, bright interiors are very spacious and airy, and beautifully designed with a thoughtful layout over 3 levels, affording numerous options for usage. The chic main floor boasts a gracious open floorplan for entertaining, featuring expansive living and dining areas, and sleek, stunning open kitchen with an island for the chef. Lovely hardwood floors, stained glass window accents, high ceilings, abundant closet space, tasteful moldings and built-ins, a convenient powder room and washer-dryer enhance the ambiance. The second floor loft area is reserved for a study, home office or sleeping quarters, complete with a walk-in closet with custom built-ins and a full bathroom. Level 3 is occupied by the primary bedroom retreat, bathed in sunlight with a wall of glass, large closet and en-suite bath. The real attraction here is having access to the huge, breathtaking outdoor garden/terrace oasis which is perfect for alfresco dining, cocktail parties, or simply lounging in the sun. Located on one of the prettiest, most sought-after streets in the East Village, this special property offers a video intercom system and has no underlying mortgage.
