If you are looking for a bucolic, leafy location with a downtown vibe, Apartment A502 is a must-see! This spacious, light-dappled residence looks directly into the lush, manicured garden from the many windows in all rooms, which provide exceptional light throughout the day.

Anchored by the bright, expansive living/dining combo, you can easily imagine making memories with friends and family when hosting large-scale or intimate gatherings. The updated and beautifully appointed windowed kitchen will delight whether you are a home chef or takeout aficionado with its expansive granite countertops, warm maple cabinetry and a full suite of stainless-steel appliances. When it is time to retire, the commodious bedroom will accommodate a full suite of king furnishings without compromise. The bathroom is fresh and bright, also with a window that offers leafy views! Add classic parquet flooring, closets galore, and check, check, check! If you're thinking a second bedroom, this spacious unit could be converted to a 2BR with the proper approvals. East River Co-ops is comprised of four buildings and was originally built for iron workers in the 1950s. Residents enjoy a 24-hour lobby, fitness center, common laundry, and children’s playrooms. Flexible ownership allows gifting, guarantors, and pied-a-terre ownership. Subletting is permitted, with board approval, after two years of ownership. Sorry, dogs are not permitted.

The park provides jogging paths, tennis courts, baseball and soccer fields as well as an amphitheater. Just a short walk to Trader Joe’s and The Essex Street market, and public transportation provided by many bus lines and the J/M/F/Z subway, and local Citibike stations make this location unbeatable! --
