Make a piece of NYC history your own. This spacious, bright Lower East Side, prewar 1 bed/1 bath co-op is located in one of the earliest NYC coop communities, the Amalgamated Dwellings. This unique, fourth floor unit overlooks the interior courtyard gardens and fountain, offering a respite from the bustling (though convenient) neighborhood around you. Off the terrazzo landing, the unit opens to a wide gallery with a full wall of custom shelves and drawers, providing ample space for books, storage and decor. Lovingly maintained by previous owners, prewar charm has been preserved throughout; plaster walls, picture rails, shadow box moldings, original solid metal and wood doors, glass door knobs, and a number of original kitchen and bath fixtures. The large windowed eat-in kitchen still retains the original enameled cast iron sink and furniture quality built in cabinetry. Appliances are 3-5 years old including a dishwasher. There is plenty of space to customize and add additional cabinets and counter space to fit your needs. This spacious kitchen also has enough room for a table that can seat four. The unique layout of the living room with bright N/W facing windows directly over the fountain allows for various arrangements and uses. Besides setting up a full living room, the large room has bonus space for a home office, toddler room, or a closed off sleeping area to accommodate out of town guests. The quiet and tranquil corner bedroom has North and West exposures, the latter with views of the fountain (and from Spring through Fall, the tranquil sound through open windows). The room is large enough for a king size bed and a wall of closet cabinets. Just off the bedroom is a recently and tastefully updated all-white bathroom with original refinished cast iron soaking tub and new Carrera marble tile floors. Built in 1930 and located on Grand St on the Lower East Side, Amalgamated Dwellings were specifically designed to provide direct sunlight to each apartment. Still retaining their original charm the property is known for the original Art Deco details, including intricate plaster work, high ceilings, windowed hallways, original elevators, and wide entrance archways. There are laundry facilities, a gym, a community room, bicycle storage, on-site storage units, package room, 24 hour security, and full-time maintenance staff. The coop is conveniently located close to a number of subways (F, J, M, Z, B, D) and has easy access to FDR Drive and Williamsburg Bridge, as well as the Corlears Hook Ferry Terminal. Walking distance to Dimes Triangle, Chinatown, Trader Joes, Target, Essex Crossing, and many other restaurants, cafes and shops. Two nearby parks have been built in the last 5 years. Pets welcome upon board approval.
