Bright, charming, and thoughtfully updated, Residence 5H at 141 East 3rd Street exudes the essence of the East Village. This corner two-bedroom home marries its pre-war sensibilities -- the crown and decorative wall mouldings, the beamed ceilings, the glass handles on the doorknobs -- with modern finishes. At nearly 1,100 square feet, with ceilings over 9', and a total of 9 windows to the south and the west, the residence feels open and airy: a perfect sanctuary to call home amidst one of the city's most vibrant neighborhoods. Enter the home through the proper foyer; there are two large closets here for coats and extra storage. The open living/dining room faces south, with lovely views of the neighborhood. There is plenty of space for multiple seating and dining areas, and ample room for entertaining guests. The windowed kitchen is unmissable with its black-and-white checkered floors. In addition to the breakfast area, charmingly situated against the window, the kitchen is fully updated, including appliances and cabinetry. The wood block countertops and the subway tile backsplash evoke a bohemian sensibility without sacrificing function. The principal bedroom has windows to the south and west, providing all-day light and offering views of downtown landmarks, including One World Trade. This is a large and flexible space with built-in cabinets for storage and room for a work station and additional seating. The secondary bedroom across the hall is also quite spacious and includes a walk-in closet and two west-facing windows. Keeping thematically with the kitchen, the windowed bathroom also has black-and-white checkered flooring, a smaller pattern to the kitchen's bolder counterpart. Similar subway tiling lines the walls here as in the kitchen, tying the apartment together aesthetically. For the more updated finishes, the bathroom is anchored by a marble double vanity and a shower with a glass door. Ageloff Towers at 141 East 3rd Street is a 12-story pre-war co-operative in the East Village. The building offers a bike room, a laundry room, a live-in super, and a package room. Many of the East Village's best offerings are nearby, including Tompkins Square Park and countless restaurants, cafes, shops and bars. There is an ongoing capital assessment of $286.50 per month.
