Experience the charm of living in the heart of the Lower East Side in this stunning 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment located in downtown's hidden gem community, Seward Park Cooperative. Light, unobstructed views, and an open layout greet you as soon as you step in. Entering the unit there is room in the foyer for a console table to drop keys followed by the dining area. The spacious living room and dining area create a seamless flow with the open kitchen. The beautifully renovated kitchen features exquisite Calacatta Venato marble and a waterfall countertop, ideal for both food preparation and entertaining. With an almost 13-foot stretch of uninterrupted countertop space and generous drawers and cabinets for storage, this kitchen is a true rarity for a Manhattan apartment. It is equipped with a suite of KitchenAid appliances, including a 30-inch refrigerator, dishwasher, and a 5-burner stove. Rounding out the appliance suite are a built-in microwave and a wine refrigerator. A convenient nook for appliances is nestled around a window looking out on the private balcony. The built-in flower planter below this window is the perfect place to grow your own kitchen herbs year-round. The primary bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed, dressers, and a work-from-home desk. The second bedroom has been divided to include a large walk-in closet and a smaller room that can be used as desired. If preferred, the wall can easily be removed to return the room to its original configuration. The bathroom has been renovated to optimize both form and function, featuring tiles made in Spain and a 3-mirror medicine cabinet for extra storage. For added convenience, a washer/dryer combination unit is tucked away in a hallway closet. Enjoy breathtaking park and city views from the living room and balcony. Step out onto the balcony for a tranquil retreat and a gentle breeze. The unit benefits from south, west, and northern exposures, providing an abundance of natural light throughout the day. The sunsets here are truly spectacular!

Parking, bike storage, and private storage units are available through the coop (currently waitlisted). Seward Park Library is located right next door. Essex Crossing, Trader Joes, and Target add convenience to the neighborhood, while local favorites like Kikis, Dimes, Ernestos, Kossars, and the Pickle Guys, among many others, create the fantastic dining scene that can be found in the area.
