Welcome to this thoughtfully designed three-level residence at 49 East 12th Street, where smart use of space meets high-end finishes and a welcoming, loft-like feel. The entry level features an open-concept island kitchen anchored by a dedicated dining area, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The fully custom kitchen was thoughtfully designed to maximize storage and functionality, with clever built-ins and cabinetry extending into even the tightest spaces. Floor-to-ceiling cabinets, a generous island, and top-tier appliances, including a BlueStar range, Miele dishwasher, and Hauslane range hood. A setup that’s as practical as it is beautiful. Upstairs, the second level living room offers a comfortable and stylish retreat, highlighted by custom built-in shelving, abundant recessed lighting, and a working fireplace that adds warmth and character. This level enjoys great natural light and opens to a Juliet balcony, enhancing the airy feel. The top level is dedicated to a spacious, private bedroom, offering true separation from the living areas. Easily accommodating a king-size bed, this serene space provides a quiet retreat with ample room for additional furnishings. Storage is thoughtfully integrated throughout the apartment, including additional storage tucked beneath the staircase, ensuring everything has its place without sacrificing design or flow. Ideally located moments from Union Square, the home is surrounded by downtown staples including Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, the Union Square Greenmarket, Strand Bookstore, and some of the city’s best dining and cafés. With immediate access to the 4/5/6, N/Q/R/W, and L trains, the location offers an exceptionally easy commute to anywhere in Manhattan. This boutique pre-war elevator co-op offers residents a video intercom system, laundry room, a furnished roof deck, and a live-in superintendent.
