170 2Nd Ave

A landmark 15-story prewar cooperative completed in 1929, this Art Deco residence occupies a prominent East Village corner between Second Avenue and Eleventh Street. The masonry façade leads to a restored, ornamental lobby featuring original terrazzo floors, brass chandeliers, Art Deco murals and a mahogany-paneled elevator that together convey the building's 1920s character. Apartments are primarily one-bedroom and multi-room classic layouts with high beamed ceilings, original parquet or oak floors, moldings, and generous window bands that frame wide city and landmarked church views. Many units have private or semi-private entries, formal entrance foyers and separate dining areas; several listings note renovated eat-in or galley kitchens, restored baths and built-in storage. The co-op operates as a full-service building with a live-in superintendent, 24-hour elevator attendant/doorman, porters and an attentive full-time staff. Resident conveniences include a central laundry room, bicycle and storage rooms, and limited extra storage via application. Pet ownership is allowed with coop approval; in-unit washers and dryers have been installed in some apartments or permitted. Located across from historic St. Mark’s Church and steps from Tompkins Square Park, Union Square and multiple subway lines, the building sits at the heart of the East Village’s restaurants, shops and cultural amenities, offering an urban, historically rich living environment.
