170 2Nd Ave

A landmark prewar cooperative built in 1929, this 15-story, 39-unit Art Deco residence occupies a prominent East Village corner at Second Avenue and Eleventh Street. The masonry façade and interior design recall the era with decorative murals, terrazzo flooring, brass chandeliers and a mahogany‑paneled manual elevator preserved in the recently restored lobby. Units are predominantly one-bedroom configurations, many oversized for their typology, and display original details—beamed or 9' ceilings, parquet or wide‑plank oak floors, crown moldings, solid doors and classic black-and-white windowed baths—alongside contemporary chef’s kitchens and high-end appliances in renovated homes. Common areas and services emphasize full-service convenience: a staffed elevator/attendant and porters, a live‑in superintendent, 24‑hour coverage transitioning to full-time doorman service, central laundry, private storage and a bike room. Building policies are cooperative-centric: pet-friendly terms, allowance for pied-à-terres and co-purchases in many listings, and financing flexibility on qualifying units. Located directly across from landmarked St. Mark’s Church and a short walk to Tompkins Square Park, Union Square, Astor Place and multiple subway lines, the building blends historic character with modern comforts in a lively, walkable neighborhood.
