Built in 1929, this 12-story Art Deco cooperative on a prominent East Village corner blends preserved pre‑war character with contemporary upgrades. The mid-rise contains primarily one‑bedroom residences featuring high beamed ceilings, oversized windows, original hardwood or parquet floors, defined foyers and eat‑in or galley kitchens; many homes retain moldings, wainscoting and other period details while some units have been modernized with stainless appliances, marble or updated baths and in‑unit washer/dryers (board approval often required). Common areas include a part‑time doorman (evening service), a live‑in superintendent, newly refurbished hallways and elevators, a fitness room, central laundry, bike room, private storage and a children's playroom. A landscaped roof deck provides panoramic skyline views and additional private outdoor space options are available on select units. The building allows pied‑a‑terres, co‑purchasing and subletting under cooperative rules and permits pets and interior washer/dryers with board consent. Located steps from Tompkins Square Park, multiple subway lines, NYU and Cooper Union, the property sits amid the neighborhood’s restaurants, cafes and cultural venues, offering an urban lifestyle that balances historical architecture with service and practical conveniences.
