175 E 2Nd St

A five-story, pre-war elevator condominium constructed in 1920, this boutique East Village building contains roughly twenty units configured primarily as one-bedroom and loft-style residences. The block-scale masonry façade conceals industrial-era details inside: high beamed ceilings, exposed brick, wide plank hardwood floors and generous window openings that create pronounced double exposures in many homes. Interiors emphasize loft proportions and adaptively reused factory character, with features commonly including breakfast bars, built-in storage, double vanities, soaking tubs and entrance foyers. Shared spaces are modest but well-curated — a planted courtyard/garden, a roof deck and dedicated storage rooms complement a video intercom and long-standing on-site management. Practical conveniences include elevator access to all floors, permitted in-unit washer/dryer hookups, and low monthly common charges that cover gas. The building’s pet-friendly policy and allowance for pied-a-terre ownership broaden buyer flexibility. Located between Avenue A and Avenue B, it sits within walking distance of Tompkins Square Park, neighborhood markets, restaurants and multiple subway lines, offering an urban, walkable lifestyle rooted in historic Lower Manhattan character.
