20 Clinton St

A six-story, prewar Art Deco condominium on Clinton Street in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, built in 1939 and primarily composed of two-bedroom and one-bedroom residences. The façade and lobby retain period character while elevator access and a serviced entry reflect later condominium conversion upgrades. Typical units feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, defined entry foyers, recessed lighting, windowed kitchens (including eat-in or galley layouts), and windowed bathrooms; many apartments include generous closet space and configurations that allow for flexible third/den spaces. Shared building attributes emphasize low ongoing carrying costs: a privately maintained common garden and courtyard at the rear, bike storage, package room, and on-site staff including a live-in superintendent and virtual doorman/key-fob access. The building’s small scale results in a more intimate residential environment than a tower, with elevator service but a neighborhood-oriented feel. Pet-friendly policies, smoke-free interiors, and provisions for in-unit washers in certain lines reflect contemporary lifestyle needs while preserving prewar proportions and moldings. Located on a tree-lined block near cafes, markets, and multiple subway lines, the property blends classic architectural details and neighborhood convenience with modest, amenity-focused communal spaces.
