228 E 13Th St

A low-rise, six-story prewar cooperative constructed in 1900, this boutique walk-up contains a small collection of primarily one-bedroom residences and studios across just 28 units. The exterior presents classic early-20th-century masonry with tree-lined street frontage and a mid-block garden and communal storage for residents. Interiors typically retain prewar details — high ceilings, hardwood floors, exposed brick, built-in shelving and multiple closets including cedar-lined storage — while many apartments have been renovated with modern kitchens and baths featuring stone counters and stainless steel appliances. Common areas are modest and practical: a live-in superintendent, managed building finances with no recent assessments reported, and basic building systems recently updated (new boiler and roof). There is no elevator and access is by stairs; laundry is generally not provided in-building though some units have been modified to permit washer/dryers with board approval. The co-op board allows pied-a-terres, gifting, co-purchasing and limited subletting after a residency period; pets are permitted subject to board approval (typically cats and small dogs). Located between Second and Third Avenues in the East Village, the building places residents a short walk from Union Square, multiple grocery options, NYU and abundant transit lines, anchoring a lively, highly walkable neighborhood.
