407 E 12Th St

A boutique, five-story condominium built in the early 2000s and located in Manhattan’s East Village, this small-scale building contains roughly two dozen residences arranged primarily as two-bedroom layouts. The exterior reads as a low-rise urban block with a landscaped central courtyard and planted roof deck; several units feature private outdoor spaces ranging from small terraces to larger planted roof areas. Interiors combine practical city-living finishes—hardwood floors, modern kitchens, in-unit washers and dryers, and recessed lighting—with individualized touches such as solarium-style living rooms, built-in shelving and expanded storage under staircases. Shared features include a staffed superintendent on weekdays, video intercom/security, bicycle storage and communal gardens that reinforce a connection to greenery uncommon for the immediate neighborhood. The building offers elevator access and allows flexible ownership options (including pied-à-terre, parental purchases and foreign buyers) and is pet friendly. Sited between Tompkins Square Park and Union Square, the property is steps from multiple subway lines, neighborhood restaurants, grocery options and the dense walkability and cultural life of the East Village.
