50 Orch St

A boutique condominium built in 2003, this 10-story residential building contains primarily one- and two-bedroom residences configured with loft-like proportions and high ceilings. Architecture favors large windows, private keyed elevator access on select units, and a masonry-and-glass façade that reads as modern-meets-downtown. Interiors commonly feature chef-style open kitchens with granite or stone counters, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, wide-plank hardwood floors, in-unit vented washer/dryers, generous closets and deeded storage rooms or cages in the basement. Many homes have private outdoor space — Juliet balconies, small private balconies, or larger private roof terraces — and several full-floor or penthouse units include keyed elevator landings. Common areas are intimate and service-oriented: a staffed full-time superintendent, secured package room, video intercom entry, bicycle storage, and a furnished roof deck with skyline views. Landscaping around a modest courtyard and planted roof areas provide small-scale outdoor respite. Practical features include low monthly common charges relative to neighborhood comparables, individually metered central A/C in some units, and smart-wiring provisions. Pet-friendly policies, flexible subletting and pied-a-terre allowances are noted, making the building accommodating for renters and owners. Located on Orchard Street in the Lower East Side, the property sits within easy walking distance of multiple subway lines, Essex Crossing, neighborhood markets, galleries, restaurants and nearby parks, placing it squarely in the heart of downtown Manhattan’s cultural and culinary corridor.
