Built in 1899, this six-story, 11-unit pre-war cooperative embodies classic East Village low-rise living. The building’s masonry façade and walk-up circulation preserve historic character; a mix of first-, mid- and top-floor one-bedroom homes occupies modest floor plates typical of turn-of-the-century construction. Interiors commonly showcase high ceilings, original moldings, exposed brick, pocket doors and hardwood floors; many units have been renovated with eat-in kitchens, built-ins, claw-foot tubs, and updated plumbing and appliances. Common areas center on a planted rear courtyard and shared garden, with separate building storage and limited bike storage on site. Operationally self-managed, the coop emphasizes low monthly maintenance and conservative finances; policies allow cats but generally prohibit dogs, permit pied-à-terres, and allow subletting after five years. Practical conveniences include board-approved in-unit washer/dryer installation, storage rental (waitlist at times), and occasional bike rack access. Located on a tree-lined block in the heart of the East Village near Tompkins Square Park, the building supplies a quiet, community-focused complement to the neighborhood’s dense walkable retail, dining and transit options.
