Apartment 9B and 9C's balance and harmony was achieved by architect and feng shui expert Anjie Cho. Known for creating mindful and peaceful homes, Ms. Cho recently transformed this generously proportioned property featuring 3 bedrooms, an open concept living/dining/kitchen, and two full baths. The expansive open floor plan flows into the kitchen, dining room and living room creating great space for entertaining. The space is so generous that a fourth bedroom can be added with ease (see alternative layouts).

The open area features a pre-war beamed ceiling with tons of dimmable recessed lighting. The expansive dining area has room for 8-10 seats, as well as a custom designed built in wall unit with natural walnut interiors, glass shelves, gray and black satin custom cabinetry and satin gold hardware. The living room has a custom entertainment unit with concealed internet/tech equipment and display shelving. Included in the dining and living areas are crystal chandeliers from Restoration hardware.

The kitchen is chic gray satin custom cabinetry with natural maple interiors complimented by gorgeous textured Caesarstone countertop, seamless slab backsplash, and porcelain flooring. There is a generous 7-foot peninsula with a waterfall edge and seating for up to six. The never used chef's kitchen is equipped with professional grade top of the line Bosch stainless steel appliances including an Industrial style Gas Range, Counter-Depth French 3-Door Refrigerator with internal Ice Maker and Water filter, Built-in microwave drawer, Dishwasher as well as a GE wine cooler.

Hillman Housing Corporation is one of the Lower East Side's most established co-op communities — part of the beloved Co-op Village that has anchored this neighborhood for generations. Building amenities include a fitness center, modern laundry facilities (in-unit washer/dryer permitted with management approval), bike storage, cold storage, a children's playroom, a community garden, composting, and on-site super and maintenance staff. Two private parks and playgrounds are reserved exclusively for residents, and there's an on-site parking garage (fee, waitlist). Co-op policies are notably flexible: co-purchasing, gifting, guarantors, parents buying, and pied-à-terre use are all permitted, with subletting allowed after two years of ownership. Dogs up to 35 lbs welcome.

The location is exceptional — and getting better. Essex Crossing is a short walk away, bringing Target, Trader Joe's, Regal Cinemas, and Essex Market under one roof. The rebuilt East River Park has reopened at the waterfront with a reconstructed amphitheater, tennis and basketball courts, ballfields, BBQ areas, and open lawns, part of a $1.45 billion transformation still underway. The new Corlears Hook pedestrian bridge connects the park directly to Corlears Hook Park and the NYC Ferry terminal, where a boat to Williamsburg, Greenpoint, or Long Island City costs the same as a subway ride. The M14A stops at the corner, the M21 runs across the street, and the M22 and M14D are a block away, linking you to the East Village, SoHo, the West Village, and Chinatown. The J, M, F, and Z trains are at Delancey and Essex, with the F also at East Broadway.
