Have your very own slice of historic NYC for less than renting! This exceptional apartment is truly a no-brainer: a charming prewar home on an idyllic, landmarked block, featuring 2 bedrooms, open landmark views, beautiful sunlight, low maintenance, in-unit washer and dryer, exposed red brick, and steps away from Union Square, transportation, and the best shopping and dining for $930k! The views are unmatched in this apartment. Thanks to the shorter landmarked buildings surrounding the building, there are protected sky views from all of the windows. The kitchen and both bedrooms overlook landmarked prewar buildings and historic St. George's Church (J.P. Morgan's church in the 1800s) to the south and east. The living room has 3 windows featuring picturesque views of landmarked townhouses on 17th Street, treetops with birds, and the top of the Chrysler Building in the distance. You can expect stunning sunrises and magical sunsets from this treehouse in Gramercy. Currently configured as a two bedroom apartment, this rare 4-room home features 7 windows with screens, a renovated, windowed kitchen, an updated windowed bathroom, a bright living room, high ceilings, white oak bleached hardwood floors, and built-in closets. 120 year old brick welcomes you as you enter the apartment. A coat closet is conveniently located where a dumbwaiter used to be. Built in shelving lines a gallery wall leading to the bright living room with space for a dining table. The living room features a full wall of built in cherry wood cabinetry that includes two hidden desks- a perfect home office. The kitchen is off of the living room, completing the entertaining area of the apartment. You will enjoy cooking in your windowed kitchen with gorgeous knotty pine wood cabinets, Caesarstone countertops, deep stainless steel sink, full sized Miele dishwasher, GE stove, Broan hood, and Fisher Paykel french door fridge. An in-unit washer and vented dryer is tucked away inside a utility closet in the kitchen. Separate from the living room is one of the bedrooms which fits a queen sized bed and has a double wide closet. The other bedroom has exposed brick and an east-facing window with a few out two avenues to Beth Israel. The updated bathroom is windowed with a vanity with nice counter space and a shower with a mini bathtub. THE BUILDING: Nestled among historic buildings and red-brick townhouses on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Gramercy is the architecturally renowned 1903 Beaux Arts coop building, fittingly named "Mon Bijou" (my jewel). This well maintained prewar building is loaded with charm, original detailed molding, and beautiful ceramic tile floors in common areas. Original marble stairs and plant-adorned windows guide you up five flights to tranquil Apartment 6A, which features views of blue skies, trees, and townhouses across the way. Pets are welcome with board approval. Flexible sublet policy. Pied-a-terres permitted. Parents co-purchasing and gifting allowed case by case. Gratis outdoor bike storage is available. Storage units available for just $21/month. Buyer pays 2% flip tax. THE NEIGHBORHOOD: Two blocks from Union Square, this apartment is perfectly situated close to shopping, incredible eateries, activities, and transportation (the NQR and 456 trains leave from Union Square, the L train is just 3 blocks down on 3rd Avenue, and buses in all directions leave from nearby). A Citibike station is half a block away. The building is close to multiple grocery stores, including a Westside Market on the corner of 17th and 3rd Ave, Trader Joe's 3 blocks south, Whole Foods in Union Square, and the Union Square Greenmarket. The apartment is on the same block as beautiful four-acre Stuyvesant Square Park, which has a dog park, extraordinary old trees, two fountains, and the original cast iron fence from 1847.
