Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Set within a 20th-century library, this apartment pairs historic charm with the laid-back energy of the Lower East Side. Think exposed brick walls, marbled stone surfaces, leather armchairs, and a rooftop terrace perfect for sunny-day grills or evening drinks. You’ll have access to an on-site gym and bike storage, though you're well placed to explore the neighbourhood on foot – Sara D. Roosevelt Park, Essex Market, and a mix of chic bars, delis, and restaurants are just minutes away. And when you're ready for a change of pace, a quick subway ride will zip you into SoHo, Chinatown, or the Financial District, putting all of Manhattan within easy reach.
