Sublime East Village Penthouse Atelier with Exclusive Roof Rights Forget the West Village- this is where timeless character meets unmatched potential. Centrally located in the heart of the landmarked St. Mark's Historic District, this bright one-bedroom plus home office sits atop a 19th-century brick row house, offering all the charm of pre-war design with a rare, dreamy twist: 360SF of exclusive roof space ready for transformation. This top-floor walk-up (3 flights) has true penthouse gem potential-freshly painted with beautifully refinished oak parquet floors, original marble fireplaces ready to be woodburning (following all co-op requirements restored), and a dramatic north-facing atelier skylight that floods the home with natural light. Landmark windows on both north and south exposures ensure soft, golden light throughout the day. An authentic mid-century kitchen, with windowed breakfast corner, can be enjoyed as-is or upgraded to your design. The bones are ready; the magic is yours to finish. Update the kitchen and bathroom to your taste, deck out the rooftop for entertaining or peaceful gardening, and you'll have a storybook Village residence that rivals anything south of 14th Street. Located on the beautiful, tree-lined East Tenth Street between Second and Third Avenues, down the block from historic St. Mark's Church, this special apartment is part of a pet-friendly, no-smoking, 29-unit co-op, made up of six houses built in 1856 on land originally part of Peter Suyvesant's estate. The lobby leads to a serene shared garden with a central fountain and common bike rack. A peaceful and charming oasis in the middle of vibrant downtown with its cultural life, abundant eateries, access to transportation and lively atmospere. The perfect place to enjoy New York life! Pied-a-terres, co-purchasing are possible; 80% financing allowed.
