Nestled just two flights up in a prime East Village location, this bright, spacious and thoughtfully laid out alcove studio blends pre-war charm with contemporary design. Overlooking a quiet rear garden, the open-concept layout features exposed brick walls, high ceilings, hardwood flooring, enough room for a dining area, and a beautiful decorative fireplace. In addition, no detail has been overlooked to maximize storage throughout the home.
A dedicated entryway supports a custom built-in shoe-rack, key holder and coat closet. Moving into the spacious living area, you will enjoy the natural light streaming in from the back of the building that overlooks a quiet common garden. The bedroom area is raised on a platform which clearly divides the space and can accomodate a Queens size bed. Underneath the platform are four storage drawers, one of which is spacious enough to house a mattress that is perfect for guests. There is also the added benefit of a 3-panel, sliding frosted glass wall that makes the sleeping area a true sanctuary--letting in light when desired and providing privacy when required.
The windowed kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher, built-in microwave, and combination LG washer/dryer. There are also wood and glass cabinets including a tall pantry closet for those who love to cook. Two large clothing closets follow behind the galley kitchen and lead you into the bright, windowed bathroom, where you will find a glass enclosed shower and custom tile work. There are also overhead storage cabinets in the living space, making this the absolutely perfect studio space!
186 East 2nd Street is a beautiful prewar walkup condop located on the tree lined block between Avenues A and B.
