Overview of 238 East 4th Street

238 East 4th Street is a modern, seven-story building located in the East Village, constructed in 2009. This unique structure features only two condominium apartments, with the lower four floors serving as the residence of developer Sue Hostetler. The upper duplex is owned by Oscar Proust and Colleen Goujjane, known for their restaurant One if by Land, Two if by Sea. The interior of the penthouse was designed by the acclaimed design duo Bob and Courtney Novogratz, who are recognized for their innovative and stylish residential projects.

The building's exterior is characterized by a plain white façade, complemented by a modern glass-and-stainless-steel balcony on the second floor. The top floor is set back and features a glass railing, enhancing its contemporary aesthetic. Notably, the building includes a private garage, which is part of the four-story lower apartment, providing added convenience for residents.

The lower apartment is a spacious four-bedroom unit, featuring an expansive great room and a garden, while the penthouse boasts three bedrooms and a 31-foot-long living room with a fireplace and skylight. The penthouse also includes a 29-foot-long open kitchen/dining area that leads to a remarkable 58-foot-long private roof terrace, offering stunning views of the city skyline, including the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building.

With a total of 11,000 square feet available through the potential combination of both units, this property presents a rare opportunity for luxurious living in a vibrant neighborhood. The apartments are designed with high-end finishes, including radiant heat, security systems, and custom cabinetry, making them ideal for both entertaining and comfortable living.
