Overview of 31 East 1st Street

31 East 1st Street is a five story rental building completed in 1939, with 15 apartments in the East Village. Its prewar character is most evident in the common halls, where painted crown moldings meet marble floors, while the apartment interiors have been renovated with a contemporary vocabulary.

Apartments commonly have hardwood floors, exposed brick, marble tiled bathrooms, and kitchens with stainless steel appliances, dishwashers, and microwaves. The layouts include studios, one bedrooms, and two bedrooms, with natural light, street or garden exposures, and generous closet space recurring among the residences. Private outdoor space is also part of the apartment mix, including secluded patios and backyard areas.

The building sits beside East 1st Street Park and the East 1st Street Community Garden, with Astor Place, St. Marks Place, and Tompkins Square Park nearby. The surrounding blocks are lined with restaurants, bars, cafes, music venues, galleries, boutiques, and thrift shops, and Whole Foods is just above Houston Street. The building is pet friendly, and some rentals have been offered without a broker fee.
