Description

This timeless architectural treasure is located in a boutique condominium on a tree-lined street in the East Village. Appropriately named the Flowerbox, this incredibly charming building is adorned with planting boxes outside each residence’s south facing windows. Well-suited to its exterior, the apartment itself is truly enchanting.

Upon entering via private keyed elevator, to the right of the foyer is a great room flanked by floor-to-ceiling steel casement windows and French doors opening to a Juliet balcony. The sunlit space delivers picturesque views of open sky and exquisite townhomes across the street. The loft-like atmosphere features 12’ ceilings and an open floor plan.

Facing the living room, the well-appointed kitchen is outfitted with premium finishes including a Viking appliance package, wine refrigerator, marble countertops and backsplash, teak wood cabinetry, and a sleek glass-topped island peninsula. On the north end of the residence, two well-proportioned bedrooms gaze out over a lovely key-locked community garden. The master suite is highlighted by a sizeable private balcony, providing a peaceful escape perched above the oasis below.

The bedroom also features a dressing room and an ensuite bath, equipped with a double sink vanity, standup shower, and poured concrete floor. Adjacent to the master bath is a second full bathroom. Additional details of the home include a laundry room, abundant closet space, central HVAC system, state of the art sound system, and beautiful wide plank, heated wood floors throughout.

The Flowerbox is a doorman building quietly tucked away among the brownstones lining East 7th Street, the location offers access to some of New York’s best kept secrets, popular restaurants, and multiple parks. Constructed in 2006, the intimate building consists only of 8 residences and has often been referred to by multiple publications as “One of the best buildings in New York”.
