Here is your opportunity to connect with a classic prewar building that takes you back to the times of horse & buggy in Manhattan. It puts you squarely in the center of town with a prime Union Square Park location.

The Swannanoa is a 10-story Neo-Renaissance apartment building designed by Gilbert Schellinger who was a renowned and prolific designer of residential buildings back in the late 1800’s and 1900’s.

If size matters, you may want to stop here as the apartments @ the Swannanoa tend to run on the smaller side.

If being an owner in a gorgeous prewar building with a top Union Square location appeals to you, then please read on. This flat will work real well as a starter apt, pied-a-terre, primary residence or an investment unit.
The broker’s first full-time residence in the city was a studio just like this on the 4th floor and I reside full-time in this building now with my family.

This apartment was completely gut renovated in late 2018.

This beautiful renovated flat features 9.5 ft. ceiling height, new hardwood floors, four large windows, oversized walk-in closet/dressing room, AC, two brilliantly bright/quiet exposures including east and north.

Bathroom: Totally renovated and yet still has that classic feel featuring marble floor, two large windows, Gerber high powered flush toilet and stylish sink/sink cabinet piece & chrome hardware.

Plenty of heat/hot water and water pressure to boot.

Kitchen: Efficiency style for the busy urban types that can comfortably deemphasize the size of their kitchens. This kitchen features a Whirlpool stainless steel convection/microwave oven & a Summit 2 burner electric cooktop. It also has a Stainless-Steel Summit half fridge with a freezer.

Views/Exposures: Lots of sky with east being the primary exposure.

It also has a northern exposure.

BEFORE you contact the broker for questions or access, please note the following:
***Parents buying with children, gifting and pied-a-terre’s are permitted.
***The building is pet friendly for owners.
***Investor purchase is permitted. The market rent for this unit would be at least $2400 per month now.
