Discover this oversized, pin-drop quiet studio tucked away at the rear of a charming East Village cooperative, offering an exceptional combination of character, functionality, and one of the most flexible ownership policies in Manhattan. Warm and inviting, the residence features soaring ceilings, exposed brick, recessed lighting, and hardwood floors throughout. The thoughtfully updated kitchen, larger than what you'd find in most two-bedroom apartments, is equipped with ample cabinetry, an induction range, and generous counter space. The renovated bathroom offers a clean, timeless design, while three oversized closets provide exceptional storage rarely found in a studio, allowing the living space to remain open and uncluttered. Positioned at the rear of the building, the apartment enjoys peaceful southern exposure and remarkable tranquility, a true retreat from the energy of the neighborhood while remaining just moments from everything that makes the East Village so desirable. Located just blocks from Union Square and less than one block from the L train, you'll have immediate access to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Target, the Time Out Market Food Hall, neighborhood cafs, acclaimed restaurants, vibrant nightlife, and nearly every major subway line. Beyond serving as an exceptional primary residence, this home also presents a compelling long-term investment opportunity. After just one year of owner occupancy, the cooperative permits unlimited subletting, providing a level of flexibility more commonly associated with condominium ownership. The building also welcomes co-purchasers, guarantors, parental purchases, and pied--terre buyers, making it one of the most accommodating cooperatives in the neighborhood. Shareholders are also permitted to have one small dog or two cats. Whether you're searching for your first Manhattan home, a convenient city retreat, or a future income-producing property, this oversized East Village residence offers outstanding value, timeless character, and remarkable flexibility in one of New York City's most vibrant neighborhoods. Note there is an assessment of $515.15 through Oct 2026.
