524 E 13th St Unit E-4 New York, NY 10009

Welcome to apartment #E4 at 524 East 13th St, a charming 5-story building built before the turn of the century. This 1-bedroom home is ideal both for someone looking to establish residency immediately or for the designer eye to bring their own customization ideas to life. This top-floor unit currently features freshly sanded/polished bright *hardwood floors*, exposed brick and a bright, light filled exposure thanks to the double windows. At its current setup, the kitchen includes a separate sink/wash area while the standard white refrigerator and 4-burner gas stove stand on the other end. The bedroom comfortably fits a queen bed and has great light due to the Eastern exposure and the skylight. Access to the modern tiled bathroom with stand-in shower is through this bedroom with ample built-in closet space. What makes this opportunity stand out is the possibilities for customization and upgrades. The kitchen can easily be upgraded with modern appliances and cabinetry, the ceiling can be taken out and extended all the way the to beams to make it a loft. A *washer/dryer setup can also be added.* This unit comes with an *extra storage unit* (about 4 ft in depth/8 ft in height) in the hallway which is great for rarely used items. Access to the *rooftop* is also just a flight of stairs away to catch the occasional CITY sunset. The building has a quiet *shared backyard area* that is available for residents to enjoy and can easily be reserved for small private gatherings as well. The basement features even more extra storage space for each apartment in form of a shelving unit. *Bike storage* is also available here. The location is absolutely fantastic, as it's nestled on a *quiet, tree-lined one-way street* in Alphabet City/East Village, just a short walk to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Target and a myriad of world-class dining/nightlife. A CitiBike docking station is conveniently located at the end of the block, just a corner away from the L subway line at 1Ave. 524 East 13th St is a *self-managed* cooperative building that is looking for shareholders that plan to be an active part of the community. Sublets after 2 years of residency are allowed subject to board approval and not indefinitely. Pets are also allowed, however a preference is given to cats.
