Description

Welcome to 283 East 5th Street, 1C -- an exceptional, oversized, 1 Bedroom Apartment in Prime Kensington... with So Much Room to Grow! This Corner Pre-War, Art Deco Co-op is well-proportioned and very quiet, with generously-sized rooms and pre-war detail. Previously configured as a 2 bed, this almost 850 square foot 1 bedroom, can easily be transformed into 2 bedrooms, Plus! See proposed floorplan attached!

This elevated 1st floor apartment features an elegant foyer/entryway, with 2 easy to access closets to store all away, before stepping down into your living space. The grand 20-foot sunken living room is a show stopper, and provides a spacious, yet intimate seating area, along with the glamour of a romantic bygone era. Additional period details include gorgeous, newly refinished, herringbone and parquet floors, 9-foot ceilings, and pretty crown molding! The apartment boasts windows in every room, including the kitchen and bathroom.

Enjoy cooking in your brand, new kitchen! Clean lines and white cabinets create a kitchen that is modern and timeless. The windowed kitchen provides lower and ceiling-height upper cabinets on both sides, and plenty of counter space for food preparation. Gorgeous granite countertops sit atop beautiful white wooden cabinets, accented by stainless steel appliances including a quad-door refrigerator. Polished white subway tiles provide the backsplash throughout, and slate floor tiles round out the kitchen, allowing prep work and cleanup to be quick and easy.

There is a dining room just off of the kitchen. An additional room off of the dining area can be accessed through the entry foyer as well. Currently utilized as a walk-in closet, but multiple options here. Opt to keep as is, or open the dining area for a full open layout plan with the living room, as other units in this line are setup.

The windowed bathroom is elegantly tiled throughout for easy maintenance.

The serene, corner bedroom is separate from the living area, and can easily accommodate king-sized furniture, and a full office area. If you need more room, there is an easy plan to convert this king bedroom into 2 bedrooms or 1 bedroom and an office/nursery space! This home's flexible layout gives you so many options to create the perfect space for you!!

This professionally-managed co-op is impeccably maintained with a live-in super. The building's basement level provides private storage for this unit, bike storage and a central laundry room with card-operated machines. A sweet Common Outdoor Space is also available for owners, complete with grill and seating. Cats are permitted, and dogs upon approval.
