Located on the 2nd floor of a lovely 8 story 1918 limestone and brick pre-war building designed by Henry J. Hardenbergh, the same architect who designed The Dakota, The Plaza Hotel, and Carnegie Hall to name a few, with elevator, live-in super, laundry, and gorgeous marble and terrazzo lobby with stainless steel accents. The express subways are a 7-10 minute walk on Fulton Street, local residential services such as health clubs, shopping, dining, free shuttle bus, and recreational areas are within a short walk. There is a riverfront promenade a block to the East great for running, biking, and enjoying the view. Most residents find the area to be more peaceful and tranquil than other residential neighborhoods. The area under the FDR and South Street along the East River has been transformed into green space that will eventually connect with all the other green space wrapping around Manhattan!
