Unique and One of a Kind! Your East Village Oasis Awaits! Welcome to 753 East 5th Street, Apt. 1A: a duplex maisonette condo at the crossroads of the East Village and Alphabet City, featuring two bedrooms, two bathrooms, two private outdoor spaces, and a separate private and gated entrance adjacent to the building. This entryway is a rarity in Manhattan and sets the tone for this home's unique lifestyle. You are instantly greeted by a 300-plus square foot garden designed for outdoor entertaining, grilling, lounging, rest and relaxation, or even parking! The street curb is cut for car access, and the gates open to accommodate easy entry and exit for vehicles. The home's interior is equally as inviting and functions seamlessly. Southern and Western sunlight flood both levels, creating a warm, homey living experience. On the first level, you'll find the open concept living/dining room, rustic kitchen with stainless steel appliances, vented and stacked W/D, and full guest bathroom. There is even an outfitted nook beneath the staircase for excess storage. The bedrooms and a second full bathroom are located on the second level. A long terrace that peers onto the unit's main-level private garden is also accessible from this landing. Hardwood floors, outfitted closets, and through-wall AC run throughout. Ever so slightly tucked away from the vibrancy of East Village, this home will instantly feel like your own sanctuary. However, you are still just away from Tompkins Square Park & Tompkins Square bagels (arguably the best bagel in NYC), Bobwhite Counter, Pardon my French, Lamia's Fish Market, Clinton Street Baking Co., Katz's Deli, Supper, and Poco. The list truly goes on and on! Various bus routes and CitiBike stations are nearby, as is access to the FDR Drive N & S. The closest subway lines are the F, J, M, and Z, found at the Delancey & Essex Street station immediately across from the newly designed Essex Market. ***
