'First resale' at the the Brownstone East Village



Over in the Brownstone East Village, the four-unit architectural wonder at 224 E. 14th St. near Third Avenue, a floor-through loft is now on the market. According to the listing at Blu Realty Group: "This condo loft unit can't be missed. It’s the first re-sale in the building so it really is a rare opportunity!"

Last year, it was reported that Bill Peterson, the architect behind this, was selling his second-floor unit for $2.499 million. (Unsure if that ever happened.) Among other amenities, this unit featured the retractable facade that allows you to gaze out onto East 14th Street.

The new unit for sale for $1.45 million doesn't have that deluxe feature... But, there is plenty more...

The abundant cabinetry is streamlined with a beautiful white lacquer finish, giving the space a touch of a contemporary spirit in a classic space. The kitchen can also accommodate a breakfast nook for your quick morning bite and coffee.

Spacious Bathroom features Lefroy Brooks Enamal dual sinks with Vola fixtures, Zuma Deep Soaking Tub and a Duravit Wall-Hung Toilet.

The listing also notes that the building is "close to all Subways including the 'L' to Williamsburg."

Showings start on July 25.

  1. Can I pay less if I don't get the Lefroy Brooks, Vola, Zuma, and Duravit? Because I don't know what those are.

  2. That guy in the photo looks like he's from The Matrix.

  3. Maybe the owner would replace those custom pieces with good old American Standards from a salvage yard for you. Then they could have a first resale for the custom bathroom fixtures.

  4. "Streamlined with a beautiful white lacquer finish"? That makes absolutely no sense. But then, neither does this hideous building or its over-the-top appurtenances, at least not in my eyes.

    I'm getting really sick of rich people.

  6. Sorry to be late, but this just occurred to me: “Wall-Hung Toilet?” Isn’t that the wooden box with a chain attached to it that pretty much vanished about 25-30 years ago? Talk about retro-chic.
