Yes, this 3,125-square-foot, three-bedroom loft at 79 E. Second St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue is plenty spacious.
Here's a little of the brokerage-ese from Town:
Enter the foyer via a discreet key-locked elevator, walk past two grand walk-in closets and experience the tremendous great room. Seven southern exposures usher a cascade of natural light throughout the day. Wide planked solid oak wood floors run throughout, under beamed ceilings that soar 11’5”. The over-sized open chef’s kitchen features sleek marble counter-tops, including the breakfast bar, a stainless-steel Thermidor stove with hood exhaust, 36” stainless-steel Sub-Zero fridge, a Bosch dishwasher, wine fridge, porcelain country sink and copious custom white wood cabinetry.
The spacious master bedroom features an en-suite bath with marble rain shower, separate deep soaking tub, his-and-her sinks and marble floors. There are two large closets and a bonus entertainment room in the suite. Two additional windowed bedrooms and a second full bathroom with hallway access complete this masterful floor plan.
This pre-war condo features just five exclusive apartments. Live in one of New York’s most sought-after neighborhoods where the East Village meets NoHo and the Lower East Side. Take in an art opening at one of the many nearby galleries or a show at a hip music venue.
The asking rent is a copious $16k, and the space is available Dec. 1.
And maybe you could befriend your new neighbors with the pool and putt-putt-friendly lawn.

Thanks...I really needed to know this. I switched on the TV for a couple of minutes while heating up some couscous in the microwave. There was a news segment called "Living Large" It was a depiction of gross, ostentatious life styles. Don't get into this kind of stuff, EVG. Let NBC/CBS/FOX etc. deal with this. It's not something I want to hear about nor care about. With the utmost respect, Uncle Waltie.
ReplyDeleteToo much luxury for me to handle first thing in the morning.
ReplyDeleteYes, the rent is ridiculous, but this loft is far from ostentatious. The space is just large and, let's be honest, we would all live in it if we could afford to. PLEASE Grieve, keep showing us this stuff. Some of us are curious about what's behind the facades.
ReplyDeleteThis exterior of this building is ugly, a sort of pre-brutalist brutalist architecture. Speaking of ugly architecture, check out the renovation of 104 Ave. B. Compare the original at google maps to the developing monstrosity.
ReplyDeleteBill, opponent of politicians and architectural brutalism
This is just sheer obscenity. How many people could live in this building if the apartments weren't such bloated paeans to excess?
ReplyDeleteAnd why the hell was that giant pool of vomit left on the floor for that first picture?
I'm particularly interested in how they get the marble to liquefy in order to rain on me.
ReplyDeleteI hope that rug was not from a real animal.
ReplyDeleteNot only would it have been killed - but now
stepped on by a hipster.
Rug? Oh. I that it was Amy Schumer.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous space but TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE to what EVGrieve is all about. C'mon editors. . .
ReplyDeleteWealthy people aren't going to pay 16k a month to live in the Alcohol District among the bros, shebros, college kids, various holiday bar crawls, and all of the other shitty aspects of this "new" New York. I almost can't blame them for wanting to live 2,000 stories above Central Park. Call me Jeeves, im moving in!
ReplyDeleteLoft porn! Where are the drapes so I can...
ReplyDeleteHey - quit bitching about EVGrieve covering EV stuff! If you want a blog more suited to your tastes then start one :) - It's not that difficult: just give up hours each day so people can complain about your articles/other comments/where they live/how it's not like it used to be, etc.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing easier than saying: "bad idea" without offering any suggestions about what would be better.
Please, those of you who don't like what you see here: submit some cool stuff! I don't even know if they take unsolicited articles... But I'll bet they would if it was goooood.
Them thar old days everybody wants back? I believe it was because they miss the creativity. So get out there and either do cool EV stuff for EVGrieve to report on or help them out with tips!!
I write two blogs and let me tell you - it's a labor of love (not profit)... Very hard work to provide bread and circuses to the great unwashed!
Xxxooo

ReplyDeleteIt's not loft porn for readers to drool over. It's a mockery showing us the shocking luxury development of the LES and the types that are taking over. YUPPIES telling themselves they belong. You don't belong here with us though, Yuppies. You never will.
ReplyDeleteOkay Bill please pick up a book on architecture, look up brutalism as a style then look up apartments looked like in the late 1930's early 40's in NYC. The street level has been messed with by the facade is original.
ReplyDeleteThis apartment is just about being big other than that the architects did nothing but know down walls and probably install a supporting steel beam to keep the upper floors from crashing in. The exposed brick is a throw back "loft" idea and as with most lofts furniture placement is scattered and meaningless for actual living.
Thanks EVG for posting this, I like being informed about our neighborhood that's why I check in daily.
