I never paid much attention to 214 E. Ninth St., a residential building between Second Avenue and Third Avenue that counted the now-closed Dahlia's Tapas Wine Bar as a retail tenant.
Apparently it's quite nice inside... at least the top-floor unit that just arrived on the market is...
Here's the listing via Streeteasy:
A townhouse in an East Village Penthouse! Must be seen to truly experience all of the amazing design flourishes that went into making this home an Architectural Digest-featured property. No detail was overlooked in the gut renovation of this triplex, convertible-two bedroom with sprawling rooftop garden, and complete with outdoor shower.
All kitchen cabinets were designed specifically for this home and stained to match the neutral color palette throughout, with a custom Lacanche range and full-slab Carrera marble countertops and backsplash. The sun-drenched, south-facing living room has vaulted 18’ ceilings, oversize windows, and a fireplace.
The stairs lead up to a sitting area/media room, which was formerly the apartment’s master bedroom, and has an extensive walk-in custom closet. The master bathroom has a steam and rain shower, as well as free-standing, clawfoot tub, which is accentuated by a vintage crystal Kinkeldey chandelier. Full-slab granite marble flooring and a double Carrera marble vanity receive plenty of extra light from the bathroom’s skylight. The top floor is the master suite, with an operable window wall that leads out onto your own private rooftop oasis.
And some photos...
Price: $2.650 million.
It previously sold for $1.495 million in 2014, per Streeteasy.
This is, if I read the floor plan correctly, a 4th, 5th, and 6th floor walkup apartment. No elevator.
ReplyDeleteAnd no bathroom on the level of the master bedroom!
Good luck getting dressed when your bedroom is upstairs but your closet is one flight down. Should make for good aerobic workout.
That bathtub looks like it would be uncomfortable, and the chandelier over it...
Double-height LR may look good, but hard to heat & those windows look out on a bus route.
It's not cookie-cutter, but it's an odd layout.
But hey, there's a lot of marble, so someone will be enticed!
No way that grill on the terrace is legal - it's touching and surrounded by WOOD. FDNY would be on that in a split second.
ReplyDeleteThat's more shoes that the Continental Army marched with!
ReplyDeleteAll grills are illegal on balconies and porches and roofs. That said... the design is awkward and the building looks terrible from the street.
ReplyDeleteI like how the estimated payment is based on an 80% down payment.
ReplyDelete"No detail was overlooked."
ReplyDeleteHOW WOULD THEY KNOW???
I like how the price almost doubled in 4 years. Good luck with that ask.
ReplyDelete@Dr. Gecko: Exactly!!
