StreetEasy’s Most Wanted: 3 apartments you don’t have to renovate, plus 1 you do
A move-in ready apartment certainly has its perks, and this week, StreetEasy’s Most Wanted--the 10 sales listings saved more often than any others by StreetEasy.com users--highlights a selection of renovated units and, for you DIY types--one that still needs some touching up.
A new-to-market two-bedroom condo on the corner of East 40th Street and Second Avenue is newly renovated and going for $899k. The updated kitchen has a breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances and brand new cherry wood cabinets. Plus, there’s a balcony with city views -- and the full service building's got a health club and swimming pool.
Down in Gramercy, in a landmark building on East 15th between Fourth Avenue and Irving Place, a one-bedroom co-op for $545k features a renovated, windowed bathroom (pictured) with an antique claw foot tub. The apartment also has an eat-in kitchen with pantry built-ins and three exposures with semicircular windows. Every major subway line is close by, as is Union Square Park. Note: a cyber doorman takes the place of a live one.
The two bathrooms in a $1.749m two-bedroom co-op on the corner of LaGuardia Place and Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village have both been gut renovated. They're complete with top-of-the-line fixtures, radiant floor heating and a spa-like shower in the master bath. Ten windows with eastern and southern exposures offer views of treetops and the downtown skyline. There's an in-unit W/D and the apartment can be converted into a three-bedroom (if you're willing to do some work and add a wall, that is).
If you're up for doing some renovating of your own, consider a top floor, south facing one-bedroom condo in a prewar elevator Deco building on West 19th between Seventh and Eighth Avenues on the market for $675k. The barebones kitchen and the bathroom need updating. Low carrying charges at $411 and a live-in super who takes packages day and night add to the perks.
