A PH Duplex with Soul in the East Village Perched on the fifth and sixth floors of an intimate, co-op just one block from Tompkins Square Park, this exceptional two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath duplex is a true East Village treasure. This top-floor setting features ceilings up to 11.5 feet, exposed brick, and open sky, plus views of the community garden across the street, bringing immediate warmth and texture to the space. Morning light fills the apartment from the east, while southern and western exposures bring additional sun throughout the day. Rich walnut floors, a walnut staircase, handmade tile, and brick and window-trim finishes give the home a highly individual character. Central air conditioning and an in-unit vented Whirlpool washer/dryer add everyday convenience. The kitchen balances character with effortless functionality, featuring custom cabinetry, granite counters, a restored antique farmhouse sink, a full-size pantry, Sub-Zero refrigerator, vented Wolf gas range, and Bosch dishwasher. The main living level also includes a windowed laundry room with storage, a powder room, entry closet, and a nickel-topped bar with wine storage. The bedroom level features thoughtful built-ins and concealed storage throughout. The primary suite includes two walk-in closets and a beautifully finished en-suite bath with a glass-enclosed shower, custom sinks, and Dornbracht fixtures. The second bedroom is currently arranged as a library, with bespoke mahogany built-ins that connect through a discreet pocket door to the primary bedroom, and it can easily function as a fully enclosed second bedroom. A cleverly designed bookcase conceals one of the walk-in closets. Just moments from Tompkins Square Park, the home is surrounded by the East Village’s vibrant cafés, restaurants, independent shops, and nightlife, balanced by quiet tree-lined streets, historic prewar buildings, and a strong residential sense of place.
