47 King St APT 2,New York,NY,10014

Opportunity Knocks! Don't miss this never before available duplex one-bedroom apartment at 47-49 King Street, a coop comprised of three handsome Federal-style townhouses in the Charlton-King-Vandam Historic District. Built in 1838 and featuring a lush private common courtyard, this pet-friendly cooperative blends historic allure with modern convenience, offering a rare opportunity to live on one of NYC's most picturesque, tree-lined blocks bordering Hudson Square, Soho, and Greenwich Village. This apartment exudes old world charm, featuring soaring high ceilings, original 10-inch wide-plank hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, and two (!) wood-burning fireplaces. Enjoy an in-unit washer/dryer, the ultimate NYC convenience. The first floor living room/dining room is spacious, with plenty of room for a dining area, ample living room furniture, and a separate office nook. In addition to a wood-burning fireplace, there is also a window that leads to a balcony that overlooks the beautiful common garden. The lower level bedroom features a second fireplace, a large walk-in closet, a bathroom with a washer/dryer, and plenty of room for a king-sized bed and a separate office space. There is an additional entrance from this level to the courtyard. The common courtyard features lush landscaping, vine-covered brick walls, inviting seating areas and a barbecue grill - a true oasis in the heart of the city! Arguably one of the prettiest courtyards in the entire city, it is a tranquil place to relax - you will feel as if you were transported in time and place to Europe at the turn of the last century! 47-49 King Street is an intimate, self-managed and well-run cooperative. Each apartment has its own large storage unit, and there is bike storage, a laundry facility, and a part-time superintendent. This small community of owners share respect for each other and their spaces, exemplifying the essence of a coop in its intended form. This prime village location offers the intimacy of a historic residential neighborhood along with next-door access to the city's best shopping, dining, nightlife, galleries and museums. Major companies like Google and Disney are nearby, reflecting the area's growing tech and media hub. Trader Joe's is just 3 blocks away, and the #1, A/C/E, B/D/F/M, R/W trains, and a Citi Bike station are all nearby. Not only is this a rare opportunity to be part of a very special village community, it is also the first resale of this apartment since the coop was formed in 1973 - it awaits your vision to be restored and updated to a level it so clearly deserves! Financing allowed: 75% Co-purchasing is allowed, but gifting, parents buying for children, and pieds-a-terre are not.
