Here’s a rare opportunity to live in a freestanding home right in the heart of the East Village with this carriage house at 217 East 5th Street. The one-bedroom residence spans over four levels and includes three outdoor spaces that are ready for all your entertaining needs. Fresh off an extensive renovation—the top three levels were stripped to the studs and entirely rebuilt—the rare property seeks $3.49 million.

The entrance is through the five-story pre-war building at 217 East 5th Street, which houses the other nine residences that make up the co-op. You’ll find the door at the back of the ground floor, which leads into a private bluestone courtyard.

Rooms are spread over the levels, with the main floor dedicated to a large living room that’s primed for entertaining with a gas fireplace (there are three throughout the home), a wet bar, a built-in wine fridge, and french doors opening onto the courtyard. A large coat closet and a powder room round out this floor.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a large formal dining room with a sitting area next to another fireplace.
