Bright one-bedroom pad off Union Square asks $4,900/month

December 29, 2016

This one-bedroom apartment comes from the Zeckendorf Towers, a 1980s development that encompasses four 29-story towers with 630 apartments. Although it is a condo complex, you can rent this particular unit for $4,900 a month. It’s particularly flexible as a sliding glass door that separates the bedroom also partitions off a bonus space which could be used as an office or nursery. The unit also benefits from built-in shelving and custom closets that maximize storage space.

This one bedroom is plenty spacious, with an open entertainment area lined with floor-to-ceiling shelving that can be separated into living and dining spaces. A breakfast bar that separates the kitchen provides some extra seating. One big drawback, though: the kitchen doesn’t come with an oven, just a stove top and space for a toaster oven.

Other perks include customized closets and a stereo and TV center that controls music in every room of the apartment.

The Zeckendorf Towers are located just east of Union Square and the development is credited with helping revitalize the area. Residents who live here enjoy tons of amenities like a large sundeck, landscaped roof gardens and courtyards, a full service health club, sauna, 60-foot pool and a “sky lobby.”

Quirky Union Square artist’s loft with a massive skylight and floating library cube asks $4M

By Michelle Cohen

An enormous north-facing skylight is the focal point of this sprawling 3,000-square-foot loft at 60 West 15th Street on the border between Chelsea and the Flatiron District. Currently, the quirky artist's quarters is also home to a large studio area, which, along with 11-foot ceilings, exposed brick and beams, and a very cool floating library cube adds to the ultra-creative vibe of the co-op, which is asking $3.995 million.

Rent the East Village party pad where Bret Easton Ellis wrote ‘American Psycho’

By Michelle Cohen

The East Village loft owned by novelist and literary bad boy Bret Easton Ellis is available for rent for $5,900 per month. Ellis has been renting out the studio apartment since he decamped for Los Angeles a decade ago; he told the Observer he's been holding on to the 950-square-foot, second-floor condo in the American Felt Building at 114 East 13th Street as a back-up plan, "if Los Angeles just doesn’t work out." The "American Psycho" scribe says he spent the late '80s living in the lofty studio–in his early 20s at the time–writing the iconic 1991 novel of late 20th century privilege, materialism and delusion and throwing massive Holly Golightly-esque bashes packed with his contemporaries back in the day in an East Village very different from today's.
