For many homebuyers in New York City, outdoor space is a must-have amenity. While most will settle for any slice of green space or sliver of a balcony, this available East Village duplex offers both. The two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath condo at 62 East 1st Street offers a dreamy 1,000-square-foot backyard garden and patio, with a spacious balcony above it. The home is now on the market for $3,488,000.
On the first level, there’s an expansive open layout with living and dining areas, as well as the half-bath. Fit for a chef, the kitchen features a Wolf oven and stovetop, a Bosch dishwasher, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. The large center island is large enough to double as a breakfast bar.
Next to the kitchen, the current owner set up a work-from-home nook, made nice and bright thanks to the unique custom lighting above the desk as well as the oversized window.
Across from the living area is a decently sized dining area, which could host a dinner party. Two closets are another added perk.
After climbing the dramatic spiral staircase to the second floor, you’ll find a long hallway leading to the two bedrooms. Both bedrooms have access to the spacious balcony, but the large one features a lovely en-suite bath with a separate shower, jacuzzi tub, and towel heater. A washer-dryer and a second full bath with a soaking tub can also be found on this level.
The real stunner of this property remains its abundance of outdoor space, starting on the first level. The garden oasis feels secluded while still being very much joined to the rest of the home, connected by the second-floor balcony and floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The backyard boasts an EcoSmart fire pit, an irrigation system, and two entrances.
The apartment is located within 1st & First, a seven-story boutique condominium with just 10 units. Located on 1st Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues, the building is near all of the best dining, nightlife, and mom and pops of the East Village and Lower East Side.
