A building stands or it doesn't. This one has stood since 1900, five stories of brick on a block that has outlasted punk clubs and a century of New York weather. Inside: real hardwood floors, true exposed brick, a working fireplace. The kitchen and bathroom have been brought current - dishwasher, wine cooler, in-unit washer and dryer. Step onto the balcony and the East Village opens below, the same streets that gave the city McSorley's and Tompkins Square Park.
Good design respects what came before it. Crown molding holds the ceiling line the way it has for over a century; modern systems run quietly underneath. St. Marks Place is a short walk away, the M15 around the corner, the 6, N, and R lines minutes off. A home should hold you and let you go, easily, in both directions. This one does.
The East Village is a buzzing hub of youthful energy and activity, boasting bookstores, cafes, galleries, and hip bars. Situated between 3rd avenue and the East River, with 14th street to the north and Houston to the south, this neighborhood is both stylish and laid back. Once the most vibrant art scene in NYC, it remains a trendy neighborhood to the avant-garde while also boasting a much more polished edge, complete with luxury condos, franchised coffee shops, and plenty of lunch spots.

Since then, the art scene of the East Village exploded with series like Andy Warhol's…
