201 E 21st St Unit 11R, New York, NY 10010

Property Description

Apartment 11R at 201 East 21st Street is a special two-bedroom co-op with real southern light, the kind that arrives through oversized windows in long lateral bands that move across the floor as the day progresses. The living and dining area is large. Larger than you’re probably expecting, which is a sentence you almost never get to write honestly about Manhattan real estate. The layout has that particular proportionality that makes a room feel designed for people who actually live in it. There’s a separate dining space. This will matter to some of you in ways you won’t fully articulate until you’re sitting at a table that isn’t also your couch. Two walk-in closets in a Manhattan two bed is evidence that someone, somewhere, made a very good decision about how to use space. Gramercy is one of those Manhattan neighborhoods that has avoided becoming a concept. Tree-lined, human scaled, close enough to Union Square and the subway lines at 14th Street to feel connected while private. What 11R offers is space, light, storage, and the quiet that comes from being eleven floors up on a south-facing corner in a neighborhood that has decided, against all odds, to remain itself. Quaker Ridge is a postwar co-op built in 1963 and converted in 1982, situated on the northeast corner of Third Avenue and 21st Street. The building is full-service, with full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, central laundry, bike room, and an on-site parking garage with direct building access. Co-purchasing and pets are permitted. Guarantors and pieds-à-terre are not. Subway access includes the 4/5/6, N/Q/R/W, and L trains.
