Welcome to this expansive and serene alcove studio in the heart of Gramercy. Thoughtfully updated and exceptionally quiet, this oversized home offers ample space for living, dining, sleeping, and working from home, all in one beautifully designed layout. The entry foyer opens into a generous living space and features two large closets for extra storage. The kitchen has been fully renovated with sleek modern finishes, top-of-the-line appliances, and sparkling countertops, making it as functional as it is stylish. The dining area flows seamlessly into a spacious living room with northern exposure and a wall of windows overlooking a peaceful, tree-lined courtyard. With windows that open to a lovely breeze, this home is so quiet you’ll forget you’re in Manhattan. The sleeping alcove comfortably fits any size bed, with additional space for nightstands or a dresser. A passthrough closet leads to a fully upgraded bathroom and a separate dressing area. For added privacy, the alcove can be easily converted into a true one-bedroom layout with a pressurized wall or bookshelf divider. Located in the full-service Gramercy Arms cooperative, this building offers a renovated lobby, 24-hour doorman, live-in super, on-site handyman, and two porters. Residents enjoy access to a pristine laundry room, a bike room, and a parking garage with direct access into the building. Pied-à-terre ownership is permitted, and gifting, co-purchasing, and purchasing for working children are considered on a case-by-case basis. The co-op also boasts excellent financials and a substantial reserve fund. Just one block from the East 15th Street entrance to the Union Square subway station, this location offers effortless access to the N, Q, R, W, 4, 5, and 6 trains, as well as Citi Bike right outside the front door. You’ll also be moments from Union Square, Gramercy Park, Stuyvesant Square, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Westside Market, and some of the best dining and shopping in the city. As a former resident, I can personally attest this is truly a wonderful place to call home.
