<p>&nbsp;</p> <p> This zen modernist home has a rare relationship with Tompkins Square Park. It sits just above where the treeline meets the city, so morning light moves through the branches and into the space before the rest of the neighborhood wakes up. Throughout the day the atmosphere shifts with the weather. Snow, rain, and late-day sun all read differently from this vantage point, and the park becomes part of the interior experience rather than a distant view.</p> <p>This expansive loft designed by notable modernist architect Joel Sanders creates an uninterrupted space that lives with the ease of a retreat while staying connected to its surroundings. The entire space utilizes bespoke custom materials. The open layout is framed by custom millwork and whitewashed floors that keep the environment calm, luminous and open. Because it combines two units, including a corner position, it spans much of the building's frontage and captures the park and skyline exposures typical of two apartments.</p> <p> The kitchen is quietly refined with integrated appliances and a sculpted island that works naturally for cooking, working, or hosting. The sleeping area follows the same clean modernist lines. The bath introduces an intimate mood with stone surfaces and warm lighting, anchored by a soaking tub that reinforces the sense of retreat.</p> <p> Daily life here extends beyond the walls. Stepping out of Christodora House places you immediately into Tompkins Square Park and onto one of the most beautiful stretches of Avenue B, a historic corridor of early twentieth-century architecture between Seventh and Tenth Street. The area has become a center for dining and culture, with several of the city's highest-rated restaurants, celebrated bars, and independent caf&eacute;s all within minutes. The park's dog run, one of the best in the city, and its ongoing revitalization add to the sense of community and nature woven into everyday living.</p> <p> Christodora House is a full-service prewar condominium with a 24 hour doorman, laundry on every floor, and renovated common areas. Known for its creative history and unmistakable presence, it remains one of the East Village's most recognizable buildings.</p> <p> This home offers an uncommon pairing: quiet, treetop calm with the expanse and drama of downtown views. It is a place that feels lifted above the city while still deeply connected to it.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
