This is a rare opportunity to own piece of an East Village architectural treasure. Set on a quiet residential block in Alphabet City, this loft-like two-bedroom, two-bathroom home features floor-to-ceiling windows that engage with the colorful street life and the building's characteristic lush greenery. A showstopping split-level design includes ceilings nearly 13 feet high, a sunken living room, and full size casement windows in the living room, dining room, and both bedrooms. Enter through the private keyed elevator and take in the cathedral view: an inviting panorama of light, space, and beautifully balanced relationship between nature and domesticity. While open and airy, the sunken living room and separate dining area create elegant and practical structure. Descend the floating stairs into the living room, where the casement windows, nearly 12 feet tall, flood the space with southern light from the nearly 13-foot ceiling down to the polished concrete floor. Enjoy huge views onto East 7th Street—the building's many plantings afford both liveliness and privacy without blocking the light or the historic Greek Revival townhouses across the street. Both the kitchen and dining room overlook the living room, creating a sense of community and flow while still occupying their own distinct areas. The kitchen is generous and open, with appliances from Viking and Sub-Zero, including a six-burner gas range and a built-in wine refrigerator. Adjacent, the dining room easily seats ten, and is lined with cabinetry for additional storage. At the north side of the loft, each bedroom is large and bright, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the mature plantings and charming gazebo of the Green Oasis Community Garden, at the rear of the building. At 17,787 square feet, Green Oasis is one of the East Village’s largest permanent gardens. The primary bedroom suite includes a dedicated dressing area/walk-in closet, plenty of room for a seating area, and an en-suite bathroom with double vanity. The second bedroom is similarly generous, and has its own full bathroom across the hall. Additional features of the apartment include a laundry room with Miele appliances, ample closets and built-ins with custom doors, central radiant heating and cooling, and designer fixtures throughout. The Flowerbox is named for its spectacular self-watering planters, designed and maintained by Mac Carbonell of Verdant NY, which turn the building’s entire facade into a vertical garden. Quietly tucked away on this sought-after block of East 7th Street, the Flowerbox features a doorman and a twenty-year history as a fixture of the neighborhood. The location offers access to some of New York’s best restaurants, cultural gems, and vibrant parks and gardens. Constructed in 2006, the intimate building consists of only eight residences and has been described by multiple publications as “one of the best buildings in New York.” ## Property Details - **Price**: $2,495,000 - **Potential Buyer Rebate**: $62,375 - **Bedrooms**: 2 - **Bathrooms**: 2 - **Living Area**: 1,539 sqft - **Property Type**: Residential - **Year Built**: 2006 - **Building**: Flowerbox Building - **Neighbourhood**: East Village - **Area / Borough**: Manhattan - **Subdivision**: East Village - **Listing Office**: Compass - **State**: NY ## Estimated Potential Buyer Savings Real Estate Rebate Team estimates potential buyer savings of up to **$62,375** at closing. *Estimated by Real Estate Rebate Team.
