The creative character of the East Village is preserved in this terrific 2 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom coop on East 4th Street between First and Second Avenues.

Walk an easy 3 flights up and into an entry foyer, which leads past an updated chef's kitchen into a classic Downtown living room with exposed brick walls and rich hardwood floors.

French doors open into the primary bedroom, which has another exposed brick wall and a large window and pendant chandelier. Classic antique carved wood molding and skirting board add to the old New York charm.

The windowed kitchen feels like an artistic space, featuring updated cabinetry with stainless steel countertops, a stainless gas range, glass mosaic back splash as well as a dishwasher and microwave.

A short hallway leads to the updated bathroom with glass shower stall, modern tiles and a chic vanity with stainless steel and chrome accents, complementing the kitchen installation.

The second bedroom is just past the bath, at the opposite end of the home from the primary bedroom. Although this would make a great starter apartment with parental co-purchases possible with coop board approval, it's a fantastic value for anyone who loves living in the artistic and stylistic heart of Manhattan.
