Sunglasses and a toothbrush. They dont come more special than this. Gutted to the studs and rebuilt from scratch, this Alphabet City studio is the rare thing: a truly turnkey home where every detail was considered and nothing was compromised. Bright, calm and pin drop quiet this labor of love is both unique and familiar. This is the kind of space that slows you down in the best way. Light pours in and the vistas offer a big open sky and the buildings of midtown as your backdrop. The kitchen is brand new and built to actually cook in. Closets are custom and cleverly designed. The bed is built in - every inch of this apartment earns its keep. Then there's the bathroom. Heated floors. Jet tub. Wall-hung Toto bidet. A private spa that happens to be yours every morning. In-unit washer/dryer. Six flights up but you already knew that was the trade, and the views make it an easy one. Step outside: Tompkins Square Park, great coffee, late-night everything, the L sneakily close by, and the crosstown bus all within reach.
