444 East 58 Street   Unit GE

One of the more unique residential properties on the market, this apartment has to be seen to be understood. Located below the first floor of a handsome prewar co-op, the apartment is accessed via an external staircase from the sidewalk. Three walls of windows make the apartment feel airy even though it is sub-grade. There are painted concrete floors, brick and stone walls, and concrete arched ceilings with building pipes. Wooden bookshelves throughout have been custom designed to divide the space into living, sleeping, reading, kitchen, and bathroom areas. There is a shared garden in the rear which this apartment has direct access to, and an outdoor area on the side, also with a door.

The building has a laundry room, part time super and is impeccably maintained. Co-op board approval is required, showings by appointment. Sorry, no dogs.
