About This Property
Set within a charming prewar cooperative in the heart of the East Village, Residence 5S is a distinctive two-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex offering a wonderful combination of space, light, and classic downtown character. Soaring 9.7-foot ceilings, exposed brick, open southern views, and a south-facing terrace give this home a special sense of warmth and character.

The renovated kitchen seamlessly combines style and functionality, with Whirlpool and Bosch appliances, a dishwasher, and a dedicated pantry. A well-proportioned bedroom with space for a king-sized bed, a full bathroom, and an in-unit washer and dryer complete this level.
Upstairs, the second bedroom serves as a peaceful retreat, offering abundant natural light, generous closet space, and direct access to a south-facing terrace with open views. A second full bathroom completes the upper level.
Built in 1900, 521 East 6th Street is an intimate, professionally managed, ten-unit prewar cooperative, ideally situated close by Tompkins Square Park and the neighborhood's celebrated restaurants, cafés, and boutiques.
