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 sun-drenched main level features a generous living and dining area framed by south-facing windows overlooking a picturesque, tree-lined street. 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. With its distinctive prewar character and prime East Village location, 521 East 6th Street offers a wonderful opportunity to experience the best of downtown living.
