Perched on the coveted 18th floor of Seward Park, this rarely available 2 bed (plus home office/den) residence presents a truly exceptional opportunity to create a show-stopping home. Boasting a massive private terrace and open southwest exposures, the apartment is flooded with natural light throughout the day, offering sweeping skyline views and breathtaking sunsets. Currently in need of a full gut renovation, the space serves as a blank canvas with outstanding bones and highly desirable proportions. The flexible layout allows for an easy addition of a second bathroom, further enhancing both functionality and long-term value. With thoughtful design, this home can be transformed into a modern, luxurious retreat that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living. Seward Park Coop, one of the lower East Sides most established and sought after coops, is an exceptional place to call home with loads of coop-owned gated outdoor grounds to get fresh air, gather, host parties or simply relax. Two separate gated children's playgrounds with water features, organic herb gardens, an indoor children's play room, gym, spacious community room with kitchen, business center, huge common laundry rooms, security staff, amazing full-service maintenance staff and stellar management complete this "cul-de-sac" of Manhattan! The neighborhood has evolved tremendously in the last few years with the Essex Crossing expansion that includes the highly revered Essex Market, (with 2 more blocks-worth of amenities still yet to be revealed below it), Regal Cinemas, Target and Trader Joes just across the street, The Gutter bowling and Lidl "Super" market about to open! The square block also includes a public library, local grocery store and a post office. As for food, the beloved Doughnut Plant, Kossars and Pickle Guys are just outside your front door, while some of the best restaurants and bakeries in the city are mere blocks away. This apartment is a less than 5 minutes to the F/M/J/Z trains and the M14A, M9, and M15 bus stops on the block. Easy access to the neighborhood public park with basketball/handball courts and playgrounds for the little ones. Also in close proximity is the fantastic East River Park waterfront with ferries to Brooklyn and multiple brand new and highly anticipated features about to reopen.
