Above quintessential Lower East Side rooftops with open sky and garden views, Residence E44/E45, a prewar artist's loft, has fifteen windows facing south, west and north. Held by the same family since the 1930s conversion, this is the first time the combined apartment has been offered. The approximately 1,700 square foot apartment is currently configured as two combined apartments with two stock certificates, intentionally structured to give the owner flexibility to configure it however desired. The foyer opens to a spacious living space facing a quiet stretch of Grand Street, with a second set of west and north facing windows set back toward the gardens and bedrooms. Art Deco details remain intact throughout: original steel casement windows and doors, approximately nine-foot ceilings and beautifully restored hardwood floors, all in excellent condition. The kitchen is open, both bathrooms windowed. Architect's plans show a potential reconfiguration to four legal bedrooms and either a third windowed bath or a laundry room with washer and dryer in the space. A similar combination has been built in this line, and just sold. The Amalgamated’s   “E” building is the best in the complex, the one where the amenities live. Gym, laundry room and community room are all downstairs, along with bike storage and a package room. Live-in super, 24/7 security, a community garden. Dogs are welcome. Pied-à-terre use and gifting are both permitted. The co-op is located near major transportation hubs (F,M,J,Z, M14A, Ferry), Trader Joes/Target, Essex Crossing, East River Park, and many restaurants and cafes. There is a monthly assessment of $354 for a new boiler which will go through May 2029.
