Description

Wonderful location! You have a rare opportunity to own a newly renovated, secure, functional two-bedroom CONDO located at the nexus of Flatiron, Chelsea, and Greenwich Village! This apartment offers you 1+ bedrooms and 2 full baths, in a first-floor condo in the full-service Oculus building near Union Square.

This high-ceilinged unit has a large, one-bedroom suite and a second convertible room with a full-sized Murphy Bed, custom shelving, and a custom, built-in closet.

This beautiful space was recently renovated to add both charm and function.

The entryway has a large coat closet and functions as a mud room.

Off the hallway is a Samsung W/D, which is vented. The living room is expansive, has a built-in desk in the corner,
faces north, and opens to a U-shaped kitchen with a suite of Viking appliances, including a 30" range, a freezer-on-bottom refrigerator, and a wine fridge. The primary bedroom also faces north, and has an en-suite bathroom with double sinks, soaking tub, separate steam shower with shower bench, and heated floors.

The corridor between the primary bedroom and the primary bath contains three closets, which are all outfitted. Overall, the unit's 1,061 square feet are well-laid out and beautifully finished. Oversized windows allow the apartment to be flooded with light.

Well-priced at under $2 million, this is the perfect primary residence or pied-à-terre, close to all the attractions of Downtown.

The Oculus, built in 2007, is a full-service luxury condominium with a striking lobby, 24-hour doorman service, a live-in super, and a charming rooftop deck with Empire State Building views.

It is steps from the Union Square Farmer's Market and Fifth Avenue shopping, and a short stroll from the nightclubs and restaurants of Chelsea and the West Village. Common charges are $1,281 monthly, and RET are $1,525 per month. The building allows long-term rentals, and its coveted location has allowed recent listings at rental pricing of $97/sf.
