Description

Spacious and luminous, this oversized one-bedroom home features floor-to-ceiling windows with open western views of downtown Manhattan. This A-line offering - a coveted floorplan within the building - also includes a massive deeded storage unit for additional space. Wraparound pixelated windows highlight the well-appointed open floor plan, creating distinctly separate spaces for each living and dining.

The king-sized, western-facing bedroom offers ample storage space and Freedom Tower views.

Separating the living space and bedroom is a large foyer closet, adjacent an additional washer/dryer closet with Bosch laundry facilities. The windowed bathroom features high-end fixtures including a deep soaking Zuma tub, a Toto toilet and Duravit washbasin and faucets. Blue, designed in 2007 by renowned architect Bernard Tschumi, is an iconic Lower East Side tower comprised of only 32 units. The building offers a full-time doorman, concierge services, a bike room, an 8,000 square foot manicured roof terrace with teak lounges and a bonus second terrace.

The surrounding neighborhood is flourishing with activity – the new Essex Street Market, Equinox, and an array of world-renowned restaurants and amenities are just moments away. Moments from a transit hub makes for easy commuting, too. There is an ongoing capital assessment for this unit in the amount of $142.70.
