Just off lower Fifth Avenue on the Village’s “Gold Coast” at 21 East 10th Street, this three/four bedroom co-op has the space, gracious floor plan, and pre-war bones that were once the standard of elegance for Manhattan living. Asking $3,695,000, the corner apartment offers the opportunity to create an additional bedroom, or to use the double living room layout for entertaining on a grand scale.
Classic details that frame the 1927 home include beamed ceilings, arched doorways, and oak floors. In the living rooms, back-to-back wood-burning fireplaces have retained their original mantels. The unit is high enough to get plenty of sunlight and treetop views, but no common walls and no residences below mean extra privacy.
A sprawling, sunny eat-in kitchen anchors the main living space, highlighted by a built-in window seat. There’s enough central space to accommodate a hefty dining table or add a center island. A separate dining area to one side means that one of the living rooms could become a fourth bedroom with plenty of square footage to spare.
In a private corner, the primary bedroom and bath have access to five (!) closets. In the current plan, access to the second living room makes it perfect for a large office or nursery.
Two additional chambers each get their own bath. A vented full laundry room with a sink–rarely found in a pre-war co-op–means no hassle with construction or permits to add your own.
Built in 1927, the Wordsworth is a well-maintained, pet-friendly cooperative; commercial income offsets costs, making maintenance charges a reasonable $3,400. Perks include an elegant lobby, a live-in superintendent, passenger and service elevators, central laundry, and bike storage.
