On tree-lined East 10th Street, just past your favorite Tuscan restaurant and world-renowned antique shops, awaits your classic, recently and beautifully renovated, pre-war loft retreat, beckoning you home.

Ascend the key-locked elevator directly into the expansive living room and gaze out the exquisitely restored, original oak-framed and wrought iron detailed, floor-to-ceiling picture windows onto your favorite street. Tuck yourself into a sunny nook to read that book you've meant to get to. Entertain in the great room, or simply relax - the exposed brick walls soaring to vaulted ceilings over 11 feet above, the gorgeous mahogany beams replete with recessed lighting, and the custom millwork throughout the loft, all contribute to a serene and elegant residence, which is centrally air-conditioned for your comfort.

Moving into the heart of the home, you find a generous dining area, mirrored by a perfectly appointed chef's kitchen. Pendant lighting suspended from a tin ceiling lights up the breakfast bar for a quick bite or, if you are pulling out all the stops, you have everything you need to entertain on a grand scale: Wolf range and microwave, Subzero refrigerator/freezer and wine fridge, abundant cabinetry and plenty of gleaming stone countertop space on which to work your magic!

Does savoring a cup of coffee or a nightcap in the fresh air appeal to you? Down the hallway, the French doors in your primary bedroom suite invite you to this very luxury, leading you out to your private balcony. Also en-suite is a well-designed dressing area and a glorious bath with double sinks, soaking tub, stall shower and radiant heat floors.

Down that same hallway, you will find two more rooms, both windowed and with impressive closet space, as well as another beautifully tiled bathroom, also with radiant heat floors, which holds the washer/dryer.

34-36 East 10th Street, located between University Place and Broadway in the heart of Greenwich Village, is a boutique co-op, consisting of 18 residences, each accessed individually by key-locked elevator. Built in 1903, it is well-managed (as evidenced by its low monthly fees) and exquisitely maintained. Recent upgrades include elevator modernization, new roof, facade work, boiler conversion to gas, and new gas risers. Pets are welcome on a case-by-case basis. Pieds-a-terre are not permitted.

The neighborhood is highly sought after for its fine dining and antique shops, beautiful, landmarked architecture and for its convenience: situated directly between Washington Square Park and Union Square Park, it is within easy access of grocery and convenience shopping of all varieties (Wegman's! Whole Foods! Trader Joe's!), the emerging tech hub, and numerous public transportation lines. Life is well lived here.
