504 GRAND St D33

Bring your Architect to this sun-drenched, gracious 3 bedroom apartment with southern and western exposures in the iconic Amalgamated Dwellings on the lower east side. Decorative marble fireplaces, 9 foot high ceilings, French doors, prewar crown and foot moldings, and original wood floors with border inlay serve as an elegant foundation for bringing the residence into the 21st century. A second bathroom may be added to the current floor plan with Board Approval.

Enter the apartment into a sizable foyer leading to multiple rooms. Straight ahead are the kitchen and a living/dining area, separate rooms both with western exposures. Combining the rooms and opening them onto the foyer would be ideal for more light, space and a modern lifestyle. To the left of the gallery is a generously sized bedroom or living room with an abundance of sunshine streaming through the southern exposed windows. The hallway leads to two additional bedrooms and a windowed bathroom. The corner bedroom or home office boasts double southern and western exposures with a view of Freedom Tower. Pets are welcome!
