Description

Finally, what you've been waiting for. 21 E 10th Street #2DE, an absolutely charming, bright and sprawling prewar corner home on a prime corner of Greenwich Village, is now on the market for the first time ever. The statistics are astonishing: 3 bedrooms (convertible to 4), 4 full bathrooms, 2 living rooms, 2 wood-burning fireplaces, 1 enormous eat-in kitchen, 1 separate laundry room, 1 classic entry foyer, 1 mudroom, countless closets and maintenance under $3,400. With tall, double-paned windows under 9' ceilings and bright, open views south and east, it feels higher up in the building. This estate sale is in good condition. You can move right in or renovate to fit your lifestyle. Perhaps best of all, the maintenance is under $3300!

Drop your shoes, coat, stroller or scooter in the mudroom before entering the large, classic foyer. This elegant combination apartment has a stellar flow and sense of peace and quiet, and lovely east and south exposures offering wide open street and tree-top views. Both living rooms are framed with beamed ceilings, arched entryways and bookcases, oak floors and wood-burning fireplaces with original decorative mantels. One living room is currently used as a dining area and a second sitting room but either can easily convert to a fourth bedroom or playroom or be opened further.
Each of the three, generously-sized bedrooms, all en suite and with large closets, inhabit a different corner of the apartment. In the fourth corner, facing south, is the remarkable kitchen -- truly the heart of this well-loved home. It is massive, filled with custom-designed wood cabinetry and pantries, a window seat with drawers, and a built-in desk with wine storage. The sun-blasted kitchen easily accommodates a table for eight. Stainless appliances, including two Verona wall ovens, a 5 burner cooktop, a French door refrigerator, Bosch microwave and Miele integrated dishwasher, are a cook's delight along with the vast stone countertops and glorious open south views.

The cherry on top is the windowed, vented laundry room with sink and cabinets. Oh, and the maintenance!

The Wordsworth, named after the 19th Century English poet whose love of nature and sympathy for the common man helped launch England's Romantic Age, was built in 1927. Original ironwork and carved panel doors greet you as you enter the intimate yet elegant lobby of this low-key cooperative. Impeccably run and financially sound, the coop boasts a live-in super and a porter, passenger and service elevators, a central laundry and bike storage. Pets are welcome but, sorry, no pieds a terre.
