Have you ever dreamed of living above a bookstore? Now's your chance. Coming later this year, Barnes & Noble will open directly below this elegant 1,244-square-foot, two-bedroom, two-bath residence at Steiner East Village, bringing books, culture, and an easy coffee break literally downstairs. It's a pretty irresistible East Village perk, and one that makes this home especially unique.Designed by Paris Forino, the residence pairs sophisticated interiors with a wonderfully serene sense of home. Oversized bronze-framed casement windows, 10'7" ceilings, and peaceful courtyard views fill the apartment with light, while wide-plank white oak floors and custom millwork add warmth and polish.The open chef's kitchen is beautifully appointed with Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Bosch appliances and luxurious marble finishes. The spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet and spa-like bath with radiant heated floors, a soaking tub, and separate shower. A second full bath, dramatic powder room, and in-unit washer/dryer complete the home. Steiner East Village is a full-service condominium with dual marquee entrances on 11th and 12th Streets, 24-hour concierge service, and a live-in resident manager. More than 16,000 square feet of amenities include a teak-ribbed indoor pool overlooking a private landscaped garden, spa sanctuary with steam room and sauna, 2,000-square-foot fitness center programmed by FitLore Health & Wellness, resident library with fireplace, and children's playroom.Outside, residents enjoy a 5,000-square-foot rooftop park and a 3,000-square-foot private courtyard. A beautifully designed East Village condo with a very good bookshop about to become your downstairs neighbor. A little bit of New York magic, and a pretty fabulous place to call home. Come take a look.
