floor with unimpeded vistas that extend over Abingdon Square Park and the Arthur Strickler Triangle to the downtown skyline.
Clean as a whistle and ready for occupancy, if a bit out of date, the condo’s many charms include original oak floorboards, period moldings, high, beamed ceilings, and a working fireplace in the step-down living room. A dining area off the petite foyer leads to a windowed galley kitchen. Natural light pours in through six south-facing windows, and storage is abundant; three of the condo’s four closets are spacious walk-ins , and the unit conveys with a private storage unit.
Besides its coveted location and pre-war charm and proportions, the 17-story building towers above the neighborhood’s more typically three- and four-story buildings and, as such, is prized for its views. The building also offers doorman services and a plush lobby with a classy black-and-white checkerboard floor. An in-unit washer and dryer is not allowed, but there is a communal laundry room.
Even though interest rates are suppressing prices and slowing buyer interest in many markets across the country, the asking price is in line with previous sales. Even if the 14-floor condo sells for the full asking price, it won’t be the highest amount paid for an E-line unit in recent years; in 2017, according to tax and property records, the all-but-identical apartment directly upstairs went for $2.95 million.
