This elegant and striking one-bedroom, one and a half bath residence boasts old world European charm with soaring 16 foot ceilings and arched details in one of Manhattan's historically landmarked buildings. Constructed in 1888, The Abbey Condominium, located at 205 East 16th between Third Avenue and Rutherford Place, originally functioned as a parish house for St. George's Church next door. While the classic character and integrity of the building is maintained throughout, the home has been thoroughly renovated for modern day style and convenience.
