Priced to sell! This gracious pre-war loft one bedroom and the size of its interior spaces is second to none. It blends its retained period features, lots of natural light and extra-large proportions to deliver an excellent low-maintenance apartment in a highly desirable historic neighborhood, just moments from some of the best cafes and dining options in New York City.

The first thing you notice upon entering this expansive apartment are the tall 12.5ft ceilings that give the living area an uplifting sense of space. There are four large windows that flood the rooms with sunlight. The layout is user-friendly with separate areas for living and dining along with a well-appointed galley kitchen with a gas cooker and dishwasher, a double-sized bedroom with two large windows and plenty of built-in closet space and storage throughout. The bathroom has been renovated and comes complete with a deep soaking tub.

The property offers a rare chance to purchase a quality 1-bed 1-bath apartment for under $1M on Irving Place, one of the most desirable streets in the city. It provides a quiet haven on a leafy block with quick and convenient access to all the attractions of Manhattan. From here you are surrounded by an array of trendy wine bars, cafes, historic Pete's tavern, subway station N/W/R/Q/4/5/6/L, the Union Square Greenmarket where all of the city's top chefs shop 4 days a week and just a couple of blocks from both Gramercy Park and Union Square Park.

The Gramercy is one of the area's finest residential buildings and is a landmark complex that has recently undergone a total renovation of all its common elements. Originally a schoolhouse in the 1800s, it became a co-op in 1950 and comes complete with a part-time doorman, an upgraded marble entry lobby and video intercom security.
