CONTRACT OUT. Alcoved junior 1BR CONDO in move-in condition with A+ Soho/Village border location, extraordinarily low monthly carry costs, and a perfect layout. Whether as an investment, a 1st time buyer, or pied-a-terre, this wonderfully peaceful apartment has all the charm and warmth associated with pre-war Greenwich Village and Soho apartments - - yet is also perfectly livable and comfortable, very quiet, and has attractive South-Western light with tree-top and sky views.

Located in a well-kept condominium building and situated on the central border of Soho and Greenwich Village, the apartment has a loft-like quality to it, and is only 3 flights up (no elevator). Features here include exposed brick with a decorative fireplace arch, high ceilings, an open and tastefully renovated kitchen, central A/C (split system), a full-sized bathroom, and oversized windows. This is a very tranquil and relaxing place to come home to, and the views, light and privacy afforded here are rarely found anywhere near this price range. Currently configured as an alcove 1BR with a mobile custom double-closet module that allows varying bedroom size/layout options (your preference - leave it as a large and open lofty alcove studio, or easily create a separate windowed bedroom area which accommodates a queen or full-sized bed). Very tasteful and solid place to call home - - professionally managed condo, low monthly common charges ($290/month!), and an A+ central downtown location.

496 Laguardia Place is a well-cared for boutique pre-war condominium perfectly situated at the central intersection of SoHo and Greenwich Village, and is only a few minutes' stroll to either west or east side transportation. And, more importantly, the apartment is quiet, bright, and only a few steps to all the incredible cafe's, restaurants, and wonderful shops that Soho and the Village offer. Easy walk to West Village, Nolita, Union Sq., Trader Joes, etc. This is not your typical tenement-style apartment (nor your typical pre-war building), both are very well kept and managed. You simply can't go wrong with this home.
