This is a rare opportunity in an amazing East Village location - just blocks away from the Lower East Side, NOHO, SOHO and the Village!  A sunny and spacious apartment occupying the entire 2nd floor in an attractive brick townhouse built in 1900.  Upon entering you will encounter French doors separating the living room and dining area from kitchen - and you will be drawn to the lovely and expansive garden views facing south, perfect for enjoying meals and entertaining.  The 10-foot high ceilings and original hardwood floors and details add charm and graciousness to the space.  Currently set up as a 2-bedroom apartment with a windowed home office/study, there's potential to remake the space as a loft or even a 3-bedroom. There are hookups for in-home laundry. The building is located on a tree-lined block within the EastVillage/Lower East Side Historic District and is 3 blocks from the F train at Second Avenue and the Whole Foods on Houston Street.   Enjoy endless neighborhood amenities including restaurants, unique shops, Tompkins Square and Sara Roosevelt Parks, Landmark Sunshine Theatre, Anthology Film Archives, community gardens, live music and theatre.  Around the corner is Manhattan's only cultural district: the Fourth Arts Block (FAB), home to more than a dozen arts groups, 10 cultural facilities and 17 performance and rehearsal venues.Please note that this is an HDFC cooperative with income restrictions and a mortgage may be difficult to obtain.  The following income guidelines are established by calculating 165% of the Federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) income guidelines for fiscal year 2013 for the NYC  area : (1) person:   $103,996; (2) persons:  $113,437.50;  (3) persons: $127,566; and (4) persons: $141, 694.   Feel free to call or email with your questions.
