**All appointments - including Sunday Open Houses - are by appointment only. If you are working with another agent, that agent needs to reach out to make the appointment and is required to be present** A genuine one-bedroom with a separate, windowed cook's kitchen - the kind of layout that's getting harder to find in this price range on the Lower East Side. At approx. 750 square feet, JGC lives larger than its number, and every room is a real room. A proper entry foyer opens into a generously sized living room with space to both lounge and dine. The adjoining windowed kitchen is the standout: an abundance of wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, a full suite of stainless-steel appliances, and a dishwasher - with room left over to add counter space or a breakfast nook. It's a kitchen built for actual cooking, not a galley afterthought. A hallway lined with two large closets leads to the renovated windowed bathroom, finished with a new vanity and sink, a new toilet, an oversized mirrored medicine cabinet, and recessed shelving in the tub surround. The king-sized bedroom faces northwest and holds two walk-in closets that can be combined into one wall-to-wall walk-in - plus room for a work-from-home setup. Throughout: [CEILING HEIGHT - confirm 9' for the J-line]" beamed ceilings, solid wood-plank floors, updated light fixtures and hardware, and updated baseboards. Prefer an open plan? The kitchen wall can be opened toward the living room and foyer for an expansive, light-filled layout - ask to see the alternate floor plan. Hillman Housing Corporation is one of the Lower East Side's most established co-op communities - part of the beloved Co-op Village that has anchored this neighborhood for generations. Building amenities include a fitness center, modern laundry facilities (in-unit washer/dryer permitted with management approval), bike storage, cold storage, a children's playroom, a community garden, composting, and on-site super and maintenance staff. Two private parks and playgrounds are reserved exclusively for residents, and there's an on-site parking garage (fee, waitlist). Co-op policies are notably flexible: co-purchasing, gifting, guarantors, parents buying, and pied-á-terre use are all permitted, with subletting allowed after two years of ownership. Dogs up to 35 lbs welcome. The location is exceptional - and getting better. Essex Crossing is a short walk away, bringing Target, Trader Joe's, Regal Cinemas, and Essex Market under one roof. The rebuilt East River Park has reopened at the waterfront with a reconstructed amphitheater, tennis and basketball courts, ballfields, BBQ areas, and open lawns, part of a $1.45 billion transformation still underway. The new Corlears Hook pedestrian bridge connects the park directly to Corlears Hook Park and the NYC Ferry terminal, where a boat to Williamsburg, Greenpoint, or Long Island City costs the same as a subway ride. The M14A stops at the corner, the M21 runs across the street, and the M22 and M14D are a block away, linking you to the East Village, SoHo, the West Village, and Chinatown. The J, M, F, and Z trains are at Delancey and Essex, with the F also at East Broadway.
