Description

Set in the heart of the Lower East Side, 242 Broome offers contemporary downtown living within one of Manhattan’s most dynamic and historic neighborhoods. Designed by acclaimed SHoP Architects, the building is distinguished by its champagne-toned façade, which subtly mirrors the surrounding streetscape while bringing a distinctly modern presence to the neighborhood. Inside, DXA Studio pairs marble, blackened steel, and rich wood finishes to create sophisticated interiors that feel both elevated and inviting. Benefits from a 421-a tax abatement running through 2038.

Spanning 1,450 square feet, this beautifully appointed two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence features 9-foot ceilings and 7-inch-wide white oak flooring throughout. South and west exposures bring natural light into the expansive open living and dining area, offering plenty of flexibility for both everyday living and entertaining.

The open kitchen is finished with warm walnut cabinetry, polished Calacatta marble countertops and backsplash, and a generous island. A suite of fully integrated Gaggenau appliances includes a 36-inch five-burner gas cooktop, oven, separate speed oven, refrigerator, freezer, garbage disposal, and wine refrigerator.

The primary bedroom features Lutron dimmers, two generous fully outfitted closets, and a beautifully finished en-suite bathroom with radiant heated floors. Alanur honed marble, Imperial Danby countertops, a custom walnut vanity, Duravit fixtures, and a spacious shower with thermostatic and volume controls create a serene, spa-like setting. The second bedroom also includes its own en-suite marble bathroom with a bathtub.

Additional conveniences include a walk-in closet off the entry, providing excellent storage throughout the residence. An elegant powder room features honed marble flooring, a floor-to-ceiling mirror, and a Corian vanity and sink. Electric shades have been installed throughout. An in-unit washer and dryer completes the home.

Residents of 242 Broome enjoy a thoughtfully curated collection of amenities, including a 24-hour doorman and concierge, on-site building manager, fitness center with changing areas, resident entertainment lounge with kitchen, children's playroom, flexible recreation space and billiards, and a landscaped rooftop terrace with outdoor dining.

Beyond the residence, the Lower East Side continues to cement its place as one of New York City’s most exciting cultural destinations. Nearby Orchard Street has been recognized as one of the "coolest streets in the world", with its eight blocks offering an eclectic mix of independent shops, sought-after dining destinations, galleries, nightlife, and the neighborhood’s characteristic low-rise brick architecture. The area is home to the International Center of Photography (ICP), a leading institution dedicated to photography and visual culture, further adding to the neighborhood's dynamic arts and cultural landscape.

With striking architecture, refined interiors, custom storage, and a location surrounded by the culture, dining, and creative energy of the Lower East Side, this residence offers a sophisticated take on modern downtown living. Just steps from Trader Joes.
