Description

Meticulously renovated with a fresh, modern aesthetic, this two-bedroom residence at 477 FDR Drive, M1602, pairs beautifully updated interiors with striking New York City views. The spacious living room sets an inviting tone with wood floors, crisp white walls, recessed lighting and an open layout that comfortably accommodates both relaxing and entertaining.

The fully-renovated kitchen combines clean design with everyday practicality. White Shaker cabinetry, sleek white stone countertops and a charcoal penny-tile backsplash create a sophisticated palette, complemented by stainless steel appliances, including a French-door refrigerator, gas range, microwave and dishwasher. An undermount sink with a spring-coil faucet and a breakfast peninsula beneath a slender pendant light complete the space, keeping the kitchen connected to the living area.

The windowed bathroom has been thoughtfully transformed with pale, large-format wall tiles, charcoal herringbone flooring and a glass shower enclosure featuring a rainfall showerhead, handheld spray and recessed niche. A white vanity, mirrored medicine cabinet and contemporary lighting bring together style and useful storage.

Two bedrooms continue the apartment’s cohesive finishes, with fresh white walls and ample natural light. Multiple closets throughout the home provide generous storage for clothing, linens and everyday essentials.

Windows throughout the apartment create a bright, airy atmosphere, framing views of the Williamsburg Bridge, the Midtown Manhattan skyline and the East River. The combination of open sky, iconic architecture and water gives this home a distinctly New York backdrop.

Beyond the apartment, residents enjoy landscaped private parks, two outdoor playgrounds, a well-equipped gym, basketball courts, a spacious laundry room and an indoor playroom, an appealing collection of amenities that makes daily life more convenient.

A standout neighborhood attraction is the newly reimagined East River Park, part of the transformative East Side Coastal Resiliency project. Bjarke Ingels Group developed the original coastal-protection concept and participated in the design team, with the NYC Department of Design and Construction leading delivery alongside its city partners. The renewed waterfront brings together sweeping river views, inviting lawns, landscaped gathering places and recreation, making the park a natural extension of life at home.

Enjoy a refreshing water-play feature during the summer months, along with tennis and basketball courts, ballfields and spaces for soccer and other outdoor activities as the park’s phased reopening progresses. The broader park renewal includes facilities for football and running, supporting an active outdoor lifestyle across the seasons. Waterfront paths offer a scenic setting for walks and runs, while planned improvements at East 14th Street will strengthen connections to paths farther north. Continuing waterfront improvements to the south will enhance access toward South Street Seaport and Battery Park.

Nearby, the Corlears Hook NYC Ferry landing offers a scenic commute to Wall Street/Pier 11 in approximately five to seven minutes, depending on the sailing. Direct service and connections across the ferry network put DUMBO, Greenpoint, Williamsburg, Red Hook, Pier 6, Sunset Park, Bay Ridge, Governors Island, East 34th Street, East 90th Street, Battery Park City, Midtown West, Roosevelt Island, Astoria, Long Island City and Rockaway within reach.

Getting around by land is equally convenient, with M14A-SBS, M22 and M21 bus service close to your doorstep, plus the M9 and F, M, J and Z trains at Delancey/Essex within walking distance.

Beautifully renovated interiors, iconic skyline views and Manhattan’s revitalized waterfront at your doorstep make this home as inviting as its surroundings.
