Live the ultimate East Village experience inside this $1.2M condo
With a footprint larger than a typical home, a sprawling East Village loft-style condo offers the rare chance to live, work or combine the two in a space Realtor BJ Knapp calls a “one-of-one” experience. Locals and visitors passing The Creamery ice cream shop and Aimée fashion boutique at 424 E. Locust St. might never guess that a sprawling 5,075-square-foot residence sits just above them. “There's so much room, so much space,” Knapp said. The condo’s size, location and possibilities are unusual, and so is its $1.2 million asking price, which was set using sales of smaller penthouses across the metro as comparisons. The condo delivers classic downtown loft style with hardwood floors, exposed brick, a gas fireplace and a wall of windows that fills the expansive main space with natural light. The open-plan kitchen includes an island and existing equipment, and Knapp noted that if future owners were considering remodeling, there is immediate potential to create a showstopping kitchen. The entire building and some of its neighbors date back to 1880, with this section undergoing extensive renovations in 2012. Knapp explained the loft has “a nice little flow to it,” and acknowledged the next tenant might decide to decorate
