The cool two-bedroom co-op in the Thomas English Muffin Building is listed on the market for $2.195 million. The property has a cool duplex space with an even cooler private garden.
According to 6SQFT, the co-op is beautifully located in a landmarked building and features gorgeous wood floors, whitewashed exposed brick and high ceilings. There's a den on the main floor which could be converted to a bedroom. It also offers a master bedroom and a powder room.
The cozy den has been outfitted with "City Quiet Windows" to keep noise on the down low, the listing says. Located on the lower level are the living room and the kitchen. There is also a room being used as a recording studio which could be converted to a walk-in closet, office or even large pantry.
The living room of the co-op is outfitted with a wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen has been renovated with marble walls, backsplash and flooring, with stainless steel appliances, and a mini wine fridge.
The master bedroom is accented by a dark wall color and some fancy lighting. The windows here overlook the home's private garden.
As the apartment is duplex and so is the garden. The multi-level garden is landscaped and has an irrigation system set up. If passing on to the top of the unit, there is a Buddha and some nice shade waiting to be seen.
6SQFT also added that in 1874, Samuel Bath Thomas left England to move to New York. According to Daytonian in Manhattan, Thomas opened his first bakery at 163 9th Avenue in 1880. The English baker knew he had a valuable recipe on his hands that had yet to be introduced to New Yorkers.
The four-story brick building was popularly known as "The Muffin House." Below the building, there's a preserved bakery oven in the now modest coop complex. And this is not just any old oven, this is the oven once operated by a very well-known baker, who was responsible for introducing English muffins to the U.S.
