1 / 6 
Long the home of a renowned artist, this oversized alcove studio is a truly distinctive residence offering a wonderful blend of character and flexible living space. Located just one block from Union Square, this colorful home overlooks the beautiful tree-lined street and townhouses on West 16th Street.
The generous floor plan creates separate areas for sleeping, working, and entertaining, making the apartment feel more like a one-bedroom than a traditional alcove studio. Custom built-in bookcases and cabinetry provide abundant storage along with three large closets. Whether you envision a comfortable living room, a dedicated home office or an enclosed bedroom, this apartment provides a wonderful opportunity to create a home tailored to your own style and vision.
The separate kitchen can be opened-up if you’d like a more loft-like feel; and the generously sized bathroom has been updated and is in good condition.
