onefinestay, A Licensed Real Estate Broker is proud to add Rooftop Cottage to our NYC collection. Rooftop Cottage sits atop an example of pre-war architecture within the popular East Village. This elegant home offers peaceful accommodation close to the F Train, making it convenient to get around New York.

Nestled in the heart of the eclectic East Village, spend many hours browsing vintage clothes stores and bookshops. Pick up breakfast bagels and culinary supplies from nearby Russ & Daughters and Whole Foods, and end the day by indulging in delicious food from one of the many restaurants and cuisines on offer nearby. For culture enthusiasts, the New Museum is close by and is one of the leading museums for contemporary art. For the gourmands in your group, a trip to the fun and flavoursome Museum of Ice Cream is a must.

Formerly part of Minthorne Farm, this five-storey property (of which Rooftop Cottage sits across two) was built in 1868 and showcases its charming period features beautifully. Delightful parquet wooden floors, log-burning fires and antique furniture marry blissfully alongside floor-to-ceiling statement windows. Modern colour schemes, furnishings and artwork produce restful spaces, with two spacious living rooms to relax in or entertain on the grand piano. The unique and well-equipped open-plan kitchen-diner boasts bold primary colours alongside grooved wooden cabinetry and a central island.

Rooftop Cottage has four airy bedrooms, with crisp white linen and walls that allow the cityscape views to impress. The primary bedroom houses a stunning super-king four-poster bed and a chic ensuite with a freestanding tub. The second ensuite bedroom provides a king-size bed, while the final two bedrooms house cosy queen-size beds.

A highlight of this period home is the enchanting rooftop terrace, a spacious green area with colourful planting. Enjoy al fresco dining, looking out over the city, or unwind at one of the verdant local parks, such as the leafy Peretz Square.
