Listing Notes
HDFC Co-op | 165% AMI | Two-Bedroom Duplex with Outdoor Space Welcome to 521 East 6th Street, Apartment 5San HDFC cooperative offering a bright and spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex with outdoor space in the heart of Alphabet City. Situated five flights up, this thoughtfully configured home opens to a sun-filled main level with approximately 9.7-foot ceilings, exposed brick, and open southern views over classic East Village tenements. The renovated chef's kitchen is equipped with a Whirlpool and Bosch appliance package, including a dishwasher, and is complemented by a dedicated pantry. The generous layout comfortably accommodates separate living and dining areas, along with a flexible second room on this level that can function as a king-sized bedroom, den, or guest space, complete with built-in closets. A full bathroom and in-unit washer/dryer complete this floor. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers excellent light, ample closet space, and direct access to outdoor living, including a private south-facing balcony and a large shared terrace with open sky views. This level also features a second full bathroom and convenient access to the roof. The building is pet-friendly, and offers a complimentary laundry room for shareholders. Two community gardens on the block add to the neighborhood's charm. This is an HDFC cooperative and subject to board approval. Income restrictions apply at 165% of Area Median Income: 1 person: $187, 110 2 persons: $213, 840 3 persons: $240, 570 Due to HDFC income caps at this price point, financing is unlikely to be viable for most buyers. Putting down a high amount of cash, and taking out less financing, so long as it is below the 165% AMI, might be possible. A rare opportunity to own a bright, flexible home with outdoor space in one of downtown's most vibrant neighborhoods.
