259 East 7th Street #2E

Home is in the Flowerbox Building, the eight-unit condominium that developer Seth Tapper and architect Derek Sanders raised in 2006 on a tree-lined block between Avenues C and D. The name is no affectation: eighteen-inch-deep planters run the width of the lower floors, and the large multi-paned windows borrow their proportions from the old industrial lofts of SoHo and Tribeca.

This 1,539-square-foot floor-through holds two bedrooms and two baths, with the back rooms looking out over the community gardens that still define this stretch of the neighborhood. A quiet block to come home to.
