735 East 9th Street #3FW

The building dates to 1920 and sits on the deep-Alphabet stretch of East 9th between Avenues C and D, a short walk from Tompkins Square Park. Its apartments carry the marks of a loft conversion: generous ceilings, exposed brick, the open proportions that come from a floor plate built for something other than living. This one holds three bedrooms and two baths behind that loft frame.

The block has long drawn a creative crowd, and the co-op has its share of art-world lore attached to it. What stays with you in 3FW is quieter than any of that: the light moving across brick in a room that was never meant to be small.
