Architectural Digest-Featured Duplex in the Former Studio of Sculptor Albino Manca

A 1,200 square foot duplex in the former studio of Italian sculptor Albino Manca, where he created the "Diving Eagle." Featured in Architectural Digest.

The main level rises to 20-foot ceilings against an 18-foot brick wall hand-laid by Manca himself. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living space, which is the whole point of this apartment in winter. Above it, a mezzanine bedroom in glass and Zebrawood floats over the room rather than closing it off.

The kitchen is built for actual cooking, with full-size appliances and prep space. Washer and dryer in unit.

The address sits on the West Village "Gold Coast," a quiet, tree-lined stretch of West 11th Street between Fifth and Sixth, with the city's best dining a short walk in every direction. Union Square, the A/C/E at 14th Street, and the 1 at Christopher Street are all close.

Available December through February, furnished and move-in ready. Open to extending for the right tenant.

131 West 11th Street, Apt 2, New York, NY 10011

Incentives

All utilities and high-speed wifi are included in the rent: gas, water, and internet are covered, with no accounts to open, transfer, or close. The apartment is fully furnished and move-in ready, so a tenant arrives with nothing to set up and leaves with nothing to settle.

Additional fees

Credit check required; the $20 fee is waived if you provide your own credit report issued within the last 30 days. Lease on a standard NYC form. Security deposit of one month's rent due at signing.
