196 ORCHARD STREET
A Taste Of The Lower East Side
By AP Connolly
Welcome to 196 Orchard, a collection of 89 design-driven condominium residences crafted by Incorporated Architecture & Design and developed by Magnum Real Estate Group in a location that continually inspires—the Lower East Side. A dynamic architectural statement enhanced by loft-like details includes ceilings up to 12 feet high and oversized industrial-style casement windows with imported gilded bronze glazed Spanish brick surrounds that overlook the tree-lined street.
Pique your interest? Then take a serious look at Apartment 8J. This 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home is a seamless blend of contemporary functionality and industrial chic. Features of this 2,184-square-foot apartment include a private terrace, designer-selected wide plank white oak flooring, unique concrete ceilings, oversized casement windows with northern exposure, warm color tones and textures, high-end fixtures and finishes, and a convenient in-home washer/dryer.
THE DETAILS
Meticulously furnished by Timothy Godbold, the Australian designer known for his bold patterns, use of texture, and fashion industry influences, 8J was inspired by the 1980s when the Lower East Side was the center of an artistic renaissance and features artwork from Keith Haring, LUXE Ultra suede-covered walls by Phillip Jeffries, and exposed concrete ceilings. Design elements include channeled wood paneling, a rare Saporiti chair designed in the 1950s, and covered in linen velvet.
Beyond a tasteful foyer adorned with a reach-in coat closet, the home flows into a spacious, open concept living room, dining room, and kitchen. The custom kitchen is equipped with an eat-in peninsula, bleached European walnut millwork, onyx lacquer cabinetry with under-cabinet LED lighting, sleek quartz countertops, and backsplash, and a suite of fully integrated appliances from Miele. The bedrooms possess private closet space and easy access to an immaculate marble bathroom with Waterworks fixtures and a custom vanity.
