This one-bedroom co-op offers a big foyer, breakfast nook and plenty of room for books. Located on the top floor of a 1940 Colonial Revival building at 221 East 18th Street, it nods to the era’s streamlined style with simple lines, a gently curved nook and built-in shelves in a niche in the entry.

The building was designed by prolific apartment house architects Kavy & Kavovitt, and an early brochure touted built-in hampers, concealed radiators, cross ventilation and Colonial fixtures.
