247 Water Street, 2

Rich in luxury and steeped in history, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom loft is nestled in one of New York’s most historic buildings in an equally legendary neighborhood.

Step off the keyed elevator into this exquisite, nearly 2,000-square-foot home, and take in quintessential loft details — sweeping open space, abundant windows, painted brick and high ceilings punctuated by original columns — perfectly blended with modern touches including renovated kitchen and bathrooms, in-unit washer/dryer and central air conditioning. The sprawling great room is over 35-feet wide with five large window overlooking the cobblestone street below. Nearby, the wide-open kitchen gleams with quartz countertops and white subway tiles, while stainless steel appliances from Miele, Bosch and Fisher & Paykel will satisfy even the most discerning chef. A cozy alcove off the living area provides a perfect space for a home office, reading nook or small playroom. Each of the bedrooms enjoys the brick detail and natural light that characterize the home, while renovated bathrooms include spa-like touches and meticulous attention to detail and style.

The 1837 building, Coppersmith Landing, gains its moniker from its original use housing coppersmith Samuel Thompson. It's a shining example of Greek Revival style architecture of the time and has been designated a National Historic Landmark. Only five units occupy this boutique building, providing optimal privacy and security. The building features a shared roof deck, very low maintenance fees and is set near Manhattan’s storied waterfront and the plentiful shopping, cafes, bars and family activities of the revitalized Financial District. Nearby Fulton Street station offers easy access to the 2/3, 4/5 and A/C trains and the East River Ferry is mere minutes away.
