10 Beach Street, 3-FLR

Price Reduced! Authentic Artist's Loft-Tribeca.

Unique opportunity to create a 2 or 3 bedroom home! First time on the market in 28 years; the current owners are only the second owners of the space since the building went coop in 1976! This intimate 6 story building was built in 1908 & originally served as an egg & cheese warehouse. It was the first cast concrete & steel building built in NYC. Each floor is concrete, with windows on three sides & no load-bearing walls. It is extraordinarily quiet, due to the thick deck between each floor. Each unit consists of an entire floor. Two floors are currently used as studios & there are at present only 8 residents in total in the building.

In 1976 this unique structure was developed into a residential loft building & became one of the first coops in the area, retaining its original skylight freight elevator. Originally, one quarter of the third floor was an office and the rest was a walk- in refrigeration unit. The manual elevator opens right onto your own private floor which features 11 foot beamed ceilings & a total of 11 windows. The sumptuous master bedroom, facing north with views of Tribeca Park, has 4 windows allowing lots of sun to enter as well of lots of sky to be seen. Currently configured as a one bedroom with one bath (originally the men's room of the cheese warehouse) with home office, this home houses an expansive living/dining room with 3 west-facing original windows, and a wonderful open kitchen with 2 south-facing windows. There are endless possibilities to mark this with your own footprint, including the potential to create a three bedroom, two bath, with an open living and dining area and a spectacular chef's kitchen. Or you could just enjoy the charm of an original Tribeca loft with a few updates, keeping the authenticity intact for that rare original loft style. The apartment has a washer dryer, & there is the possibility of installing a split system central air conditioner, as the electrical service has recently been upgraded to 3-phase 200 amp service.

The building has a visiting super. The residence's exposed pipes mark the authenticity of this era. The building is investing in upgrades, including current plans to install a video intercom/entry system to the front door. Truly an important feature is that each unit has basement storage which is locked with air conditioning and humidity control. The storage space is 6'x11' x 10'h = 660 cu ft and the open storage shelving allowing for approximately 90 additional cu ft. There is also roof space which may be used by residents in the warmer months. All covered by the low maintenance of $1,650 per month, which includes heat, hot water, & electrical service. Internet service is provided through a dedicated high-speed server that the building maintains, at no additional cost to the shareholder.

Location is on Tribeca Park, with the A/C/E trains, & the 1/2/3 trains only one block away. The N/R trains are 3 blocks away.
