Upon entry to the apartment via key-locked elevator, the living room is immediately welcoming, with exposed brick walls, 11’ barrel-vaulted ceilings, wood floors and four large south-facing windows that fill the loft with light. The two seating areas include a more formal living space and a den/media area with a built-in entertainment unit, featuring a beautiful Japanese acoustical tiled-wall, which increases sound quality while reducing noise. The 54.5-foot long living/dining room offers unlimited possibilities for entertaining and multiple seating areas.
The open chef's kitchen features poured concrete countertops, a Viking refrigerator, a 6 burner BlueStar range, Viking wine refrigerator, two dishwashers, and an appliance garage. The kitchen island has extensive prep space, an oversized sink with high-end hardware, and storage. An additional prep sink and a breakfast area with built-in banquette completes the kitchen.
The loft's master bedroom suite offers an en-suite bath with heated floors, a double vanity, and a walk-in shower. Thoughtfully designed built-ins include two large wardrobe closets, three built-in dressers, and a window seat. The bed-wall features the same acoustical tile as the living room which reduces noise to ensure that the master bed-chamber is a quiet oasis. An additional bedroom offers a built-in bench, built-in desk, and built-in bookcase. Completing the home are a second full bathroom, a partially enclosed home office, central A/C and a washer and dryer.

Quick Profile
Birthplace of beatniks, Greenwich Village has always been a neighborhood bursting with creativity, home to artists, poets, musicians and writers. There is a lot of foot traffic in the neighborhood, as it gives convenient access to many other neighborhoods. There are a lot of popular eateries on MacDougal Street and bars on Bleecker Street. The neighborhood has a bit of a college-town feel, due to the presence of NYU. There aren’t large chain stores here, so it isn’t really a mecca for shopaholics, but you can find interesting vintage stores and specialty boutiques.
Available housing is centered on pre-war walk-ups. You can find good deals on the quieter, tree-lined side streets, as opposed to the bustling avenues. There are pockets of brownstones and townhouses, some dating back to the early 19th century, throughout the neighborhood, as well. You will find more luxurious housing in the newer high-rise buildings on Park and Fifth Avenues.
Washington Square Park is the heart of the neighborhood. If you sit near the Arch and close your eyes, you might catch an echo of the music and social history of the Park, floating through the air. Greats like Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and Paul Simon started their storied careers right here in Greenwich Village. Today, the Village is a celebration of diversity, where everyone is welcome.
