366 Broadway, 7-B

Start with a balanced, minimalist symmetry. Add your taste, your furniture, your art and achieve the essence of authentic Downtown loft living. Located at the corner of Franklin Street, in a handsome Beaux-Arts solid concrete and steel building, this pristine home with its clean lines, pleasing proportions and classic details offers a calm respite from a restless world.

This freshly painted space is beautifully complemented by milky whitewashed hardwood floors in the living area. A 26ft wide living/dining room has a 10.5ft high beamed ceiling with original crown and baseboard moldings, and open views through two sets of oversized (7ft high!) double-hung windows. Warming south sunlight in all rooms, the antidote to a grey winter. A true chef's open kitchen has an expanse of Caesarstone counter space, an abundance of custom cabinetry by Minzer & Co, and top of the line appliances by Viking, Sub-Zero and Miele. There's also a full height pantry and tons of cabinet storage space! Off the kitchen is a full-size laundry room with a Bosch washer and dryer, and a guest bathroom with a subway tiled glass shower.

Perfect split layout offers separation and privacy for the two generously sized bedrooms. The master bedroom features custom closets and a classically renovated en-suite bathroom with his-and-hers sinks, linen closet, Calacatta gold marble counter, marble floor tiles by Waterworks, and a Kohler deep soaking tub with Lefroy Brooks fixtures and tiles by Walker Zanger. The second bedroom can easily fit a king bed, and a third, interior room with School House Electric light fixtures functions beautifully as a home office or guest room. This home's efficient configuration allows for maximum usability with zero wasted space. Other features include central AC, radiator heat, Lutron lighting, and video intercom.

Constructed in 1909 and originally known as the Broadway Textile Building, this 12-story, 36-unit loft building was converted to co-operative ownership in 1978. In addition to a common roof deck, video intercom and full-time super, recent capital improvements have added new bike storage, storage units, package room, mail room and freshly renovated hallways. New elevator cabs and a restored Beaux-Arts marble lobby are almost finished! Can't beat having an expansive Gourmet Garage grocery store on the ground floor, providing long-term income for the Co-op! The Co-op is pet-friendly and allows subletting. 1.5% flip tax paid by seller.
