Property Description for 140 Nassau Street, 12-C
This expansive loft in the historic Morse Building is waiting to welcome you home.
At almost 2,000 square feet, with 11' ceilings, exposed brick, solid hardwood floors throughout, and an abundance of storage space, it is currently configured as a 1 bedroom, 2 bathroom residence with a spacious home office/guest room complete with a Murphy bed. A wall of oversized windows facing west offers views of the architecturally ornate neighboring facades, as well as a striking direct view of the iconic Woolworth Building.
The kitchen features custom pearwood cabinetry, sleek black granite countertops and backsplash, a suite of complementary black GE Profile appliances, and a full size Eurocave wine fridge. Luxuriate in the master bath's huge steam shower outfitted with dual showerheads plus a center rain shower, and lined with soothing sea green glass tiles. There is a double sink vanity, and a Toto toilet. The 2nd bath features a deep soaking tub, a custom sink basin, and is clad in white tumbled marble.
The convenient FiDi location is just south of City Hall Park, close to all major train lines at Fulton Center, nearby great neighborhood restaurants, and close to the Oculus, Brookfield Place and Westfield World Trade Center. For more shopping, dining and entertainment, head west into Tribeca, north into Soho, east towards the Seaport and south towards the heart of the Financial District.
The Morse Building was once the tallest building in New York. Built in 1879 by two nephews of Samuel F. B. Morse, inventor of the telegraph, the facade features Romanesque style arches with contrasting red and black brick above the windows. An early tenant was the American Vitagraph Company, who created a motion picture studio on the roof. Converted to a cooperative in 1980, it was designated a New York City Landmark in 2006. The lobby maintains its beautiful mosaic wall murals, there are only 3 lofts per floor, and there's a lushly planted common roof deck with panoramic downtown views.
Move in as is, or bring your architect and create the loft of your dreams!

Seaport District | Manhattan
Quick Profile
The Seaport District sits between the Financial District to the south and the Brooklyn Bridge to the north. The original Seaport designation was limited to the streets east of Water Street from Fletcher Street to Dover Street and incorporated the actual Seaport and the piers. But no more. Today, the neighborhood boundaries have expanded westward toward Park Row and include a surge of new developments in the area around Pace University and City Hall Park.
This is not your father’s Seaport. It is no longer a commercial hub and the seafood industry, which operated out of the port for nearly two hundred years, has been displaced. The older low-rise buildings that line these cobblestoned streets have been repositioned, the SouthBridge towers complex to the east of Water Street has gone free market, multiple commercial buildings have been converted to residential usage and new gleaming residential towers are rising on the site of the iconic J&R Music World which once lined the east side of Park Row.
Still, the Seaport is a small neighborhood, particularly quaint just north of Beekman Street. The streets are dominated by century-old warehouses and maritime buildings which gives the neighborhood its overt character. The Brooklyn Bridge, on its northern edge, looms in the backdrop.
