344 Bowery, 2-FLR

This quintessential floor-through loft sits at the intersection of three of Manhattan’s most dynamic neighborhoods: NoHo, East Village, and SoHo. Having taken inspiration from New York’s garage-rock scene, Interior designer Francisca Trujillo cocoons you in glamour and drama by painting the loft almost entirely in black and hiring street artists to "vandalize" the elevator door and cover the bedroom foyer with floor to ceiling graffiti installation. The words “chic” and “cool” should pull up pictures of this apartment.

Upon entering the home via a key-locked elevator, you are immediately impressed by the dimensions of the space, a sun-filled open-plan living/dining room boasting nearly 35 feet in length and 22 feet in width with oversized windows framing a view of The Bowery.  Solid Brazilian Walnut floors, a massive bay window, exposed brick, and high ceilings add to the perfect mix of this stylish room. The well-appointed chef's kitchen is outfitted to the highest standards, including Sub Zero, Viking, and Bosch appliances.

Both bedrooms are quite spacious and offer the utmost in privacy with motorized shutters blocking out the hustle & bustle of New York City. The primary bedroom has been outfitted with a custom 8'-10" walk-in closet which leads to the spa-inspired bathroom. Fixtures include a Kohler Tea-for-Two soaking tub, a separate shower, and double vanity. A large utility closet with side by side washer/dryer, a wine cooler, garbage disposal, security system, and central heat and air round out the picture. This is truly a rare offering in the downtown loft market.

Notable about the building, it was originally erected as a metal factory in the late 1800s. Rumor has it, the building was later used by Andy Warhol as a warehouse for his artwork. In 2007 it was painstakingly renovated and converted to 5 condominiums. This beautiful loft is just moments from all the charms of downtown Manhattan that deliver on every level with the best selection of culinary and cultural delights and close proximity to the 6/B/D/F/M/R/W trains. With just 5 residences, this boutique condo provides great personal privacy. The building features a part-time super and private storage is included. Sorry - pets over 50 lbs are not permitted. A capital Contribution of four months of the unit's common charges, payable by the purchaser.
