This rare and utterly charming condominium loft is located on a quiet cobblestone block in the historic South Street Seaport and captures the true spirit and essence of Old New York! Tucked away behind a 19th-century facade, you'll find this classic loft offering 1,100 square feet of open living space with tasteful finishes and restored original details throughout. Enter to a dramatic Living/Dining room with 11' ceilings, exposed brick walls, original timber columns and open views of the Municipal Building from three enormous double glazed windows. A wall of floating bookshelves divides the space and leads to a separate sitting room and cozy sleeping area with access to a large fitted walk-in-closet.

The custom-designed chef's kitchen is open to the entertaining area and features deep countertops, abundant custom cabinetry and top-of-the-line appliances including dual under-the-counter SubZero refrigerators, a Miele dishwasher, professional Blue Star Range with hood and a 50-bottle temperature controlled wine fridge. The exquisite Carrara marble bathroom features imported Catchpole & Rye fixtures from England including a custom basin, lavatory and glass-enclosed rain shower with bespoke hand-held fittings. Additional amenities include central air-conditioning, a washer-dryer, period shutters with hand-forged hardware, a built in safe, and tasteful vintage lighting fixtures throughout.

Built in 1867 and converted to condominium in 1998, the boutique 10-unit building features an automatic elevator, virtual doorman, video intercom security system and private locked basement storage. And of course there's the location, surrounded by some of the most historically significant architecture in Lower Manhattan with great restaurants, cafes, shopping and all major subway lines right at your doorstep.
