BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED DOWNTOWN LOFT / ORIGINAL ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES. This open airy corner home is located in the historic Morse Building, featuring a great layout and flow with original architectural details.

Enter the foyer and gallery, which unfolds into the expansive (29' X 22'9") living and dining areas, open kitchen with mobile prep island, and built-in dining banquette with a clever under bench storage system; perfect for entertaining and nesting. The main bedroom (16' X 8'10") has two windows, a dressing area, and an expansive walk-in closet (9' X8'). The 2nd sleep area is up the floating stairs and overlooks the living space. There are two spa-like bathrooms; the main spacious windowed bathroom has a double vanity with under counter storage, large walk-in shower, and a laundry closet with the apartment's own washer and dryer. The second full size bathroom has a deep soaking bathtub and marble flooring. The apartment has dramatic 14'4" barrel vaulted, arched brick doorways, and exposed brick walls, hardwood floors, intricate moldings, casement interior windows (and bedroom door). Nine arched windows allow for southern and western light, and street views to the Beekman Hotel, and the Woolworth Building. There is overhead ceiling fans and lighting, floor-to-ceiling book shelves, a coat closet, and an overhead storage compartment (7'2' X 7') accessible by a ladder. The low monthly maintenance includes a full-time superintendent, gas, water, and radiator heat. There are window air conditioners, and common area laundry facilities on the 2nd floor of the building. This landmark cooperative building is pet friendly, and has a newly restored old world mosaic tiled lobby, a state-of-the-art video intercom system, and an expansive nicely landscaped common roof deck with panoramic city views. The apartment is 1,560 gross square feet, including the home office and storage compartment. The base floor area of the apartment is 1,465 SF.

Once the tallest building in New York City, the Morse Building built in 1880 has just 39 units, 3 apartments per floor, and is located in the vibrant Financial District, adjacent to City Hall Park and Tribeca. The American Vitagraph Company was among the early tenants of the building, where in 1898 the creation of one of the first motion pictures took place on the roof.

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.
