The Loft:

Unit 248 at Arris Lofts is a stunning example of the quintessential New York City Loft. This superbly designed condominium was transformed by famed Architect Costas Kondylis and consists of 1,387 square feet of living space. A beautifully lit entry foyer opens to the 60-foot-long loft. The unit boasts 15-foot-high ceilings, a true great room that is 20 feet wide by 24 feet deep and several architecturally unique columns.

There is a continuous wall of insulated, sound reduction, airport quality windows that are 16 feet wide and 10 feet tall, inviting an abundance of natural light and fresh air into this amazing space.

The central hall leading to the great room is more than 40 feet long and over 8 feet wide. It is the perfect place for a large dining area. The expansive, unobstructed walls provide a dramatic back drop for a large art collection and large-scale furniture.

The unit has 3 private spaces:

The first is the main sleeping area, which easily accommodates a king size bed with nightstands, dressers, and other furniture, still leaving plenty of circulation space. Two frosted sliding glass door panels open and close easily to create a totally private, quiet luxe oasis.

The second, tucked away near the entrance to this home, is perfect for meditation, reading or just an inviting guest space. Newly installed wall to wall Berber carpeting adds to the peaceful environment.

The third is adjacent to the main sleeping area and is suitable for use as a home office, a nursery, or retrofit for an additional large walk-in closet/dressing room. Several unit owners at Arris Lofts have taken advantage of the 15-foot ceiling height by increasing the floor area of their unit with the easy addition of a mezzanine level. Please contact us for more information on the mezzanine option.

This unit has been impeccably maintained and upgraded with custom recessed, track and spot lighting. The wide plank hardwood flooring has been refinished and the entire unit was recently professionally painted with Benjamin Moore Aura finish paint at a cost of nearly $10,000. There are two HVAC systems that are Google Nest Thermostat adaptable and make for an extremely efficient climate-controlled environment.

There is a large walk-in closet that is outfitted with California Closets and an additional oversized, double hung, extra deep closet at the entryway.

All interior doors are 8 foot tall, 4 hinge and solid wood core for sound control. There is a washer dryer hookup in the unit and an additional laundry facility in the building.

Your meticulously maintained kitchen consists of white lacquer upper and lower cabinets with custom under cabinet lighting, a Liebherr refrigerator and freezer with ice maker. An Electrolux 4-burner gas cooktop, a built-in convection oven and microwave and an Electrolux "silent wash" dishwasher all in stainless steel, complete the appliance package. A full height white lacquer back splash complements the super durable stainless-steel countertop.

The Jack and Jill style 4-piece bath features two separate sinks with great storage and an extra-large walk-in shower with a full height European glass enclosure and mosaic feature wall. A new "rain shower" faucet head with a handheld attachment makes for a sumptuous bathing experience. Dornbracht fixtures, stone clad walls, and porcelain flooring complete this spa like Zen environment.
