DRAMATIC CORNER MERCER STREET LOFT

This fabulous 1700 square foot loft in the heart of historic SoHo, at Grand and Mercer, offers all the quintessential elements of an artist loft in a unique historic building with a modern renovation. These "must have" items include an open studio floor plan, 12ft ceilings, classic fluted columns, a wood burning fireplace, brick walls and hardwood floors. It has nine, 8'x4' double paned windows. This 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit offers more than ample storage with ceiling to floor closets, as well as a 10'x15' storage room in the basement. Architect William Massey, head of Cranbrook School of Architecture (and featured in Dwell Magazine) designed the open chef's kitchen and spectacular bathrooms. The first, a dramatic black granite/white marble spa steam shower with alcove seating, features European rainhead and hand held shower fixtures, and an Ingo Maurer towel light. An opaque window to the living room provides a soft relaxing ambient light. The master bath, wrapped in Brazilian slate features a jacuzzi tub, rainhead shower and body sprays, a Vivendi cabinet and Spanish floating sink cabinet. The studio opens on a floor to ceiling, steel frame bookcase covered by three 11' mirrored panels, that glide on a ceiling track. This 1860's building with its 2' thick walls has recently been totally renovated including a new, large passenger elevator that opens on to an amazing common roof terrace with open city views. Individual central air condition units and a new hot water heating system-boiler, risers and radiators-were added as well as a building water filtration system; renovated lobbies, and hallways; building vaulting and facade repairs.
