Loft #5E is an enormous, open space full floor-through on a high floor with extraordinary light and privacy. It has been occupied with TLC by only two artistic residents in more than 50 years. The pristine 'white box' has been lovingly restored. The keyed elevator opens into the loft with soaring 12-foot+ ceilings anchored by five majestic, silvered cast iron Corinthian columns. Step inside this grand open space with original light maple wood floors and walls of windows anchored both north and south. The space is reminiscent of an 'art gallery' and at the same time warm and inviting, dripping in old & new New York history. The pristine loft had been originally re-created from a high-end haberdashery manufacturing space in the early 1900s into two+ large bedrooms and two bathrooms, an open kitchen with an island counter, washer & dryer laundry area, a windowed home office/exercise or 3rd bedroom alcove, lots of hidden storage, and a grand open living room and dining. The well-over 50-year ago, the converted Primary Bedroom with a large Bathroom suite had been elevated on a 4-foot raised platform. It was removed for the current owner's intended new renovations. The removed platform is now conveniently on one level. Such bathroom plumbing is up-to-code and ready for the new owner's advantage to enhance and design. A central Air Conditioning system may be installed. Here is an opportunity to truly create your own legacy. Bring your imagination along with your favorite Architect, Contractor, and/or Designer.
