This full-service building offers a 24-hour doorman, a stunning lobby, and a lovely roof deck. Locates at 14 East 4th Street, it is conveniently located near New York University, The New School, and the 4/5/6 and N/R trains.

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "handsome" Italian-Renaissance building offers "generous" loft-style apartments in "prime" Noho. The "full-service" amenity package includes "attentive" concierge, roof deck and basement storage, while the "strategic" location provides "seamless" access to six subway lines. Set in a "rapidly evolving" neighborhood bridging Soho and the East Village, residents enjoy "easy access" to downtown's shopping and dining scene. A "sophisticated" choice for those seeking "architectural character" with modern conveniences.
