719 Greenwich Street, #1S

PRICE IMPROVEMENT for a live/work opportunity. Its location, two blocks from the Hudson River Park, and its phenomenal size, make this West Village loft an opportunity NOT to miss! Enter through a private gate on Greenwich Street.

The ceilings soar to nearly 13 feet. The first floor of this former book depository, built in 1909, has been artfully personalized by it¿s current owner. No street noises interfere with its playful ambiance. A fire pole, swimming pool lights, carousel horse, French weather-vane, beams salvaged from old sailing ships, and a collection of doors gathered from around the world (including beveled glass hotel doors from Fleury, France) hint at only a few of this apartment¿s whimsical features. A combined living room,open plan chef¿s kitchen and spacious dining area invite entertaining.

The high end appliances in the kitchen include double Viking ovens, a Five Star range, and a Subzero refrigerator. The EXPANSIVE living space has Central Air throughout. The master bedroom has a generous walk-in closet and an en-suite bath.

A second bath, including a laundry area, is accessible from both the main hallway and the den/guest room. It includes many specially designed surrealist touches. In addition to the den/guest room, with its own lofted sleeping area accessed by a ladder arranged to be raised and lowered by weights and counterweights, there are several other flexible sleeping areas- one currently configured as a large office area with curved walls and storage and bookcases galore.

A third sleeping area, a jewel of a lofted room for adventurous souls ages 6-92, is accessed via a ladder made from ingeniously re-purposed iron work. This apartment has abundant STORAGE in many forms ¿closets, cupboards, shelves and lofts. In addition, a small private garden is a delightful bonus.

This property has afforded the current owner the architectural framework to fulfill her vision and dreams. We invite you to bring yours.
