Exquisite Duplex Loft with 13' ceilings in the heart of Greenwich Village featuring Two Bedrooms / Two baths + Flex Space
With a rare and authentic combination of pre-war details and modern finishes, this home exudes the casually cool persona of a classic downtown loft conversion with all the high end comforts of a contemporary luxury home. Residence A104 at 303 Mercer Street features ceilings over 13' feet high and a magnificent cast iron structural column which showcases the property's pre-conversion history as the S, H and P Skirt Binding Company.
Entering the upper floor of the home, you will be impressed with the size of the living room and dining area offering generous space to host and entertain numerous guests with ease. The apartment's oversized 11-foot-tall east-facing CitiQuiet windows create a calm, peaceful oasis and are fitted with custom roller shades. Decorative raised wainscotting and eight-inch baseboards frame the gorgeous original oak floors and exquisite crown moulding is found throughout the main level. The living area features a built-in surround sound system and ample space for guests in the home theater area.
The open chef's kitchen boasts high-end stainless steel appliances, including a 5-burner Bertazzoni Master Series gas stove, full sized Blomberg refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and a breakfast bar with ample storage and counter space. Additionally the kitchen is fitted with Caesarstone countertops, tiled backsplash, granite stone floor tiles and contemporary cabinets. The newly renovated full bathroom on this floor features a glass-encased rain shower, timeless tiling and a modern vanity.
A full-size staircase leads to the lower level, where you'll find a large, bright and versatile foyer. Currently configured as a play and study area, it could easily be set up as a home office, media room or other flex space and features a private second entrance to the apartment. Under the stairs there is an abundance of storage large enough for multiple bicycles with room to spare.
This level of the home has the same beautiful oak floors as above. The King-size master bedroom contains two separate custom-built walk-in closets as well as an additional closet, while the second bedroom is also quite spacious and offers its own custom walk-in closet.
The large, renovated master bathroom boasts a custom marble deep soaking tub with Grohe showerhead and dual vanities outfitted with Hansgrohe sinks and two entrances through pocket doors.
Auto-lighting double doors open onto a dedicated laundry closet with custom shelving and full-size, stacking Miele smart washer and dryer set.
Throughout the apartment, carefully chosen lighting from venerable designers like Louis Poulsen and Herman Miller compliment each living space. Abundant storage throughout this apartment includes a full-sized coat closet and separate utility closet in the apartment's entry in addition to the many other closets mentioned above.
303 Mercer Street is a pre-war full-service cooperative on a very quiet block accessible from both Mercer and Greene Streets. Three distinctive six-story loft buildings make up this coop with a communal garden at its center. Amenities in the pet-friendly building include bike storage, a 24-hour doorman and live-in superintendent and a tidy common laundry room with large capacity machines for your oversized items.
Centrally located in the heart of the Village, the neighborhood is brimming with restaurants, specialized retail, nightlife, and cultural destinations, making it a highly coveted area. The building is a short stroll from the newly opened Wegman's Grocery Store at Astor Place, Washington Square Park, and multiple movie theaters (IFC, Angelika).
The rest of NYC is at your doorstep with unbeatable access to transportation as the N/W/R, 6, and B/D/F/M trains are all steps away. This unique duplex offers tremendous value for the location and size and an attractive personality all its own.
