Description

Beautiful light illuminates this spacious corner loft through 10 oversized East and South facing windows. At approximately 1,300 square feet with 10.7" ceilings and solid oak flooring throughout, the space is currently configured as an open plan with a sleeping loft, but can be converted to either a 1 or 2 bedroom. The cook's kitchen features custom cherry cabinetry, granite countertops and backsplash, a SubZero refrigerator, Garland stove, Bosch dishwasher and 2 sinks!

The super convenient FiDi location is just 3 blocks from Fulton Center with 12 interconnecting subway lines, and around the corner from the Spruce Street School. Head West through City Hall Park to Tribeca, North up Broadway to Soho, East along Beekman Street to the Seaport, and South along Nassau Street towards the heart of the Financial District. Enjoy world class shopping at the nearby Oculus at Westfield World Trade Center Mall and great neighborhood restaurants such as Augustine, Temple Court and Da Claudio.

The historic Morse Building was once the tallest building in New York. Built in 1879 by two nephews of Samuel F. B. Morse, inventor of the telegraph, the striking facade features Romanesque style arches with contrasting red and black brick above the windows. An early tenant, the American Vitagraph Company, created a motion picture studio on the roof!

Converted to a cooperative in 1980, 140 Nassau was designated a New York City Landmark in 2006. The lobby walls maintain their intricate mosaic murals, there are only 3 lofts per floor, and there's a lushly planted common roof deck with panoramic downtown views. The building has video intercom, is wired for FIOS and pets are welcome.

Move in as is, or reimagine the space to reflect your own personal vision.

The Financial District occupies the southern tip of Manhattan, where landmark office towers have been converted into spacious residential lofts alongside new luxury high-rise condominiums with river and harbor views. The Oculus and Fulton Center transit hubs connect over a dozen subway lines, including the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, J, and Z trains, making it one of the best-connected neighborhoods in the city. Battery Park, Bowling Green, and the 9/11 Memorial provide open green space and waterfront access at the foot of the skyline.
