Description

The exceptional 2 bed and 2.5 bath prewar duplex loft apartment at 170 John Street is a rare find. Completely remodeled with triple mint finishes, this sprawling 2,000 square foot loft condominium is right in the heart of the historic South Street Seaport. The Seaport neighborhood is currently one of the Citys hottest areas with Pier 17 opening next summer which will be home to restaurants by Jean Georges and the Momofuku Group and include a rooftop terrace that will host concerts and events. The loft is spacious and offers plenty of natural light and water views. The main floor living area includes oversized windows, high ceilings and a fireplace which creates an ideal environment for relaxing and entertaining. The well-equipped open chefs kitchen is designed to be part of the living space. When entertaining, the chef of the house is part of the party in this beautifully laid out open space. The generously sized great room is an extremely versatile space offering the opportunity for the new home owner to redesign the space to include an office, or third bedroom, or exercise space. There is also a convenient half bath and full-size laundry room tucked behind the staircase. The second floor includes two large bedrooms, both with en-suite baths and walk-in closets. Between the two bedrooms is a an office or sitting room for the two bedrooms. A private storage room (larger than some NYC bedrooms) located next to the apartment entrance provides an added bonus when it comes to storage.Built in the mid-1800's, 170 John Street is truly a City treasure. This boutique landmark building with just 14 apartments is conveniently located near subways, buses, the PATH and downtown ferries. The South Street Seaport neighborhood is in close proximity to FIDI and Battery Park City neighborhoods that have seen significant growth over the last decade. The apartment at 170 John Street also enjoys close proximity to schools, parks, retail, and restaurants while enjoying a very low traffic zone for vehicles.

Battery Park, Bowling Green, and the 9/11 Memorial provide open green space and waterfront access at the foot of the skyline.
