NEW TO MARKET- TRUE LOFT LISTING IN GREENWICH VILLAGE. This is a special home that has not been available for decades. An updated, 2 bedroom and at a price that can make the dream of living in a prime neighborhood downtown a reality. A true loft — 10-foot ceilings, exposed brick, a proper entry foyer, two generous bedrooms with double closets. One faces east into the morning light, the other west over the building's communal courtyard. The proportions are real, not manufactured. There is room here for books, for art, for a life that has accumulated things worth keeping. Now you can have a kitchen you want to cook in and host a dinner party or two. A Bertazzoni Heritage range in matte burgundy with six burners. Basaltina volcanic lava stone counters. Miele dishwasher. Integrated Liebherr refrigerator. Substantial prep space and open to the voluminous living space which is perfect for entertaining. The bathroom has been thoughtfully updated with a marble pedestal sink. Possibility w/board approval to add another and there is space for that potential upgrade. Both bedrooms have size but the main one facing east is quite impressive. And yes — there is a dry sauna in that bedroom that can be included in the purchase. Bonus: A washer/dryer can be installed with board approval!. The Building Originally served as the S, H and P Skirt Binding Company — a garment industry operation, which fits perfectly with the neighborhood's history as part of lower Manhattan's textile and light manufacturing corridor. The building's high ceilings and cast iron structural columns reflect its history as that factory, which later became the Snug Harbor home for retired sailor. Built circa 1910 and converted to cooperative ownership in 1979, Snug Harbor at 303 Mercer consists of three turn-of-the-century industrial buildings fashioned into 63 distinctive loft homes, with a lovely communal garden in the interior courtyard should you plan to exit the Greene Street side. Snug Harbor: A garment factory. A sailor's refuge. A pioneer loft cooperative. The provenance is genuine. Amenities include a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, bike storage, common laundry, and a pet-friendly policy. Pied-à-terres, co-purchasing, and guarantors are permitted with board approval.
