55 PRINCE Street #5R

Upon entering this rarely available classic Soho loft, you will be touched by its rich artisanal roots. Located in the historic Prince Street Works, and later, Tiffany Foundry building (circa 1861), this graceful and sprawling space is set back from the meandering cityscape below. Lined with windows offering dual exposures, there are quintessential downtown architectural views to the east and glowing light throughout the loft. With an easy flowing open floor plan, this rustic home features original wooden beams, exposed brick, tin ceilings, oak flooring, and salvaged, distressed-finish pine paneling from the original 1860s factory in the living and master bedrooms. The space is untouched and adaptable to meet a variety of layout needs. Currently configured with open concept kitchen, living, and dining areas, plus en-suite bath and spacious laundry and storage room, this one-of-a-kind home has central air conditioning, terrific closet space and additional building storage. There are roof rights that come along with this unit (directly above the apartment) awaiting a landscape designer?s vision to create a world-class private outdoor space. This five-story boutique coop has an updated elevator, mechanicals, and basement. The building is beautifully detailed with limestone keystones and segmentally arched windows, and is perfectly situated on Prince and Lafayette Streets. Pets are allowed on approval and showings are by appointment.
