Stunning, authentic, recently renovated SoHo loft available for sublease. A keyed elevator opens into the windowed foyer of a grand, 2600-square-foot, full-floor loft, filled with character and natural light. The serene loft faces East, West, and North, with a wall of windows in the Great Room, allowing for sunlight to stream throughout the home, highlighting the warmth of exposed brick, original iron beams and columns, high ceilings, and pristine hardwood maple plank floors. A brand new chef’s kitchen features Zia cement tiles, a Viking stove, Bosch dishwasher, a Liebherr refrigerator, stainless steel counters and cabinets, wainscoting, a marble-topped island, and a new wood pantry. A spectacular dining area, windowed with electronic shades, is perfect for entertaining. The loft also has a windowed office alcove. A designated in-unit laundry and utility room keeps loft maintenance efficient and housekeeping hidden. A bedroom wing, separated from the rest of the loft by a hallway for optimum privacy, has two large, sunny bedrooms. The primary bedroom has a large closet, plenty of built-in storage, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom with a double sink, a deep spa tub, and a bidet. The second bedroom has a bright, double exposure and could be used as a guest room or a den. The second bathroom has a gorgeous claw foot tub with a shower. The loft has central air conditioning with Nest, a state-of-the-art water filtration system, and a new virtual doorman. The boutique building, built in 1891, houses only 5 full-floor lofts. This one-of-a-kind home is located on a quiet block, yet close to some of the city’s most elegant shops and world-class dining. Available for 12-24 months, with possible opportunity for renewal, mostly unfurnished (dining table must remain) at $25,000 per month. The loft may also be rented fully furnished. Credit check per applicant: $20. Non-refundable sublease application fee, payable to Merchants Properties: $500. Pets, case by case. Quick application and board approval process.
