Potter Building at 145 Nassau St. #11E

Here is your chance to call this sprawling loft in one of Downtown’s most iconic apartment buildings your next home. The open floorplan of this penthouse apartment is currently configured as a 2 bedroom with 2 en suite bathrooms, with a large kitchen area. When you enter the generous foyer, you immediately get embraced by the architecturally designed interior layout, with different layers that define the dining area, the raised living room and the office den along the row of windows. The bedrooms are on different sides of the apartment, ensuring maximum privacy. The high ceilings with hi-hat lighting fixtures through the whole loft combined with the original columns give testimony to the building’s long history as one of downtown’s first iron-framed office buildings before it was converted to apartments in 1981. The city landmarked The Potter Building in 1996. When the building was erected in 1882, it employed the most advanced fireproofing methods then available, including the use of rolled iron beams, cast-iron columns, brick exterior walls – the building’s walls are 40 inches (100 cm) thick at ground level – tile arches and terra-cotta. The building originally housed the editorial office of the New York Observer, and was part of New York’s famous Newspaper Row. The large amount of built-in closets is very generous even for an apartment this size, and the top floor ensures a quiet ambiance. The natural wood used for the built-ins and doors combined with the honey-colored hardwood floors add a wonderful warmth to the living space. In addition to the laundry room on the second floor, the apartment has its own washer and dryer. There is also storage available for an additional fee. The residents often come together on the landscaped rooftop, which is available for owners and their guests, and enjoy the beautiful gardens and open views of City Hall Park. Pets are welcomed. The location right across the street from City Hall on the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge ensures easy access to all major subways converging in the Financial District, which now boasts some of Downtown’s best restaurants and lounges.
