52 Rivington St. 2

Residence 2 at 193 Eldridge Street is an authentic floor-through corner loft in an amazing Lower East Side location. Offering two bedrooms and one-and-a-half bathrooms, this home features an array of coveted original details including nearly 10’ ceilings with rough hewn wood beams, exposed brick walls and fourteen windows with dual Southern and Eastern exposures. Extremely low monthlies make this a rare offering in the current downtown condo market.

An enormous 17’ by 30’ open concept great room occupies the southern wing of the home and is graced in a lovely tranquil light through three southern-facing and five eastern-facing windows. The kitchen was recently updated and now features custom cabinetry, high-end appliances by Fisher & Paykel and Bosch and generous counter space for casual dining and open entertaining.

Well-appointed, the entry hallway is defined by ample custom storage and leads to two generously proportioned, eastern-facing bedrooms. The sleek, renovated bathroom features heated floors, Toto fixtures and a rain shower tub. The second bathroom is similarly finished and is home to a washer/dryer hook-up.

Originally constructed in 1900, 193 Eldridge Street is rich in historical detail; formerly known as “Studio We,” it was a renowned community studio space and venue at the height of New York’s loft jazz movement in the 1960’s and 70’s. Today, it is a boutique five-unit walk-up condominium, discreetly positioned near the heart of the Lower East Side and moments from SoHo and the Bowery. It is minutes from Whole Foods, the new Essex Market and multiple subway lines.
