PRICE IMPROVEMENT. RARELY AVAILABLE SPACIOUS LIGHT-FILLED LOFT FOR SALE. 140 Nassau Street, Apt. 5A. Located in the famous Morse building built in 1880 by relatives of Samuel Morse. The loft is approximately 1,650 square feet with soaring 13-foot ceilings. Currently configured as a two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment with a sleeping loft, it can be configured any way you wish. Bring your architect and create the home of your dreams.

As you enter the main salon you are dazzled by soaring ceilings and tons of natural light from the wall of oversized windows. An original brick wall with an arch leads to the kitchen and sleeping loft. A flight of stairs leads to the nicely sized open loft bedroom. The main floor bedroom has two closets, one a walk-in closet. Original hardwood floors.

140 Nassau Street is a landmarked cooperative building. The building drips with architecture from the period, including the Romanesque style arches often compared to a sand castle. The building originally had only 8 stories; consequently, only the first eight floors can boast of having the original high ceilings and large windows. The lobby has been lovingly renovated with a state-of-the-art video intercom, keyed elevators, and beautiful mosaic murals. 140 Nassau has a full-time superintendent, laundry room, storage, and a stunningly landscaped roof deck with sensational views. Pied a terres allowed, pet friendly, washers and dryers permitted with Board approval, and subleasing permitted with Board approval.

There are so few of these magnificent Victorian buildings left, especially in the Financial District, that finding a loft of this size is a great opportunity. Definitely not a cookie-cutter apartment. All the new residential building in this area has created a new vital atmosphere but lofts like this are still hard to find.

Offered for sale by motivated seller at. Maintenance is $2,144.50 per month. 60% tax deductible. 75% financing allowed.
