Two sets of French doors open onto a Juliet balcony, creating an airy flow between indoors and out. The gracious living and dining area is designed for entertaining on a grand scale, while original cast-iron columns, a gas fireplace, and solid wood floors anchor the loft with warmth and character.
The kitchen is both functional and generous in size, featuring floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and abundant storage. A conveniently located washer/dryer completes this efficient and perfectly integrated space.

Upstairs, the expansive primary suite spans the entire mezzanine level. This serene sanctuary easily accommodates a seating area or home office and boasts a custom-fitted walk-in closet large enough to satisfy even the most extensive wardrobes. The luxurious en-suite bath is finished in elegant marble and includes a double vanity, deep soaking tub, and separate rain shower.
Additional highlights of this quintessential downtown loft include custom built-ins, recessed lighting, through-the-wall AC, and the character-rich detailing that defines classic Chelsea loft living.
