Located on Lafayette Street between Prince and Spring Streets, this one bedroom plus home office/guest room is truly one of a kind. The oversized living and dining room boasts ebony hardwood floors, high ceilings, and huge 7x7-foot windows that allow spectacular natural light to fill the loft. The Valcucine kitchen features a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Viking range, a Thermador dishwasher, and a breakfast bar. The primary bedroom also offers hardwood floors, along with a large walk-in closet featuring a corrugated glass wall, and three tall windows adorned with historic exterior steel shutters. The bathroom is sleek and stylish, offering a custom curved-glass shower, a beautiful poured terrazzo floor, and smart wifi washer and dryer.
