Description

The history of NYC could not be told without including the artist lofts of Soho. The same can also be said for important downtown architecture. Create your own New York story in this spectacular & authentic Fluxhouse live/work loft that has been recently updated and renovated. The impressive, open space combines scale with a sense of warm intimacy that is becoming ever more rare to find. Classic loft details like brick walls, industrial windows and well loved wooden floors join with an impeccable Japanese design sensibility to powerful effect, creating a space respectful of the past yet ready for the future. The soundproofed, restored tin ceilings, that go up to 13'5" ft are further enhanced by the four large Chochin lights that illuminate as well as inspire. A new kitchen, created using vintage fixtures and appliances, including an O'Keefe & Merritt stove and General Electric refrigerator sits next to a true show stopping architectural detail, the elevated bathhouse. This beautiful structure, created using reclaimed wood and stained glass is divided into a bathing room with vintage soaking tub and shower, heated floors, and a separate water closet. While you can use the spaces of the loft in a multitude of ways, the eastern side could be a perfect place to live, sleep or dream. An impressive, sculptural cast iron staircase takes you to a mezzanine where East beautifully meets West. Reclaimed Midwestern pine was sent to Japan where it was turned into a parquet floor that is as wonderful underfoot as it is to look at. Newly installed systems, including central air, allow you to enjoy the best of the old world, and the pleasures of the new.

16 Greene Street, one of the first Fluxhouse A.I.R. artists live/work buildings created by artist George Maciunas, has a deep and rich history that remains palpable and vibrant. In 2025 the prime location it enjoys also means that you are in the center of one of the most dynamic neighborhoods in the world. The cobblestone street leads to some of the best cafes and bistros, shopping and experiences that the city has to offer, including iconic establishments like Raoul's and Omen, which have now been joined by Manuela and The Corner Store, as well as Happier Grocery, which indeed is a happy place.

True style and superb craftsmanship have been united with balance and harmony in this special opportunity that is not to be missed. Please note that this apartment is found up one flight of stairs while the elevator is upgraded.
