Co-op, 565 Broadway #8W, SoHo-TriBeCa-Civic Center-Little Italy - Real Estate New York

Description

Why is this Soho Loft a Unicorn? Because an 8th Floor Soho Loft towering over Prince Street, with Light, Sunsets, Skyline City views, and 41 Ft of Northern exposures is almost impossible to find! 8 West is an original Soho Artist's open loft and is all about the amazing light and views. It is currently configured as an open studio, but could be easily converted to a two Bedroom, 2-3 Bathroom residence. Skyline photos are the actual views from the Loft. Featuring new, oversized and double paned windows and 11' ceilings, plus two beautiful columns. Plumbing stacks are located on the East and West sides offering the ability to place a kitchen or bathroom in multiple locations. 565 Broadway (the Ball, Black & Co Building) Originally a five story Palladian Palazzo with an East Chester Marble and Cast Iron facade, 565 Broadway was designed in 1859 by architect John Kellum.

Famous, not only for its beautiful classical proportions and prominent tenant, the building was also the first absolutely fire-proof building in New York City. Listing courtesy of Compass ...
