274 Water Street   Unit 1R

Enjoy the beauty, serenity and flexible layout of this quintessential loft, located in the residential northern end of the South Street Seaport Historic District. The landmarked loft building, dating to 1867, simply exudes charm with its 150-year old exposed original post and beam structure, high ceilings and exposed original brick. Within this richly historic structure, modern upgrades include new 6" wide white oak floors that have been hand laid, an open kitchen with Bosch and Liebherr stainless steel appliances and soap stone countertop, a spacious bathroom with polished cement floors, a washer and vented dryer and FIOS. Rear-facing with garden views and double exposures, this quiet home is private and gets wonderful light. In addition to the over 1,200 square feet of living space, this loft comes with, and is connected to, a basement-level room. Currently used as an artist's studio, this space is perfect for a workspace or it could be a fantastic storage space. Converted to a co-op in 2008. Located on the historic, cobblestone part of Water Street, you can enjoy a bit of the old world by visiting The Bridge Cafe (1794) or The Paris Tavern (1873), as well as the South Street Seaport and the East River Waterfront.
