67 E 11th St APT 619, Manhattan, NY 10003

Spacious, inviting loft studio in the storied Cast Iron Building. Most studios are rectangles with uninspiring kitchens and limited storage space. Not this one, which marries old-world charm -- from the width of the hall to the oak wood of the floors -- with a chic upgraded kitchen and bath, proper dining area, three deep closets, and a wide gallery and large living space, offering plenty of differentiated area to sleep and socialize (well out of sight of your refrigerator). The fully renovated kitchen and bath feature natural stone and white marble. High-end appliances complete the kitchen, with Grohe fixtures, a Bertazzoni gas range, and a KitchenAid convection microwave oven. Meals are delicious in your dining area, and the unit's south-facing exposure brings in daylong sunshine and a peak at the landmark spire of Grace Church from your reading chair. Built in 1868 in the heart of Greenwich Village, the stately Cast Iron Building is distinguished by its Corinthian columns and its deep sense of history. In 1973, it became the first factory in New York City to be converted for residential use. Today the building is amenity rich, with a landscaped roof deck, a full-time doorman and resident superintendent, common laundry, bike room, and private storage. Owners enjoy flexible and approachable policies. Subletting is allowed for up to seven years after one year's residence. Pets are allowed. Guarantors, co-purchasing and pied-a-terres are allowed on a case-by-case basis. 80% financing is permitted. Nestled on a quiet street between Union Square and Washington Square Park, just around the corner from the iconic Strand Bookstore and delicious dining on University Place, with Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, NY Sports Club, and Nordstrom Rack all five minutes away and a multitude of transportation options to make commuting anywhere a painless endeavor, the Cast Iron Building is perfectly placed to make the most of a vibrant downtown lifestyle -- and #619 is the ideal oasis to come back to at the end of the day.
