High ceilings and low maintenance! An interior designer’s own dream residence, this custom 2,250 square foot, top floor landmark loft is located steps from West Broadway and the iconic Odeon. Built in 1870, the Italianate brick and cast iron facade was enhanced with numerous Neo-Greco elements by architect John J. O’Neill. The sun-flooded, full floor loft is offered in superb condition with central air conditioning and beautiful walnut floors in a herringbone pattern. The enfilade of airy, open spaces features ceilings rising to almost 12 feet, a large skylight, the historic building’s signature wood ceiling joists, and original brick walls. The expansive Dining Room and a bookshelf-lined Living Room open onto a large open plan Chef’s Kitchen. The gourmet Kitchen is anchored by a massive center island flanked by abundant custom cabinetry and includes a classic 6-burner AGA range, a Marvel refrigerator and freezer, a Miele dishwasher, and a Uline wine storage unit and flows seamlessly into the adjacent Breakfast Room. A sliding steel door serves as a distinctive focal point, reinforcing the building’s industrial past, while leading to a Second Bedroom with a walk-in closet, which backs up to a Powder Room, with the potential to be converted to a second full Bathroom. The sunny Primary Bedroom enjoys open sky outlooks over the southern city skyline and features excellent storage and a wall of French doors. The luxurious Primary Bathroom boasts a free-standing clawfoot bathtub, a separate shower, and a double sink finished in marble with elegant brass fittings. The large Laundry/Utility Closet provides excellent storage and a dedicated hot-water heater. Both the skylight and the oversized, double hung windows were newly installed in 2023. The airy and authentic ambiance of Apartment 5 at 70 Thomas Street provides a pristine backdrop for contemporary living in a historic home. 70 Thomas Street is an intimate 5-story, 4-family owner-managed cooperative with an ABA Technology LLC video security system. There is no elevator. Pets are permitted, as is financing of up to 75 percent of the purchase price. There is no underlying mortgage on the cooperative. Purchases by a trust entity are permitted.
