20 GREENE Street #2A

This 2,818SF CONDO loft is on the internationally-recognized and most intriguing of SoHo's fabled streets. Greene Street has the longest continuous stretch of landmarked cast iron buildings of anywhere in the world. If it's not cast iron, it's not SoHo.

This loft is all about the importance of scale and proportion, and pictures just cannot capture the impressiveness of this space; you feel it when you walk in. The soaring 13'10 high ceiling perfectly complements a generously squared living/dining area. Five 10' x 5' historic, double-hung windows span the 37' width of the building, framing Greene Street's classic cast-iron views and allowing for glorious afternoon light. A row of six Corinthian cast iron columns runs down the center of the loft with sensuously rich ash hardwood floor beneath. Typically, only public spaces can deliver this indefinable but aggrandizing feeling (ultimate example, think Grand Central Station). This loft epitomizes SoHo's legacy of profound and lasting architectural impact: great scale, ambitious spaces.

The two bedrooms are also grandly scaled: 22' x 16' and 18' x 16', both with en-suite bathrooms and walk-in closets. Expansive open kitchen complete with stainless steel GE Monogram appliances, 4-burner Viking stove with griddle and hood (vented to the outside), and a 25-bottle wine cooler. Other features include custom-built, solid Mexican red cedar doors, central AC & heat, laundry room with GE Profile W&D, a giant pantry/storage room, video intercom and keyed-elevator entry from the street level or lobby.

Built in 1880 and converted to condos in 2000, 20-26 Greene Street is a classic double-wide cast-iron building with 10 residential and 2 commercial units. The building is pet-friendly, has a part-time super, and its permanent certificate of occupancy.
