Description



CREATE A MASTERPIECE WITH YOUR DESIGN IDEAS - Enter the foyer, which unfolds into the expansive (17'' X 35') living and dining areas. At approximately 1,460 sf, this convertible 2-bedroom home is comprised of 100% usable space and a flexible layout with hardwood floors throughout. The highly desirable "A" line can be configured to a 2-bathroom unit, as many other shareholders have done. Situated higher up in the building, this ninth floor home gets excellent southern and western light through its 13 oversized windows that display the sky as well as impressive architectural views of the Financial District, including the Beekman Hotel turrets. The ceilings measure up to 11'4" high and have integrated lighting. This historic landmark cooperative building has a beautifully landscaped rooftop with panoramic downtown views and an old world mosaic tiled lobby. The very low monthly maintenance is approximately 72% tax deductible and includes an attending superintendent, gas, water, and heat. There is a monthly assessment of $302.09.



Once the tallest building in New York City, the Morse Building circa 1879 is located in the reemerging vibrant Financial District, adjacent to City Hall Park and TriBeCa. The American Vitagraph Company was among the early tenants of the building, where in 1898 the creation of one of the first motion pictures took place on the roof.

The Financial District occupies the southern tip of Manhattan, where landmark office towers have been converted into spacious residential lofts alongside new luxury high-rise condominiums with river and harbor views. The Oculus and Fulton Center transit hubs connect over a dozen subway lines, including the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, J, and Z trains, making it one of the best-connected neighborhoods in the city. Battery Park, Bowling Green, and the 9/11 Memorial provide open green space and waterfront access at the foot of the skyline.
