1 BOND Street #2A

Offered for the first time in 23 years, this expansive NoHo studio loft features beautifully restored original details, soaring high ceilings and low monthlies. Located on prime Bond Street overlooking the cobble stone streets below, 1 Bond Street is an exclusive and iconic cast-iron pre-war condo, a rare find. Freedom of movement abounds the ~1,250 square feet with refinished original knotted pine hardwood flooring throughout. Juxtaposed in a contemporary medium gray, strikingly ornamental restored tin ceilings adorned with cornices and accentuated by Corinthian columns soar over twelve and a half feet tall, highlighting the palatial proportions of this former factory floor. An enormously scaled living and dining room showcase the home's potential for hosting at more than eighteen by twenty-four feet. Anchored by a large industrial warehouse pendant, as a nod to the space's ancestry, the open plan kitchen is oriented to maximize storage space featuring warm textural granite countertops, Viking range, Subzero refrigerator, and custom mahogany cabinets with glass panel fronts and handmade custom metal drawer pulls. The king-sized sleeping area provides an intimate separation and affords an abundance of storage nestled amongst custom fabricated wood and iron built-ins that wrap the southern walls. The home office is inspiring with a reading nook aside the 10' casement windows, perched above the tree-lined street below, exhibiting a one-of-a-kind reclaimed wooden wall commissioned by contemporary artist, Michelle Peterson-Albansoz. At the rear of the home is an enormous bathroom where an original claw foot soaking tub stands prominently atop gray, blue, and green mosaic Ann Sacks tiles. Adjacent to the bathroom is a full-sized laundry and generously proportioned dressing room at over eight feet deep. A large storage unit also transfers with the sale. The landmarked Robbins & Appleton building retains its brick and cast-iron façade analogous of The NoHo Historic District's rich commercial history as New York City's major retail center from the early 1850's to the 1920's. Initially constructed from 1879-1880 as the headquarters to American Waltham Watch Company (founded by Daniel F. Appleton & Henry A. Robbins) it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, and converted to condominiums in 1987. The building's ornate Second Empire design style echoes through history and is capped with a Palladian dormer containing a clock. The storefront is now home to Blick Art Materials and the former factory floors are now 19 discreet and biometrically secure luxury condominiums.
