145 NASSAU Street #9D

This is the real thing - a loft lover's loft in the historic Potter Building. 3 exposures with 13 windows facing South, East and West offer brilliant light all day. Open space and 12.5 foot ceilings offer a wonderful, expansive feeling throughout. Original columns and cast iron radiators offer authenticity. Currently configured as a 2 bedroom/1 bath, this wonderful space is easily convertible to a 3 bedroom/2 bath home. Move-in as is, or renovate to your specific taste and personal vision. Either way, you'll have a clean palette to work with. The Southern exposure looks onto the magnificent facade of 5 Beekman Street, currently being converted into a world class luxury hotel and residence, scheduled for completion in 2015. The primary bedroom frames a composite view of City Hall Park, Trinity Church, The Woolworth Building, the Calatrava World Trade Center Transportation Hub under construction and the spire atop One World Trade Center. Prominently located just south of City Hall Park in the Fulton-Nassau Historic District and built in 1886, The Potter Building's elaborate red brick and terra cotta facade is a fusion of Queen Anne, neo-Grec, Renaissance Revival and Colonial Revival motifs. At 11 stories high, it is one of New York's most significant surviving tall office buildings of the period prior to the development of the skyscraper. It stands as a testament to the most advanced fireproofing methods then available. The building was once part of New York's celebrated Newspaper Row and housed the editorial office of the New York Observer. It was designated a New York City Landmark in 1996. The convenient location puts you around the corner from the Spruce Street School and just 3 blocks from Fulton Center, the new transit hub providing service to all major subway lines scheduled to open this summer. Head West through City Hall Park, just across Broadway and you're in Tribeca. Head North up Broadway and you're in Soho. Head East along Beekman Street and you're at the Seaport. And travel South along Nassau Street toward Federal Hall, the New York Stock Exchange and the heart of the Financial District. The building's lobby was tastefully renovated in 2010 and new elevators were installed in 2012. There is a beautifully planted roof deck to enjoy and pets are welcome. A true authentic loft not to be missed!
