Mar. 21, 2007 - new “loft” is not a loft – just a big 1 BR at Stewart House
when is a “loft” not a loft?
When a one bedroom apartment with an open floor plan, big windows and high ceilings is in an apartment building (indeed, in a classic white brick 1960s former rental) it is not a loft. No matter how big the windows or how high the ceilings, or how open the floor plan. (For what makes a loft a loft, see the Tao of Lofts – essential features.)
So, sorry but #1D at 70 E 10 St is just not a loft – it may be “loft-like” but it is not a loft. It is new this week, and billed by Norman Horowitz at Halstead as a “loft”, but it is just a very large (1,100 sq ft) one bedroom apartment with what might be a nice price for the space (but still a one bedroom) of $929k (maintenance ‘only’ $823/mo).
Loft lovers need not apply.
