This would be a SoHo loft, but it is on the wrong side of Houston St for that. (I would call it the West Village [west of Broadway, above Houston], but Halstead thinks NoHo has more cachet.) This is an odd block, though, with the NYU gym across the street and the Angelika on the corner – heavily trafficked, but very different from the traffic of SoHo.

Good news: This is a classic loft – long + narrow (24 x 100?) set up as a one bedroom with 2 baths, with windows on the narrow ends, 13 foot ceilings, brick wall, high end granite kitchen and limestone baths, even a fireplace. Claimed to be 2400 sq ft, with maintenance of $1,875/mo.

Other news: the 13 foot ceilings include a mezzanine loft area over half the unit (kitchen, baths, and den) and it looks as though the living room fronts on Broadway (second floor); no doorman. A similarly-sized unit on the second floor was on the market for a year, through August 2005, not selling at $1.85m.
