3 Sunday loft open houses $2.3 - $2.5 (each with history) : Manhattan Loft Guy

Manhattan Loft Guy

May. 4, 2007 - 3 Sunday loft open houses $2.3 - $2.5 (each with history)

11:30 - 1

$2.35mm and $1,536/mo

1,800 sq ft with a somewhat peculiar set up as 2 BR + library/den/media room; only 3 pix, with hints that this may need some “freshening up” (or more): an “alternate floor plan” is provided and the floors look a little weathered and there’s only those 3 pix; one challenge is that the space is nearly square, but has windows only on one side; on the market 4 weeks this time but there must be a story here: the owner bought this place only in January (paying $2.1mm), then Corcoran listed it for a day in March at $2.3mm

Ruggles House must be one of the very early loft coop conversions (1973).

12 – 2

32 Laight St #4

$2.3mm and $2,829/mo

2,454 sq ft full-floor new condo conversion just off the Holland Tunnel (south-facing windows are “sound attenuated, of course”); one of those nifty Virtual Doorman systems; no pix on the web, which makes me wonder how much of the “canvass” needs to be “transformed” (as in “This loft is a canvas waiting to be transformed into a residential work of art”)

Interesting that Brown Harris had this listing last June, starting at (drum roll, please) $3.25mm. They dropped it to $2.9mm in October, took it off the market at Christmas until Washington’s (actual) Birthday, when it dropped to $2.35mm. Owner took it off the market for two days and then switched to Halstead at the new price of $2.3mm on April 20. That is about as dramatic a price history as I have seen in a while!

2 – 4

104 Charlton #4E

$2.5mm and $1,879/mo

3 BR + office condo that is coy about its size (2,300 sq ft??), in the way west and north (desolate?) part of SoHo; building has low ceilings for a loft and this unit has only 9 windows in it Long-and-Narrow array (are those bars on the inside of the 4^th floor windows??); on the market a month

Prices in the “E” line have varied quite a bit. #6E traded at $2.495mm in September (said to have been a “stunning” renovation), while #3E traded at $1.662mm in August (and took almost a year to sell, having started at $2.4mm in September 2005)
