no verbal overkill

Looks as though Richard Orenstein at Halstead commits no BrokerSpeak Crime in labeling his new Manhattan loft listing at 100 Greene St 2d fl as "uber chic". This is one seriously dressed (though "mint & minimalist") loft.

glass bedroom walls!

Though it has some layout limitations, the 14 ft ceilings and nearly floor-to-ceiling windows and the use of glass walls in the two bedrooms dramatically open up the space. (My bedroom is never neat enough for a glass wall, but most folks are neater than I am.) That view and light through the bedroom glass walls are major components of the "absolute serenity" of the place. (Presumably, the glass walls [and curtains?] are as sound-resistant as a standard sheetrock wall.)

The layout is classic Long-and-Narrow, though at 23 feet wide, a bit wider than some. There are no side windows, but those front and back windows are awfully large - and the rear windows contribute light through those glass bedroom walls.

midnight milk is a short walk

The mezzanine office is an interesting visual element, with that lovely stair. Interesting result of the design choice was to have the kitchen adjoining the bedrooms, so there will be no place to escape the party. This is the second new loft listing today with at least one bedroom right off the kitchen (new at 241 W 36 St / $1,000/ft but…??) - a coincidence, I am sure.

They are asking $2.8mm (maintenance is $2,025/mo) for 1,800 sq ft "on SoHo's finest block". That is quite a premium to charge even for the neighborhood and renovation, but probably worth it to the right buyer (assuming the renovation is as nice and the light as plentiful as it looks).
