481 Washington Street #6-S

Come home to splendorous sunsets and unobstructed Hudson River views! This exceptional loft offers the ultimate in privacy and almost 3,000 square feet of expansive living space. The key-locked elevator opens directly into the massive 38' x 33' living room with custom arched windows framing the dramatic water view, the space punctuated with a massive timber ceiling beam and timber columns, with the original 1895 iron brace-work intact. Watch the ships sail by from the center island of the open chef's kitchen crafted of white Shaker cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops and an impressive cast-iron farmhouse sink. The appliances include a Wolf six-burner gas range and hood, Liebherr refrigerator, Liebherr wine-fridge, Bosch dishwasher and Bosch microwave. The spacious master retreat incorporates a dressing area with two walk-in closets, and a five-piece-bathroom with a deep pedestal soaking tub and radiant heated flooring. Two more bedrooms are both generously proportioned, the largest with an en-suite bath. French doors open into the home office where a frosted glass transom provides natural light. The home includes four-inch-wide Appalachian white-oak flooring, central heat and air-conditioning, a side-by-side washer and dryer, and a Bose home sound system wired throughout. With its 25-inch-thick, Beaux Arts facade, the structure originally functioned as a spice warehouse and converted into The Spice Warehouse Condominium in 2013. Comprised of just fifteen units, only two units per floor, a North and a South. Each side has its own elevator and entrance lobby. The residences share a full-time resident manager/superintendent, a service on each floor, a storage room, a bike room, two secured package rooms, and a gym. The loft is uniquely positioned overlooking Canal Park and the Hudson river in a quiet corner of burgeoning Hudson Square, formerly the Printing District, currently the West side's fastest growing residential neighborhood. Hudson Square is also the city's newest creative and technology hub. Google is constructing a 1.7 million square foot waterfront campus one block North on Washington Street, and The Walt Disney Company is constructing their new 19-story headquarters just around the corner on Spring Street. Enjoy sublime, waterfront living here at the crossroads of SoHo, TriBeCa and the West Village, close to the best restaurants, shops, galleries and entertainment venues each of these neighborhoods has to offer! A "Virtual 360 Property Tour" is available.
