1 BR, 1 bathroom, loft
sold $785,000
Imagine a private roof deck almost half the size of your duplex. Then add a view of the tip of Manhattan and the Brooklyn waterfront. These are two of the features of a 1,000-square-foot gem tucked away on Pearl Street in the breezy South Street Seaport area around Peck Slip. On the third floor of a one-time 19th-century book bindery, the hardwood floor spills across the loft and the ceilings run from nine and a half feet to 11. It also has a working, wood-burning fireplace and a private deck of 440 square feet with views of the Brooklyn and Verrazano bridges, among other eye candy. The loft was picked up by a local model, who looked at more than 75 other places in Manhattan while trying to move from her Financial District rental. The lofts sunshine and the less-than-$1-million price were among the clinchers for her. One of my requirements, she said, was I wanted a lot of personal open space.
Ask price was $775,000 and the selling price was $785,000.
