15 Mercer Street #2 Manhattan, NY 10013

Located in the heart of Soho, this spectacular turn-key home offers the best of loft living. A perfect marriage of Soho's late 19th century industrial aesthetic with modern luxuries and finishes, this fully-renovated, full-floor loft is in pristine condition. It features soaring 14-feet high ceilings, enormous custom-made double-hung thermal windows, Marmorino plaster walls, central A/C, and spectacular floors - antique 18th century gray and white Andalusian marble in the entertaining areas, and reclaimed 18th century wood planks in the bedrooms. The loft offers 2 bedrooms and 2 baths over approximately 2,944 square feet, and could easily be reconfigured to accommodate a third bedroom (see alternate floor plan). The flawless Haynes-Roberts renovation and interior design reflects a graciously chic, old world sensibility executed with a modernist's eye.

The key-locked elevator opens into the expansive entry hall, where the dramatic scale and beauty of the loft immediately impresses, with views to the living room and down the main axis of the home. The grand living space has a wall of four oversized windows overlooking Mercer Street and providing beautiful natural light all day. The 14-foot high ceilings are paneled with rough sawn, whitewashed wood. Partial walls separate the living room and entry hall from each other, and from the open kitchen and dining room (or den), while still providing an open sensibility, all achieving a perfect flow for entertaining on a grand or intimate scale.

The streamlined kitchen by St. Charles features burnished stainless-steel cabinets, Glassos Nano White counters, reclaimed icebox nickel hardware and steel doors, as well as top-of-the-line appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, 48' Wolf range, Miele dishwasher, and True wine refrigerator. An adjacent pantry with a large sink doubles as a spacious laundry room.

Steel and glass casement doors lead to the bedroom/study wing, a true oasis of calm and quiet. An enormous primary suite consists of a large bedchamber with 2 huge windows, a glamorous dressing room, and a stunning 4-fixture master bath with a large walk-in shower and double vanity, all clad in slabs of Carrara marble and outfitted with Barber Wilsons fixtures. The enormous library/bedroom features built-in bookshelves, 3 enormous windows, and can easily be divided into 2 additional bedrooms or a bedroom and a study. The adjacent Carrara marble bath is also outfitted with Barber Wilsons fixtures. A private storage unit conveys with the apartment.

Built in 1886 by Samuel A. Warner, 15 Mercer Street has a beautiful 19th century cast-iron facade typical of the best architecture of SoHo's Cast-Iron Historic District. This intimate condominium comprises just five units. Located between Howard and Grand Streets, it is surrounded by world-class luxury boutiques, excellent restaurants, easy transportation access, and the best amenities that downtown has to offer.
