Financial District Loft Rental Comes With Its Own 800-Square-Foot Patio
Located in the Financial District, just one block from the South Street Seaport, is this 1,800-square-foot pre-war duplex with a very cool private patio. The building at 324 Pearl Street was built in 1888 as a warehouse, so the apartment now boasts 14-foot ceilings, exposed brick and lots of open space. Even the patio has a lofty vibe, surrounded by greenery against more brick. Although this is a condo, you can now rent it for $6,495 a month.
The upper level of the duplex holds all the main living spaces: the open living room, dining area and kitchen. There is a lofted space above the kitchen that could be used as a sleeping area or storage space. Inside the kitchen you get marble counters and a wine refrigerator. There’s also a remote-controlled movie screen with a projector and surround sound on this floor–modern perks to a space dominated by exposed brick, a wood-burning fireplace and oversized factory windows.
The lower level holds the master bedroom and leads out to the private patio. Moveable steel and glass paneled doors create a lofty space when open, or increase the unit’s privacy when closed. And the original beamed ceilings reach a height of 10 feet.
While beamed ceilings also adorn the master bedroom, it has a much more modern look with all the glass paneling. The adjoining full bathroom has a waterfall shower and Jacuzzi tub.
Through another large sliding glass door is the spacious patio. The high, brick-lined walls mean this space feels especially private and cozy, like a world unto itself. As the listing points out, it’s nice for any season, in night or daytime. We’ve never seen an outdoor space look so wonderfully lofty!
