This compact West Village co-op in the Halloran, a converted loft building at 9 Barrow Street, might be quite a find for someone seeking a downtown hideaway. Asking $585,000, the renovated studio has maintained its elegant pre-war charm in the form of wood beams and barrel-vaulted brick ceilings; a modern renovation has conferred efficiency in the form of a Murphy bed and a compact, capable kitchen.
A long foyer is lined with closets to keep luggage and clutter behind closed doors. An updated tiled bath is tucked in here as well.
The main space is anchored by a hefty wooden beam above a 19th-century column that also acts to divide the living and sleeping spaces. Exposed brick provides contrast to the dark wood flooring. A sleek stainless steel kitchen contains everything required for prep and entertaining.
A built-in Murphy bed offers the option of more space. Throughout, a ducted heating and cooling system makes modern comfort a constant.
The pet-friendly classic loft building offers a part-time doorman, a live-in superintendent, laundry on every floor, two elevators, storage, and bike storage. Pieds-à-terre are allowed, of course, and sublets are permitted after two years.
