Standing on an always-evolving stretch of Soho, this 4,177-square-foot loft at 158 Mercer Street, in what’s known as the New Museum Building (the New Museum of Contemporary Art was at this address before moving to the Bowery), is townhouse-sized, asking a museum-level $10 million. Framed by the loft bones of the 1897 building, the three-bedroom condominium is wrapped in 21st-century luxe.
Past a private elevator landing, a 52-foot great room is anchored by a massive fireplace, bookended by equally outsized columns beneath ceilings nearly 12 feet high. Walls painted in muted tones and polished dark amber wood flooring convey the quiet elegance of a country estate.
An open kitchen is a nod to loft style, though the similarity stops there. Bespoke millwork, fancy finishes, a massive marble-topped island and seamlessly integrated high-end appliances suggest entertaining on a grand scale.
A cozy, intimate library with built-in shelving offers a counterpoint to the vast living and dining space. Steel factory doors conceal a chic office space.
Occupying an entire wing on one side of the home is a suitably grand primary bedroom. An equally spacious en-suite bath joins two large dressing rooms and a laundry room.
On the other side of the home is a second complete bedroom suite. There is also a third bedroom with a full bath. The home has two separate entrances for added privacy and convenience.
The 19-unit full-service cast iron building was converted to condominium lofts in 1996. Amenities include a laundry room and private storage, and all lofts offer ducted HVAC systems.
