Bachelor/ettes with a taste for a certain kind of downtown Manhattan living will be lining up for this classic loft co-op at 515 Broadway (also known as 84 Mercer Street): $8,000,000 snags a 6,100-square-foot party-ready spot in the heart of Soho, complete with Corinthian columns and soaring ceilings, a ballroom-sized living room, a music studio, home gym and billiards room, a burled walnut wet bar and a giant walk-in dressing room for your sneaker collection.
Classic loft finishes like dramatic double-height windows and built-in shelving can be found throughout the loft’s entertaining, living, and dining spaces, three bedrooms, and three full baths.
The fun begins with a semi-private windowed elevator landing, which opens into the loft’s vast living room. A recent renovation spared no expense; pre-war loft proportions benefit from up-to-the-minute finishes and features, from walnut floors to Corinthian columns, custom lighting, and bespoke storage.
A sleek, Euro-chic kitchen welcomes the flamboyant master chef with striking zebra wood cabinetry, an integrated pantry, an oversized stainless sink, and a mosaic tile backsplash. Appliances include a vented Miele range and double wall ovens, a Miele dishwasher, and a Liebherr side-by-side fridge and freezer.
Through a sliding door panel is a suitably dramatic library. Floor-to-ceiling custom shelves await the rare book collection or literary legacy.
The loft’s primary suite is bathed in southern sunlight. Adjacent to this tranquil chamber is a diva-ready dressing room with boutique-like spaces for clothes and accessories, plus an integrated dressing table.
The primary bath is wrapped in Thassos marble, and anchored by a two-person bathtub. There’s also a separate dual shower, and a side-by-side vanity.
Overlooking a pretty courtyard is the loft’s second bedroom with its own ensuite bath. A third bedroom is tucked upstairs on the mezzanine level.
The fun is only beginning: Also on this level are music and media rooms and a gym. There’s plenty of flexibility in the rambling space to utilize its many rooms as you see fit or create an even bigger open dancefloor.
Upstairs, the mezzanine is divided into more intimate spaces: A wet bar is finished in burled walnut and teak, and a separate billiards room overlooks the living room below. There’s also a third bedroom with an ensuite bath, a powder room, and plenty of space for storage.
