You cannot find this aesthetic anymore in major cities of the world. Bohemian, arty, late 19th & early 20th century Belle Epoque and just a museum of delights with antique mirrors, cabinets, furnishings, textiles, lamps and objects. Today most apartments/houses/hotel rooms have succumbed to either mid-century modern or the dullest and blandest of greys and beiges. Few lofts like this exist anymore. Here you are entering a film or stage set and make up your own fantasies. The kitchen and bathrooms are amply supplied. The beds are comfortable. The apartment is perfectly located for those who want to explore the liveliest parts of Manhattan now, post-Covid lockdown, the East Village and downtown. We discovered an extraordinary Lebanese restaurant just a block away. Cafes, restaurants, groceries, pharmacy all close by. Subways and bus arteries almost at your door step here take you everywhere you want to go in the city. It's just a few blocks from the magnificent Tompkins Square Park and its abundant gardens. The building has history and legacy, too, to fuel your imagination.
