rare West Village loft newly offered at 24 Horatio
premium pricing, premiumlight
The3rd floor at 24 Horatio Street came to market overthe weekend. Asking $1.795mm (and $1,240/mo in maintenance) for”1,300 sq ft”, this is one for the folks who love light. It faceseast and north, with four east windows and six (wider?) windows tothe north. Ceilings are said to be 13 feet, so those are prettytall windows.
Thiscorner points at the small triangle formed by West 4thStreet, Horatio and 8th Avenue, then across8th Avenue to Jackson Park, so this should be “foreverlight”. (See Sunday’s NY TimesViews You Won’t Lose for a discussion of the mythicalForever View.) It should also provide nice views ofthe to-be-constructed Jackson Square condominium, with itsundulating wall of glass. The light and views are definitelypremium for any loft, let alone a West Village loft.
Theunit is a 1,300 sq ft Long-and-Narrow, but has the virtue of thosenorth windows along one long side. The plumbing is all along thelong south wall, resulting in an en suite master bedroom and anawkward en suite second bedroom (is that 8 x 11 ft?). No otherplumbing, so guests will be traipsing through that secondbedroom.
how big is 1,300 sq ft?
Presumably, Corcoran lists this space as 1,300 sqft (for a full-floor loft) because that is what the Offering Plansays. The city shows this building as 22 x 74 feet, so that is asaccurate a measurement as you are likely to see.
how little is a littleupdating?
Whenthey tell you that “a little updating” will make this lofteven more outstanding, and then only give you interior photos, onewonders about where the updating is needed, and how littleis “little”.
First showings at the Open HouseSunday Sept 9 from 1:30 – 3:30
