7 Sunday Open Houses at $2.9x

(remember to check the agent websites Sunday morning to see if open house is still on)

These lofts range from Tribeca to Flatiron in a very narrow price range, with sizes that vary from 1,800 sq ft to 3,100 sq ft, and conditions that range from new development to bring-your-architect.

225 Lafayette St #6D
$2.995mm and $3,383/mo (condo) for “2,040 sq ft” that has custom-this and custom-that throughout – very tastefully done if that is your taste; layout is Long-and-Narrow but not classically so because it is not a rectangle; lots of windows
on the market 2 weeks
Open House Sunday Nov 11 from noon to 2 PM

115 Mercer St #4S
$2.95mm and $3,495/mo (condo) for “1,982 sq ft” in a new “boutique doorman condominium”; our data base shows #3S has sold (asking price was $2.8mm) but I don’t see any deeds recorded in this building since the condo declaration was filed in June
on the market 10 months
Open House Sunday Nov 11 from 11:30 to 12:30 PM

60 West 15 Street 4^th floor
$2.995mm and $2,035mm for “3,100 sq ft” of “masterwork loft” with – from the Oct 20 open house review — (I can’t make this up, or figure it out) “great texture” that may need some work (“spend nothing and live the way things used to be, or put some money into it to create an incredible family compound“)
On the market 12 weeks
Open House Sunday Nov 11 from noon to 1:30 PM

181 Hudson Street #2EF
$2.95mm and $1,973/mo (condo) for “2,150 sq ft” of (say it along with them) “classic Tribeca corner loft”; tons of windows along one long (east) wall and one narrow (south) wall; concrete floors; layout is very efficient and the footprint is very flexible (plumbing all over the place), with a 3 bedroom + 3 bath set-up and a rather dramatic kitchen (that “partial park view”, btw, is the greenery surrounding the Holland Tunnel spillways just to the south and east of this loft that faces east and south; hence the mention of “insulated” windows)
new to market this week
Open House Sunday Nov 11 from 1:30 to 3 PM

152 Wooster St #2A
$2.925mm and $1,889/mo for “2,800 sq ft” of “true downtown loft” that does seem to have significant virtues (11 foot ceilings, cast-iron columns, huge arched windows), plus the opportunity (necessity!) to create your space, as this is a double punctuation “bring your architect!!” project; footprint is said to be 60 x 45 feet with windows only on one long wall (west) and plumbing risers all over the place
on the market two weeks, but this is the first open house
Open House Sunday Nov 11 from 11 to 1 PM

260 Park Avenue South #3D
$2.9mm and $2,916/mo (condo) for “over 1,800 sq ft of contiguous pure luxury” (gulp); for the new construction / full service buyer (2006 conversion); ironically enough, this line’s layout is virtually a classic Long-and-Narrow, with windows only on the narrow ends, 2 bedrooms in the back; I’d have to get past the broker-babble (“the powder room located perfectly off of the foyer is sure to impress”), but he won’t be living there with you, and you’d get 14 foot ceilings
on the market 10 weeks
Open House Sunday Nov 11 from 2 to 4 PM

24 East 20 Street #4
$2.895mm and $1,150/mo maintenance for “2,500 sq ft” of classic open loft with custom kitchen, set up as 3 bedroom + 2 baths; a classic Long-and-Narrow layout with no side windows and all the plumbing squeezed into one rear corner, roughly 36 x 72 ft; featured in open house reviews Sept 16 and — when it was a Corcoran listing at “20 E 20 St” — Aug 17 and April 25 (real 2,500 sq ft at 20 E 20)
Open House Sunday Nov 11 from 2 to 4 PM
