Open House review

 
loft open houses Sunday, July 8 from $1.3mm to $1.8mm
(remember to check listing Sunday to make sure it is still on)
 
$1.3mm
“1,700 sq ft” “renovated” “International Design”; on the market almost a year (2 different firms)
12:30 – 1:30
 

[later edition: I had this one as “3R” in my original post today [oops] this one was featured on March 13 new at 241 W 36 St / $1,000/ft but…?? and in open house reviews on March 13 and on May 18; either he’s gotta sell it or I have to stop talking about it…]
 
$1.75mm
“1,800 sq ft” that has been “smartly renovated” (note spread from #6R; query difference in size); on market since June 9 (Peter Browne will run upstairs from #6R at 1:30)
1:30 – 3
 
$1.789mm
“1,245 sq ft” with “new chef’s kitchen”; ”nothing run of the mill about this residence, which must be seen to be appreciated” (as must the agent prose); on the market since June 5; sold last August for $1.225mm but I did not see a recent building permit, but perhaps the renovation was since August
11:30 – 1:30
 
$1.395mm
“classic Tribeca floor-thru” on since May 9 ($1.495mm); Long-and-Narrow with 3 front windows + 3 back windows (back windows all have plumbing – 2 baths and kitchen); best guess from floor plan = under 1,500 sq ft
12:30 – 1:30
 
$1.575mm
“1,500 sq ft” in old firehouse, with elevator promised for next year’ on market since March ($1.635mm)
11:30 – 1
 

[later edition: this one was featured at the old price back in a March 23 open house review, where my comment was:
 
Fourth floor walk-up in former firehouse (again, not of the traditional loft-from-industrial-use provenance). This looks like very cool space, rewarding the walk up. (And an elevator is coming.)
 
They’re not saying, but looks to be about 1,300 sq ft of the Long-and-Narrow variety. Though they are saying it could “easily” become a 2 bedroom, it looks like a classic One Bed Wonder to me (what is a One Bed Wonder?), especially with just the one bathroom. (Need some fancy drafting for 2 real bedrooms.) Don’t know why they are saying “centrally Located” in “lower Tribeca” (central to the edge?), but it is a convenient location for transportation of all kinds, for sure, for sure. The block is undergoing … change. Massive change. Good news (long term), for sure, for sure, especially after that elevator comes in.
 
New to market this week.
 
$1.62mm
“1,800 sq ft” of “unique interior duplex” “and enormous potential”; on market since June 25
12:30 – 2
  

[later edition: this one was featured in last week’s bring architect +/or vision to open houses Sunday July 1 with the comment:
 
New to market this week
Interesting play of space vs. dollars here, with what looks like two 900 sq ft boxes on top of each other, with the lower level having some additional up-ing and down-ing (check the floor plan or – better yet – visit the space); some ceilings as high as 18 ft; needs updating (other than kitchen) ]
$1.59mm
“1,853 sq ft” with “opportunity to create 2 bedrooms, 2 baths”; 13 ft vaulted ceilings and pre-war details; 45 feet of windows on only one wall; on market one year ($2.195mm); N.B. Tribeca Trib article about Fulton Street being closed from Church to Gold St for 2 years for subway station work
12 – 2
 
$1.79mm
“1,700 sq ft” in one of the oldest Financial District coop loft conversions (1979), a “massive true loft with impressive architectural views”; not quite Long-and-Narrow, with 5 east windows, 2 to west; on market since March ($1.895mm, to $1.75mm, to $1.65mm to $1.79mm)
12 – 2
