34 E 30 finally in contract, as in Best & Finally


I hit 34 East 30 Street #PH-9 when it was fresh a month ago in an open house review, then in more extended fashion in a compare-and-contrast review along with a similarly priced (but very different) TriBeCa loft on October 22 (
the Tribeca premium, anticipated / a tale of 2 lofts; I just noticed that I owe Tribeca Resident a response to her/his comment there .. coming soon TR).

I did not get into an extended description of this one, but noted that it:


is done (and done beautifully), with so much light there is a window in the dressing room, a very large kitchen with top appliances and features, and 1,000 sq ft of private roof deck. There are several sliding doors of clouded glass doors. This is a classic loft, dressed tastefully for the party.

In fact, it is really beautiful (as I discovered when I saw it), but it comes up in our data base yesterday as In Contract – finally. I say “finally” because it went to a Best & Final bid at the end of that week, on October 26.

Best & Final is a wonderful thing
Susan Greene of BHS reported they had “a lot” of offers, “some” above ask, before going Best & Final. I imagine they accepted an offer by Monday, October 29 and I have had my eye out for the contract being signed there. Perhaps there was an extended negotiation; perhaps they went to an alternative bidder. Almost certainly it went for a nice premium over the asking price.

Meanwhile, the compare-and-contrast partner at 39 Worth Street #3E is still on the market.
