challenging 474 Greenwich Street loft proves a challenging sale, not quite $2 million off
location, decor, layout … let me count the Tribeca loft challenges (and price!) I won’t say I was proud of it, but my first reaction on seeing the “2,300 sq ft” Manhattan loft #4S at 474 Greenwich Street being offered…
