28 Greene Street #5W

This loft is in SoHo's premier rental only building, an incredibly well restored 1872 Second Empire, cast-iron pinnacle of architectural royalty known as "The Queen of Greene." Besides having a most distinctive facade (this building graces the cover of the best book on cast-iron architecture), it was meticulously restored to the point of real cast-iron replacement acanthus leaves. No fiberglass replacements here! This is truly one of the most handsome loft buildings in the best recognized and most desired neighborhood in the world, SoHo.

A colonnade of stripped wood columns and center beam are your anchors in history. Fantastic western light and classic Greene Street cast-iron views through new massive 5ft x 9ft double hung, mahogany framed, thermo-paned windows spanning the broad 30ft width of the space. Dramatic 11ft high ceiling. Museum grade maple floors with 15 inches of sound insulation between floors and quadruple sheetrock with wool bats between the rooms. High-end kitchen appliances include a Liebherr refrigerator, Wolf gas range top and electric oven (positive pressure ventilation keeps cooking aromas exhausted to the roof), Bosch dishwasher and Miele washer and dryer. Other finishes include Cardoso limestone countertops, custom maple cabinetry, Kohl fixtures and Dorn Bracht fittings.

There are two full bathrooms, including a guest bathroom with a shower and Miele washer and dryer and a large en-suite master bathroom with deep soaking tub and separate glass-walled shower. The loft is outfitted with a central AC system, top-of-the-line Runtal heating system and video security. Dedicated, on-site management and a full time super keep this building performing reliably and securely. Perfect move-in condition. Management office offers the added convenience of receiving packages and deliveries for tenants.

Due to the resourceful management of this building, qualified foreign individuals who may not have conventional credit/income/asset documentation can make their case. Swiss ownership seeks individuals who understand and measure up to this very high bar. If they qualify, they receive the security, comfort and service of being in a building where people have their privacy while they respect that of their neighbors. Long term occupancy is sought from those people who appreciate this level of service and stability, who know architectural excellence when they see it.
