Modern amenities meet rustic finishes in this beautiful SoHo loft home. This large one-bedroom, one-bathroom loft is set in a historic 1860 cast iron and limestone building with architectural details retained throughout. Enter the 1,200-square-foot space and find a spacious great room lined with floor-to-ceiling windows capturing glimpses of picturesque Mercer Street. Original wood beam ceilings and exposed brick walls recall the building's heritage, while hardwood floors run throughout the home. The ultra-modern, open kitchen places old and new side-by-side. Top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances are surrounded by custom oak cabinets and pearl white cultured stone counters creating an ideal space for cooking and entertaining. The generous master suite is placed at the opposite end of the home where it receives abundant sunshine from its own large window. Roomy walk in closets flank the entrance to a sleek white-on-white en suite bathroom with pedestal sink and frameless, glass-enclosed shower. A powder room and additional closets surround the foyer, adding a comfort and convenience rarely included in modern one bedrooms. 16 Mercer was once used as a soldiers' depot for Union troops returning from the Civil War. Today, it's been repurposed as an "artist's loft" space with premium finishes. Set in the heart of SoHo's Cast-Iron Historic District, this stretch of Mercer Street contains the largest concentration of early buildings in the District. This is iconic SoHo - paved with cobblestones, lined by cast-iron facades, and featuring eclectic boutiques, restaurants and cultural destinations at every turn. Transportation options sit right outside your door - including N/Q/R, J/Z, A/C/E, 1 and 6 trains- providing effortless access to the rest of the city.
