SOHO

Two-bedroom, one-bath cooperative
Asking price: $1.375 million
Selling price: $1.375 million
Monthly cost: $288

THE OLD DAYS This approximately 1,500-square-foot co-op is open and bright, with two bedrooms on the mezzanine level, overlooking the living room. Pre-war details include oversized, sun-flooded windows, 14-foot ceilings, and hardwood floors. Ornate moldings frame the doorways. And, for added charm, or frustration, the building has a manual elevator, which serves the rear units. To make up for the olden-days feel, the building has been updated with central air conditioning. It also offers a private storage room.
Because there is no underlying mortgage on the building, the monthly charges are extremely low, Dorothy Zeidman of the Corcoran Group, who represented both the buyer and seller said. The sellers, a family with three children, are moving into a larger apartment in the building. The buyers, a couple, had been renting in the Village. They were attracted to the apartment by its location and because it was ready for move-in. This land marked building was built in 1871, and neighbors believe it may have been used as a textile warehouse and scrap-metal warehouse before its most recent reincarnation as a co-op.

YOUR OWN BALCONY A key lock elevator opens to this approximately 700-square-foot loft, which takes up half of a private floor in this modern looking building with staggered terraces.
The apartment features a modern kitchen and a marble bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub. There is a private balcony off the living room, which faces south and gets good light. All of the windows look over lush green gardens and trees.
The condo is one of only 24 units in the building, which is near the Hudson River Park and Meatpacking District shops and restaurants.
“It was a really cool condo,” the buyer’s broker, Wendy Jodel of Citi-Habitats, said.
Paula Manikowski of the Debra Kameros Company represented the seller.
