This three-bedroom, three-bathroom SoHo loft, about 3,900 square feet, was gut renovated into a textured space that resembles a ship’s cabin. The main room has original wood beams and columns, exposed brick, walnut floors, and a wood-burning fireplace. Its “zones” include the living area, elevated sunroom, study (with sliding glass doors and built-in red elm shelving), media room, and dining area. The open kitchen has a burled walnut breakfast bar, soapstone countertops, red elm cabinetry with walnut inserts, polished limestone floors (such as the foyer), and top-of-the-line appliances. The master suite contains a walk-in dressing area made of red elm and a slab Carrera marble and wood bath, both separated from the bedroom by sliding doors. The master bath also features a double vanity, deep soaking tub, and nickel and white porcelain Waterworks fixtures. This home has modern touches such as central air-conditioning, and double-insulated, custom windows.

Situated in the emerging artist district straddling Clinton Hill and Bedford-Stuyvesant, this live/ work loft, about 2,500 square feet, was designed to be movable, with its countertops and bookshelves (doubling as room separators) propped on casters. The front of the loft contains the bedroom and living area and the back includes a work studio (or second bedroom) and alcove. In between is the kitchen and dining area, which features polished concrete countertops, burl wood cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances, and the two baths, which are finished in polished concrete and stainless steel (the master bath has a claw-foot tub). Located in an 1899 building that once was a horse-drawn carriage business, this space also features oak floors, exposed brick, the original freight elevator, and a steel door that once opened into the next building. There is a woodshop, laundry, and storage in the basement and a finished roof deck above.

Janice Chang/Prudential Douglas Elliman

This two-bedroom, two-bathroom SoHo loft, about 2,550 square feet, was designed to be hinge-, seam-, and step-free. Its “great room,” consisting of the living room, dining room, and kitchen, has 10 windows with city views facing north and south. The open kitchen and dining area contains a built-in onyx table with stainless steel legs, Indian-imported granite countertops (including one large island and breakfast bar), custom Italian cabinetry, and high-end appliances. The master suite has floor-to-ceiling closets, a working fireplace, and a bath that contains an oval travertine marble tub, French limestone floors, and a glass-enclosed shower with a floating bench. The second bath, tiled in Bisazza mosaics, is open — no walls, just a drain for the shower. Other details include original wrought iron columns, Ming Dynasty-era doors, Brazilian wide plank floors, and a second working fireplace. It also has eight-zone central air conditioning, automated shades, and double-glazed windows, among other electronic features.
