Welcome to Apartment 5EW at 652 Hudson Street, the rarest of rare - a 3 bedroom coop loft in The West Village's desirable Meatpacking District that easily converts to a 4 or 5 bedroom! Wrapping the premiere Northwest corner of this circa 1900 converted rocket parts factory, this voluminous apartment features 12 warehouse-scaled tilt-and-turn double-paned windows and an enormous open-plan expanse of sunlit living space. Effectively integrated original features such as soaring 10-foot ceilings, antique brick walls, massive exposed heavy timber beams, cast iron remnants, and turn-of-the 19th Century wide board floors meld with custom lighting, joinery, fine contemporary finishes and modern creature comforts.
The 32 x 21 foot Great Room is a comfortable entertainment space with multiple seating areas and room for a big dining table, easily sitting 10 or more. There are open, bright Northwestern views of The Meatpacking District's historic buildings and cobble stone streets, and a distant view of The Hudson River and its tree-lined esplanade. Two adjacent home office and library spaces are cleverly separated from the Great Room by half walls, letting light in while creating distinct spaces. The library is an easy conversion to provide a 4th bedroom with a full marble bathroom with shower.
The renovated eat-in kitchen is flooded with natural Western light through two enormous windows and is open to the living and dining areas. The chef-approved workspace in Farrow and Ball beige and creamy tones includes deeply veined marble counters, backsplash and kitchen island with breakfast bar seating and a banquette ready niche. The kitchen cabinets are reclaimed enamel steel fitted with textured/colored glass insets. Other features include dark cork flooring, antique industrial pendant lighting, and a workable run of kitchen counter for the serious cook or serious home body. Appliances include a 36" Subzero Refrigerator with double freezer drawers, Wolf Industrial 6 burner gas stove (venting out), Bosch dishwasher and an oversized radial corner stainless steel sink. A pantry space with china cabinet and open shelving is a coffee bar with butler's sink and an additional under counter Subzero refrigerator. The island offers storage and an additional set of Subzero double refrigerator drawers. Adjacent to the kitchen is the double-sized hall closet and a built-in desk. A mudroom and utility hallway has ample closet storage and a full-sized Whirlpool stacking washer/dryer which vents out.
The bedroom wing is a creative reimagining of factory loft space with two spacious secondary bedrooms sharing a central work/media/play space with built-in desk. Double exposure plate glass windows are a feature in the Southeastern secondary bedroom with open views towards the heart of The West Village over a neighborhood playground and across a leafy landscape toward townhouses. Another secondary bedroom enjoys its own dressing room/home office with Northeastern views and light. The secondary bedrooms share a full-sized bathroom with oversized shower.
Building approvals are in place to annex the original adjacent freight elevator, adding another roughly 10x10 square foot bonus space to the footprint of the apartment. The additional space allows for the creation of a sizable 5th bedroom, artist's studio or home theater room to the plan and an additional large-scale North-facing window wall. The primary suite with a separate entry into the public living quarters, offers an enormous walk-in closet and marble bathroom with double sinks, marble shower and separate soaking bathtub.
Modern whole-home systems include a Crestron Entertainment System, a two-zone central air cooling system and a home alarm system. Somfy Smart Home Solution controls electronic window coverings throughout the home. A storage unit is included in the sale of this apartment.
