Arrive by private elevator directly into this open and bright full-floor loft. A wall of oversized windows, 10 tall, allows sunlight to stream through, illuminating the open living and dining areas. Freshly refinished birch floors and painted white brick walls compliment the natural wooden beamed ceilings, highlighting the historic nature of the building and the unique character of this old-school loft, so hard to find today. In the center of the space, the steel and glass kitchen overlooks the living room and large dining area. There are 2 full baths, one of which is en suite to the primary bedroom and features both a shower and tub. Both bedrooms are large enough for king beds plus furniture and feature the same oversized windows found in front. Central air-conditioning, washer/dryer hookup, video intercom, keyed-elevator entry, and basement storage all contribute to the conveniences of this rare and special home. 48 Canal Street is a pre-war, elevator condominium building with 7 stories -- just one apartment per floor. Located in downtown Manhattans Lower East Side/Two Bridges/Chinatown area, the neighborhood is packed with exciting restaurants, cafes, and fun shops like Coming Soon, Scarrs Pizza, Dimes, Ernestos, Clandestino, Cafe Grumpy and many more. Street dining is happening on the block, closed in the evenings for pedestrians, and there are many services right out the door. Within easy reach of the best of Chinatowns food offerings like Joes Shanghai, and the Lower East Sides art gallery, music, and nightlife scene, this small stretch of Canal, however, enjoys a quiet break from the traffic and noise. Nearby, youll find Seward Park and Library, LES Coleman Skatepark, Pier 35, Corlears Hook park and ferry terminal, the B/D trains at Grand Street, the F/J/M/Z at Delancey-Essex, while the F train to East Broadway is just a block away -- passing at least two coffeeshops along the way!
