A massive open floor plan provides a comfortable urban oasis + dedicated open office space with a conference table is on the North side. The main living room now features a baby grand piano adjacent to the south facing windows. *Note that while I am still relatively new to VRBO, I have many 5 star reviews on other booking platforms if you would like to see them, please reach out!) @ thevillageloftstudio

A Little History:
Originally built in 1876 as a canning factory, later it was used as a repair facility for firetrucks, and finally it became headquarters of the Gay and Lesbian Liberation Front. Home to celebrities and artists over the years including acclaimed Argentinian painter Juan Ronaldo who hosted parties for artists and poetry readings attended by Beat poets featuring readings from Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg in the 60s. The Loft’s roots are reflected in its grand 15’ wooden beam ceilings, hardwood floors, and exposed brick walls.
More About The Space:
The Loft’s interior is a combination of avant-garde early 70s architects and a modern renovation in 2017. The loft’s extraordinarily high wood beam ceilings lend grandeur to its principle layout—two enormous open spaces—one to the north against bustling W. 3rd st and one to the south against a silent alley way called Minetta Lane. A true artist loft-- the floor plan is divided to maximize large, open living space while also providing private bedrooms. Most of the apartment exists on the quiet south side which a features walk-in closet, two bathrooms, a fully loaded, open-design chef’s kitchen, library/reading nook, dining area, and a TV lounge. This area has a lofted bedroom with a queen bed, separate bedroom with a twin bed, and two interior bedrooms; 1 queen and 1 twin. The north side is a dedicated work space featuring several desks and a giant conference room table. The north side has a separate bedroom with a queen, and an additional private sleeping space in the office.
Additional beds/ sleeping surfaces include a daybed in the main living room as well as a queen sized sleeper sofa and the enormous red couch in the TV lounge. Additional beds can be made upon request in common areas depending on the size of the group. (We have two floor mattresses + 1 air mattress in storage.)
