Live/Work Loft in NYC

Why yes, yes I’d love to come live in this stunning TriBeCa loft. What? I have to WORK there as well? So be it.

In honor of my recent pro-renting rant, I thought I’d feature a rental for a change. No, it’s not exactly thrifty at $30,000/month, but hey, budgeting has to start somewhere.

Towering ceilings, a game room, wine storage, a library, a "fully staffed" building (whatever that means), it's got it all. I can barely stand to look at this place, it's so stunning.Here's where I'd cascade down the stairs each morning to report for my indentured servitude.

The full listing at Sotheby’s says this place is perfect for an art collector or someone who loves entertaining. Seems to be the right stereotype for this space.

You know how I love my mixed-use, multi-family properties, so while this place's price tag makes me nauseous, I have to give it credit for being so industrious. There's a separate entrance for the downstairs area so you really can have live/work separation. I appreciate that.

I also love that Sotheby’s lists for rent this little sidekick loft – also in TriBeCa, with a similar vibe, only much smaller. Sotheby’s can slum it when times are tough!

The price tag on this little punkin’ is a mere $4,500. Seems practically free compared to the $30,000 artist’s behemoth.

One final note to my dear readers: I realize posting has been a tad slim of late. I assure you it’s for a good cause–I’m building a new business, one that I think you’ll all really dig. I’m spending my days scouting out exceptional vacation rental properties that I can recommend on my new site, Inhabit Vacations. So the next time you curse fate that there’s not a witty, insightful Real Savvy post before you, know that I’m out in the trenches, finding super cool houses that you–yes you!–can visit. Real Savvy Real Estate isn’t going anywhere, so don’t lose faith, but posts may slow down a little while I get Inhabit up and running.  I’ve got a ton of real estate stories and inside scoops in the pipeline, so stay tuned!

    I agree, it's a stunner. With the live-work thing, are you saying this property is somehow zoned to have a business run out of it? Like, um, you could have a boutique in the lower level …. ???? I'm a bit confused. Or is it zoned so that you can have 5 office workers come in each day to work on a business that's all information-related .. ? Pls explain, Rebecca. Not that I'm going to rent it .. I'm just curious. Thx for the porn! You always find my fave kind!
