The coveted 'E-line': A Prewar Loft with 12ft Ceilings and generous scale. Twelve-foot prewar ceilings set the scale. Eastern light pours through oversized windows, moving across rich hardwood floors as the day unfolds. At 1,236 square feet, the proportions feel generous in a way that's genuinely rare: a living room stretching 19 by 17 feet, a proper entry gallery long enough to hang art that deserves to be seen.

The kitchen's arched pass-through is the kind of detail architects obsess over, a sculptural opening framed in warm wood with bar seating that pulls people in while you cook. The dining room beyond it holds its own: intimate enough for a weeknight, easy enough to expand for a crowd.

The primary suite is a true retreat with a generously sized bedroom, a walk-in closet, and an en suite bath with a double vanity. The second full bath handles guests without compromise. A Bosch washer/dryer lives in the unit. Storage, including a private attic, is abundant.

The Petersfield is one of Downtown's original loft conversions and still one of its best: full-time doorman, roof terrace, and a Crunch gym at street level. Union Square, the Village, Whole Foods, and the city's best transit hub are all within a short walk.
