Loft 2F at 84 Forsyth Street is a one-bedroom, one-and-a-half bathroom master class in authentic downtown loft life. Overlooking Sara D. Roosevelt Park, the home offers a sunny western exposure; below, the humdrum of New York City is alive and well, offering a distinctly Lower East Side tableau that is energizing and fun. Inside, though, the home is quiet and warm.

Enter the space into an expansive great room, where proper loft scale allows for open living, generous dining and a sunny office nook (currently complemented by an in-home sauna). The space feels classic, with high ceilings finished in original tin detail and at least several layout options.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully upgraded with a refined, utilitarian sensibility, defined by a beautiful commercial-grade Sub-Zero refrigerator, a hooded range and integrated finishes and appliances.

A long hallway lined with library shelves and books leads to the bedroom, which is serene and understated — a retreat, of sorts. It's quiet, fits comfortably the bed of your preference, and has plenty of closets and a cozy exposure. The bathrooms have been upgraded with a timeless palette: subway tile, penny tile, and lovely vanities paired with modern fixtures — classic, restrained, enduring.

Additional comforts include in-unit washer/dryer, split system air conditioning, and well-considered storage throughout.

84 Forsyth Street is an intimate, eight-residence condominium, positioned across from Sara D. Roosevelt Park. Its location places you at the center of one of downtown’s most vibrant enclaves. Mornings might begin with coffee at Le Gaz or pastries from Elbow Bread; afternoons could easily find you drifting through galleries and vintage shops; evenings unfold at Lei, Cervo’s, Le Dive. Nearby, Nine Orchard and Public Hotel anchor the neighborhood with a refined hospitality presence. The home, the building and the buildings nearby are known to have historically housed artists and creatives.
