SAME SPACE, DIFFERENT PLACE
How Finished Is Finished?
Both of these lofts near Gramercy Park are bright and airy and cover the same square footage (they’re actually in the same line). Yet their asking prices are $155,000 apart, a discrepancy that can’t be chalked up to elevation. Apartment 9F will appeal to buyers looking for an old-school loft that retains its basic industrial character, whereas 6F’s owners rebuilt the kitchen, added a room, removed a bath, and installed maple floors and central air. “Eighty percent of the apartment was changed,” says Karen Kelley, who’s handling the sale of 6F with her colleague Deanna Kory.
