84 Mercer Street   Unit 2B

Residence 2B is an extraordinary loft with soaring 16’ ceiling heights, located at 515 Broadway between Spring and Broome Streets, within a majestic Queen Anne style loft building in the heart of historic SoHo. Positioned 20’ above street level, this exceptional residence exudes grandeur and bespoke design, offering an enormous layout that includes three bedrooms, three full baths, two half baths, a spacious library, gymnasium, music/media room, lounge, and recreation room. The floor plan spans over 4,700 square feet on the main level and an additional 1,300 square feet on the mezzanine level – creating an impressive 6,000+ square feet. The owner's meticulous renovation and unparalleled attention to detail overseen by Rexrode Chirigos Architects, has expertly preserved the character of the 1884 historic building, while seamlessly integrating modern comforts and a contemporary aesthetic.
A key-locked elevator leads to a semi-private landing that opens to a colossal great room which itself spans approximately 1,200 square feet. The 16’ ceiling heights are punctuated by exquisitely detailed fluted Corinthian cast iron columns; and four massive 5’x11’ eastern facing windows flood the vast space with natural light.
The open chef's kitchen is thoughtfully designed to accommodate both everyday living and entertaining. Abundant Zebrawood cabinetry, jade-colored recycled glass countertops and waterfall island, and a stainless steel tile backsplash are simultaneously open to the great room, and partially concealed by translucent panels. The kitchen’s top of the line appliances include integrated 48” French door Liebherr refrigerator and freezer, Miele five-burner gas cooktop with vented stainless steel hood, Miele integrated double ovens, Miele dishwasher, and Insinkerator food disposal.
A large pocket door off the great room leads to the impressive and sizable library, which also features those incredible 16’ ceiling heights and has two full walls of floor-to-ceiling clear coated steel bookcases, complemented by a sliding industrial ladder.
At the end of the full height grand gallery corridor (dotted by the 10 majestic columns) lies the massive pin drop quiet primary suite, a magnificent sanctuary with the same 16’ ceiling heights. Three south-facing 11’ tall windows illuminate the room with natural light, providing delightful views of the bright and airy courtyard with its historic loft shutters and quintessentially SoHo industrial architectural details. Behind an elegant Venetian plaster bed wall, and accessible from both sides, is a massive walk-in dressing room thoughtfully designed with wall-to-wall built-in Anigre wood cabinetry and custom millwork. The resplendent spa-like en-suite bathroom features honed Baltimore limestone floor tiles, polished Thassos marble walls, a Thassos custom double vanity, Duravit sinks and Dornbracht fixtures. At its centerpiece lies an Italian 5.5’ Agape Exmar tub, while a massive 13’ double shower with Hansgrohe and Dornbracht fixtures complete the space. The bathroom also includes a private water closet with a Duravit wall hung commode. Adjacent to the bathroom (and also accessible from the library) is a spacious private gymnasium with padded floors and a wall of mirrors.
The second bedroom, currently set up as an additional home office, once again boasts an 11’ window, and 16’ ceiling heights for part of the space. Its en-suite bathroom is completed with black tile, a Duravit sink with Villeroy & Boch and Dornbracht fixtures, and a free-standing shower. Off the gallery hallway, a large media/music room is equipped with built-in Dolby speakers and is thoughtfully acoustically insulated. Tucked behind the staircase is a full-size laundry room with a Miele washer and dryer, along with a built-in ironing board, sink, and ample storage.
