About This Property
Residence 2 at 5 Great Jones is a rare true full-floor loft with amazing volume, this is downtown living at its most authentic, over 2,300 square feet, soaring 14-foot ceilings, and proportions that simply don’t exist in modern construction. The space carries that unmistakable old New York sou. It’s raw, it’s refined, and it’s incredibly special. Rich in history, this extraordinary loft was once home to the legendary jazz musician Charles Mingus as well as to Kermit Love (creator of Big Bird, Mr. Snuffleupagus, Oscar the Grouch + Cookie Monster).
Thoughtfully renovated, the loft retains its original soul while incorporating essential modern comforts. Configured as a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with a sprawling 1,000-square-foot primary suite and a mezzanine-level office or media room, the layout offers remarkable flexibility. Potentially it could be a 4 bedrooms home. Original details abound, including refinished wood floors, pressed-tin ceilings, exposed brick and beams, clawfoot tubs, and vintage French cast-iron radiators. A working wood-burning fireplace anchors the living space, complemented by two decorative fireplaces—one easily convertible. Modern upgrades include wall-through A/C system, in-loft laundry room, integrated high-end appliances, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and oversized soundproof windows. The home also features exceptional storage throughout, including a large private storage cage in the basement.
5 Great Jones is a discreet, boutique coop with solid financials and reasonable building policies. It has a video intercom system. Perfectly positioned on one of NoHo and Greenwich Village’s most coveted blocks, the building is surrounded by some of downtown’s finest architecture, dining, and shopping. Even though it is a walk-up building, the apartment sits just half a flight up.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
Fourteen-foot ceilings run through this 2,300-square-foot full-floor loft at 5 Great Jones Street, and at that height the main rooms have real volume. Ceilings this tall give you more ways to furnish and arrange the space, and the pressed-tin ceilings, exposed brick and beams add to its character.
The layout is what sets this loft apart from a typical two-bedroom. The listing describes a primary suite of about 1,000 square feet and a mezzanine that can serve as an office or media room. A loft with this much open floor can make that kind of split work, and it's worth seeing the mezzanine in person to judge how it sits against the main floor. The oversized soundproof windows are also worth a close look during a visit.
The original details carry the history. There's a working wood-burning fireplace, two decorative fireplaces with one easily converted, clawfoot tubs, vintage French cast-iron radiators and refinished wood floors. The listing notes that the jazz musician Charles Mingus once lived here, and Kermit Love, the creator of Big Bird, did as well.
Everyday comforts include an in-unit washer and dryer, a dishwasher, a garbage disposal and integrated high-end appliances. Cooling comes from a wall-through A/C system with wall air conditioning units, and there's a wall furnace for heat. Storage is generous, with a large private storage cage in the basement, and the building has a bike room.
Bleecker Street station is about 3 minutes on foot, with the 6, B, D, F and M trains, and Washington Square Park is about 5 minutes away. 4th Street Food Co-Op is about 5 minutes on foot. The building is a walk-up, and the apartment sits half a flight up. Cats and dogs are allowed.
