The Price of a Greenwich Village Loft Revealed

by Mark Wellborn

Last Friday, we asked readers to guess the price of a two-bedroom loft in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village. Here is a brief description of the property for those that missed the post:

“The two-bedroom, two-bath loft measures out at approximately 2,700 square feet, and with 13-foot ceilings and almost 60-feet of windows, anyone that has dreamed of living in a loft in New York City will fulfill that dream if they buy this property. The home is in need of a few improvements, particularly something that will provide more natural light to the bedrooms.”

Take a look:

We warned you that any guess south of $1 million would be “silly” and everyone heeded that warning. So how much would you have to plunk down for this palatial pad? The price: $2.2 million. Here is the listing.

The guesses ranged from a low of $1.5 million to a high of $3.2 million. Our winner this week, with a guess of $2.099 million, goes by Jag and is the first UrbanTurf reader to be awarded the inaugural UrbanTurf t-shirt.

    Ah. Wrong side of the tracks. If it were 12 WEST 12th (500 feet west, across Fifth Ave) it’d be at LEAST 20% higher!

    Ah, how nice it would be to be able to drop this kind of money on a pad like this. Love the shirts, by the way!

    I was so close. I went with 2.3 million. Which actually puts me .1 closer than the winner, but I guess there is a “without going over” rule. Oh well.

    I meant .001 or $1,000.
