12K/month Lower East Side loft on the Bowery features a boat-like wooden ceiling

This 2,250-square-foot loft is located at 259 Bowery, between East Houston and Stanton Streets in a 1910 building that was converted to five full-floor apartments in 2000. The Lower East Side pad stands out with a unique, wooden ceiling in the living room that looks like an inverted boat hull, luxurious finishings, hardwood floors, and 11.5-foot ceilings throughout. Renting at $12,000 a month, the unit can come unfurnished or with “most furnishing included,” per the listing.

A private, key-operated elevator brings you right into the heart of the home: the open kitchen with an oversized breakfast bar, custom white and glass cabinetry, and a suite of high-end appliances including a dishwasher and washer/dryer.

Adjacent is a living and dining area framed overhead by a sculptural wooden “archway.” There’s a built-in bench beneath three large windows overlooking Bowery and a wood-burning fireplace surrounded by marble. On the other side of the kitchen is a less formal sitting area, which could be used as an office or as the media center of the home, since it comes ready to go with a built-in surround sound system.

The master bedroom features a wall of exposed brick, a walk-in closet, and a master bathroom with double sinks, a glass-enclosed shower, and a soaking tub.

There’s also a smaller bedroom where the exposed brick was painted white. Both bedrooms have access to the master bathroom and a spacious balcony with seating for two.
