PROS: A long foyer suddenly opens into this airy prewar loft, which has four 10-foot-high windows facing east that provide an ideal vantage point from which to watch the bustling streets below. There are hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, an enclosed den and chic, modern bathrooms. The master bedroom has three windows facing west.

CONS: A substantial mezzanine area that provides extra sleeping and storage space is not tall enough to stand up in.
