Our Favorite Listing: Anne Hathaway's "Modern Love" Co-Op

Since Amazon Prime's Modern Love series is all the rage right now, I thought you might be interested in covering a co-op that just listed in the building that stars as Anne Hathaway's home in Episode 3!

Located at 256 Mott St. The 2 bed/ 2 bath co-op is located on the Parlor floor of the historic Astor Memorial School at 256 Mott Street in Nolita. The listing is currently asking for $3,500,000/

The approximately 50' by 33' great room is wrapped with 8 landmarked windows facing east, south and west, each at least 7 feet tall, some with arches and all with impeccably restored millwork surrounds and molded window detail. The great room exposure is quite mesmerizing as it overlooks the Basilica and bucolic gardens of the St. Patrick's Old Cathedral, which wraps all of Prince between Mott and Mulberry.

Noteworthy features of the main living area include a decorative fireplace with marble mantle, original cast-iron columns, 300-year-old antique longleaf pine flooring reclaimed from beams in a Louisiana textile mill and three-foot-tall custom wainscot baseboards. There is also a charming windowed sitting area off the great room that can be used as a home office, a gallery wall or a painting nook.

Built in 1888-1889 for the Children's Aid Society, the building was designed by the firm of Vaux & Radford and is a striking example of Victorian Gothic architecture and built with funds by Jacob Astor. Adorned with carved stone, terra cotta and pressed Philadelphia brick, the building was converted to co-op in 1972 and later designated a New York City Landmark in 1977. 256 Mott is a boutique, self-managed co-op consisting of 5 units.
