Mike Rutherford, a founding member of Genesis and front man of Mike + the Mechanics, is renting out his three-bedroom loft at 1 Bond Street.
The 3,400-square-foot condominium unit just hit the rental market with Sotheby's International Realty agents Mark Thomas Amadei and Jonathan Hettinger, priced at $25,950 per month.
In 2010, the England-born Rutherford was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Genesis -- the longstanding rock band that launched the careers of super stars Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel. Rutherford formed Mike + the Mechanics in 1985, yielding hits like "The Living Years," and "All I Need is a Miracle."
According to city records, Rutheford and his wife, Angie, paid $5.03 million for the third-floor apartment at 1 Bond Street in 2008, buying it from restaurateur Josh Pickard, the operator of Chinatown Brasserie, Joe's Pub, Lure and Locanda Verde.
The Rutherfords extensively renovated the space with the intention of moving in, Amadei said, but it turns out the 60-year-old guitarist will be touring more than expected for the next few years, so the couple has decided to rent it out instead.
"They're not going to be here enough, so they decided to rent it out -- to the right person," Amadei said. The home first hit the rental market this spring, but the tenant moved out after being relocated, he said.
1 Bond StreetTo handle the renovation, the Rutherfords hired Manhattan design firm nemaworkshop. One of the first steps was to unearth the loft's six cast-iron columns, which had been covered with plaster in the 1980s, Amadei said.
The apartment has not yet been lived in since the renovation, so it's unfurnished, but there are "a lot of built-ins," Amadei said, including a rolling library ladder and LCD TV screens. The loft has a Crestron home automation system, and each room has iPod docks built into the walls. There is even a shoe closet, Amadei noted.
The west side of the apartment looks out over landmarked Shinbone Alley, which inspired a Broadway musical and, fittingly, a song by the Spin Doctors.
