Description

A rarity nowadays, this original 2,300 sq.ft. artist’s loft in iconic SoHo is a sprawling, sun-filled three-bedroom that has been meticulously and lovingly preserved. Sublime details, like a wall of south-facing floor-to-ceiling windows, 13 ft. ceiling heights and the original pressed tin ceiling throughout, place this home in the exclusive group of homes that represent Soho in its original glory.

A keyed-elevator ushers you into the massive great room with southern views on to the quintessential cast-iron buildings SoHo is renowned for. The open space of 822 sq.ft. can easily be divided into a living and dining area, with ample room to spare. A walk-in closet and storage space round out the very generous entertaining area. The eat-in kitchen boasts top-of-the-line appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking range and Bosch dishwasher, as well as a huge fireclay farmhouse apron front sink, butcher block countertops and ample cabinet space.

Framed by two north-facing windows, the palatial primary bedroom measures an impressive 300 sq.ft. and features a wall of floor-to-ceiling closets, built-in shelving and a loft area for storage. It immediately accesses the bathroom, with a separate WC, a combined bathtub and shower with antique brass fixtures, and a vented, stacked Kenmore W/D.

A second, internal bedroom is filled with light thanks to transom windows on both sides, and could easily be repurposed as a media room or home office. A third bedroom retains its original charm under a beamed ceiling and with an architectural glass window sourced from a renowned Hudson Valley glassmith.

Home to artists and designers, including Alex Katz, recipient of a recent career retrospective at the Guggenheim, 458 Broome Street is a five-story co-operative with four residential units located in the heart of SoHo. Built in 1867, the cast iron building’s arched cornice with dentil molding and twin columns reflect its Greco-Roman inspired architecture. Located at the nexus of New York City’s dining, culture and shopping offerings, this is the opportunity to be a part of SoHo's rich community.

Monthly maintenance is subsidized by rental income collected from the coop's commercial tenants, paid in semi-annual distributions. This is the net figure.
