Description

?? Why This Loft is a Unicorn:

Top-Floor Status (8th Floor Over Prince Street):
True top-floor Soho lofts are rare, especially with unobstructed skyline views. Most buildings in Soho are mid-rise, so this loft rises above the rest—literally.

This loft combines the rarest physical qualities (light, height, windows, views), authentic architectural charm, and historical pedigree—all in one of NYC’s most storied neighborhoods. That’s what makes it a true real estate unicorn!

Light & Views:
With 41 feet of Northern exposure through oversized, double-paned windows, you're getting exceptional natural light and actual skyline views—a rarity in low-rise historic districts like Soho.

Historic Character + Modern Updates:
11-foot ceilings
Original columns
Cast iron architecture
Updated with modern, energy-efficient windows
Flexible plumbing for design customization

True Artist's Loft Feel & Flexibility:
Currently open-plan, with potential to create a 2-bedroom, 2-3 bathroom home. The open space, high ceilings, and columns maintain the authentic Soho artist loft vibe while offering layout flexibility.
