Description

This quintessential voluminous SoHo condominium loft with 24-hour doorman, located in an iconic pre-war 1882 landmark, has been spectacularly renovated and designed by David Howell to celebrate its awesome 4,400sf scale, with 16-foot ceilings, exposed brick walls, and dramatic West-facing 35-foot-plus width celebrated via enormous windows.

A palatial entry gallery with dramatic Corinthian columns leads you to the grandly scaled Great Room with an oversized gas-burning fireplace and a wall of hidden, custom-built cherry wood cabinetry. A sealed-off west-facing glass conservatory is elevated and provides a light-hearted space. An impressive stairway leads to a mezzanine level that affords visitors a sweeping view of the enormous open kitchen with Gaggenau cooking and Sub-zero refrigeration appliances that allow for lavish entertaining. Upstairs, there is also an in-home gym and 400-bottle temperature-controlled wine storage. A massive projection screen home entertainment system discreetly emerges from the ceiling, converting the living room into a home theater.

The Primary bedroom, with its gas fireplace, features an ensuite bathroom with spa-worthy amenities, including marble countertops and heated floors. It also has excellent storage space, a sit-in shower, and a dry sauna for the ultimate, luxurious lifestyle. The walk-in closet is Bergdorf-Goodman-worthy. The second bedroom suite is equally impressive and quiet, facing south with large windows and ample closet space.
