458 BROOME STREET

A rarity nowadays, this original 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.

This remarkable 2300 sq.ft. residence is offered furnished or unfurnished. 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.
