Property Description for 57 Sullivan Street
As one of the oldest surviving homes in all of Manhattan, historic 57 Sullivan Street provides a rare and unique opportunity to acquire a gorgeous three-family investment property or to convert the 21-foot-wide
Currently configured as an owner's duplex with basement plus two expansive one-bedroom units on the upper floors, the building has been beautifully maintained over the years and features both historic details and modern updates. Arrive at the duplex through iconic arched doorway to find an open-plan great room filled with sunlight and charm. The wood-burning brick fireplace and ceiling medallion nod to a bygone era, but the open kitchen is ready for the demands of a modern chef with abundant cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. The expansive bedroom is placed at the rear of the home and features another brick fireplace, two large closets, delightful garden views and a door leading to the fairy tale outdoor space. There's extra closet space and a full bathroom on this level, while downstairs, the basement features another full bathroom. Lined by stone walls and flooring, this cozy lower level includes an oversized media room, plus a large den, office and storage.
The large upper level apartments are equal in size and finish to the owner's duplex upper level, with open plan living, updated kitchens, large bedrooms, fireplaces and exposed brick. The top-floor unit is illuminated by large skylights. Currently occupied, these units can be delivered vacant. An extremely low tax rate adds to the building's abundant appeal.
A stellar example of Federal style architecture, 57 Sullivan Street boasts a handsome Flemish-bond brick facade with incised brownstone detailing. Built in 1816, the building's occupants have reflected the composition of its Lower Manhattan neighborhood throughout its 200-year history — from its initial tradesman single-family residents to its later conversion to multi-family use by immigrant families. Set on the border of SoHo and Hudson Square, within easy reach of Greenwich Village and Tribeca, today the home is surrounded by an eclectic mix of historic and new construction buildings housing both established local business and inventive new restaurants. Soho's famed shopping districts are minutes away, and nearby fine dining options include David Burke Kitchen and Cipriani Downtown.
Transportation from this accessible neighborhood is excellent with 1, A/C/E, N/Q/R/Q, J/Z and 6 trains all close by.

Quick Profile
Famous for its art galleries, designer boutiques, cobblestone streets and cast-iron architecture, SoHo has always been full of buzz - wowing both tourists and locals alike. It’s rich with history (more so than most neighborhoods). So, whether you’re a computer nerd, serial shopper or foodie, you’re guaranteed to find something exciting to do in this storied neighborhood.
SoHo is bounded by Houston Street to the north, Canal Street in the south, 6th Avenue to the west and Crosby Street on the east.
The neighborhood has gone through many ups and downs over its long history. Enough to make a voluminous history book. When the Dutch discovered Lower Manhattan, they came across indigenous people living on the island. Technically, the American Indians were the first Manhattanites and then the Dutch moved in making them the second original Manhattanites.
After the Civil War ended, the west side of Lower Manhattan flourished because the shipping routes changed. Textiles and the need for all types of products increased. Warehouses and large lofts were built and replaced farmland to accommodate the commerce. Many of those buildings are still standing and give SoHo its unique character and charm.
The bustling commerce eventually stopped and in the mid 1800’s, well-to-do families began moving into SoHo. They built exquisite buildings, many of which are characterized by their cast-iron facades. Soon after it became residential, theatres, music halls and eateries followed. The wealthy eventually left and the once prosperous district began another decline.
The 1960’s marks SoHo’s most definitive period. City planners lost their bid to build a major highway that would level a portion of the neighborhood and many historic buildings. After their failed attempt to revitalize SoHo, artists quickly moved into the empty lofts and warehouses. Some legally, and other move-ins, not so legal. The city turned a blind eye. Artists of all mediums working from their new creative spaces created a ripple in the art scene. It was such a ripple that the well-to-do uptown crowd started buying their art and hanging out with them. The uptown folks eventually moved into the neighborhood and began buying up the lofts and warehouses. As soon as the word spread, up went the property values and the rest is history.
