Property Description for 225 Lafayette Street, 4-D

At the crossroads of Soho and Nolita, 225 Lafayette Street is a full service prewar condominium designed by the legendary Cass Gilbert. Residence 4D is a two bedroom, two and a half bathroom offering over 2,100 square feet of indoor and outdoor living space. One of a kind in the building, this is the only non-penthouse unit with private outdoor space. A rare offering in the downtown market. Entering through a gracious foyer, Residence 4D provides an open living plan with 11’ beamed ceilings, the highest in the building. The North-facing living and dining area provide all day light with views over Spring Street. The kitchen is clean and sleek with ample counter space and top-of-the-line appliances including a Bosch cooktop with vented Miele hood, Bosch convection oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator and Miele dishwasher. Flooded with Eastern light, the master bedroom is a private sanctuary. The luxurious space is complete with an adjoining windowed home office/walk-in closet and two floor-to-ceiling French glass doors opening directly to the 450 SF planted terrace. The windowed ensuite master bathroom features marble tile, separate stall shower, water closet, and a deep soaking tub by Kohler. The South-facing second bedroom also has an ensuite bathroom with matching finishes and direct access to the terrace. Reminiscent of the courtyard at the Greenwich Hotel in Tribeca, the 450 SF terrace features ivy covered brick walls with open blue sky above. An automated retractable awning spans the full length of the terrace, providing shade for private dining and entertaining. The Spring Condominium is a notable example of Beaux-Arts architecture and former home to the Italian Savings Bank. Cass Gilbert, the distinguished architect whose portfolio includes the Woolworth Building, designed this 12-story building in 1923. Converted to a 41-unit condominium in 2005, amenities include a full-time doorman, full-time superintendent, and landscaped common roof deck with stunning 360 views. Moments to transportation and incredible restaurants, such as Balthazar, Sant Ambroeus, and Jack’s Wife Freda. Neighborhood convenience includes the Equinox two blocks away and the countless shopping options across Soho, Nolita and Noho. There is an assessment in place of $359.82/month for the lobby renovation (ends in June 2018).

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.
