Property Description for 161 Grand Street, 5-A

Filled with windows and premium finishes, this immaculate two-bedroom plus study, two-and-a-half-bathroom condominium is a serene and sunny retreat in a coveted location bordering SoHo and Little Italy. Fifteen city quiet windows facing north and east flood this 1,771-square-foot home with abundant light and open-sky views that skim over the neighboring buildings and frame the iconic Centre Street Police Building. The refined, muted color palette sets a tranquil mood, while tall beamed ceilings, blonde oak flooring and beautifully curated custom lighting emphasizes the open airiness. Enter via key-locked elevator and take in the large open-plan great room offering plenty of room for living and dining areas. The open kitchen is perfectly executed with ample cabinetry, stone countertops and fine stainless steel appliances by Sub-Zero, Viking and Bosch surrounding a substantial center island/breakfast bar. The coveted split-bedroom layout places two bedroom suites at opposite corners of the home. The master includes eastern light, a custom walk-in closet and a linen closet, and a bright windowed en suite bathroom lined in marble and featuring a large soaking tub, separate shower and dual-sink vanity. The second bedroom includes northern views, a large closet and an equally well-appointed en suite bathroom. The windowed study off the living room can easily be used as a bedroom or nursery, if needs require. An additional closet, powder room, laundry room with in-unit washer-dryer and trash chute access, central air conditioning, a dedicated hot water heater and a large storage bin in the basement add to this gracious home's utter convenience and comfort. The Solita is a pet-friendly loft conversion condominium offering residents a live-in superintendent who receives packages, common roof deck, video security system, bike room and private storage. Here, you're surrounded by the excitement of NoLita, SoHo, Tribeca and the Bowery. Buzzy restaurants and hot spots line the surrounding blocks, and SoHo's premiere Broadway shopping district is mere minutes away. Nearly every subway line is nearby — including the N/Q/R/W, J/Z, 6, B/D and A/C/E trains — putting the rest of the city within easy reach.

Little Italy | Manhattan

Quick Profile

It’s fitting that the neighborhood’s name is Little Italy because It’s been getting smaller for decades. The Italian immigrants that flooded New York City and built the vibrant ethnic enclave in the 1860s and 1880s eventually left for greener pastures, assimilating into other parts of the city or suburbs. The disappearance of Little Italy is a sad story as far as neighborhoods go, but it’s one that should be told. 

Little Italy once spanned 50 square blocks and represented the biggest population of Italian immigrants in America. But in recent years, it’s been squeezed by the growth of Chinatown and SoHo and muscled from the rebranding of other neighborhoods like NoHo and NoLIta. In fact, NoLita was the culprit that cut the neighborhood in two. Little Italy’s boundaries may vary depending upon who you ask. Today it’s down to just a few blocks along Mulberry Street. 

One of the best ways to experience Little Italy is through its food. Take your pick from mom-and-pop markets, meat and cheese shops, or authentic sit-down restaurants that offer the very best in Italian cuisine. 

Every September (since 1926), the neighborhood hosts the Feast of San Gennaro, which celebrates the patron Saint of Naples Italy. 11 days of food, colorful parades, music performances, and more food. The aroma of zeppole and grilled sausage can be smelt for blocks. Try planning your visit around this festive time. It’s well worth it.
