Property Description for 20 Greene Street, 4-B
This beautifully designed Soho loft, masterfully renovated by architect S. Russell Groves, won a prestigious IDEC Merit Award for “Best Urban Apartment.” The apartment was also featured in Interior Design magazine and on HGTV’s “Top 10” (loft episode).
Boasting 11-foot ceilings, grand-scale rooms, and oversized windows, the loft feels spacious yet intimate. Highlights include richly stained 4-inch solid oak plank floors, 8-foot solid-core walnut doors, and custom mahogany-framed windows that are triple-paned for the ultimate in sound attenuation and thermal insulation. Special architectural features include antique aluminum louvers and steel-framed factory windows separating the living room and den. The living room features extensive built-in storage, large oak doors hung from barn-style rollers, and a convenient desk and a banquette for casual seating. The ultimate professional kitchen includes the best-in-brand SubZero Pro 48, a Viking 36” range with griddle, a custom-faced Viking 200-bottle wine refrigerator, and a Viking Professional Chimney Wall Hood capable of extracting an incredible 1200 cubic feet per minute.
The loft also features central air conditioning and a large laundry room with side-by-side washer/dryer, a utility sink and loads of storage.
This modern loft residence is a rare confluence of great taste and superior quality.

20 Greene Street, a landmarked building on the SoHo Cast-Iron District National Historic Register, is part of the longest continuous row (10 to be exact) of iron-front buildings anywhere. 20 Greene Street was constructed in 1880 by Samuel Warner and was converted to residential condominiums in 1999. The building retains its original industrial aura, and is on a less traveled, cobblestone block in Soho, which makes it feel more “quiet Soho” than many other blocks in the area. The facade and front stairs just underwent a complete restoration. The building has a key locked elevator and two units on most floors.

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.
