Property Description for 451 West Broadway, 2-N

Move right into this mint and meticulously renovated full-floor loft located in a converted 19th-century warehouse right in the heart of historic Soho! Step off the key-locked elevator to an expansive Living/Dining room with high ceilings, wide-plank maple floors, a wood-burning fireplace and tranquil treetop views from enormous double-glazed windows. The gorgeous chef's kitchen with massive center island is open to the entertaining area and features sleek Corian countertops, endless custom-milled cabinetry and pantry space, and top-of-the-line appliances including a 5-burner Gaggenau range with grill and hood vented to the outside, double Gaggenau ovens, a SubZero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, and a 48-bottle temperature controlled wine fridge. Nearby, a cozy seating nook with custom cabinetry cleverly conceals a Murphy bed for overnight guests, while additional closets and built-in's allow you to store everything and lead a clutter-free lifestyle.

Beyond the Living room, a pocket door separates public from private and leads to a large pin-drop quiet Master Bedroom and a spacious office which can easily convert to a second bedroom. Bathed in morning light, the enormous Master Bedroom suite offers a large walk-in closet and a Zen-inspired bathroom clad in pale green Bissasa tiles featuring a custom Corian vanity with dual sinks, a glass-enclosed rain shower, and a deep soaking tub for two. The guest bathroom is equally tasteful and offers a soothing palette which matches the overall feeling of peace and serenity that permeates throughout this immaculate home. Additional amenities include central air conditioning with built-in humidification, a washer-dryer, a Sonos sound system with in-ceiling speakers and volume controls in all major rooms, custom Lutron lighting on dimmers throughout, and a private 850 square foot locked storage room in the basement.

Built in 1884 and designed by James Dubois, the building converted to coop in 1969 and has solid financials and a permanent certificate of occupancy. Its ownership of the ground floor retail space generates income to the coop and is an invaluable asset potentially reducing future maintenance payments by 50 percent. Additional building amenities include a key-locked elevator, brand new Seidel intercom security system, a common roof, and private basement storage. And of course there's the location, putting you right in the heart of Downtown's most vibrant neighborhood with great restaurants, cafes, world class shopping, and all modes of public transportation right at your doorstep. An exceptional home in XXX mint condition!

Soho | Manhattan

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.
