Property Description for 451 West Broadway, 2-S

An impeccable gut renovation transforms this 19th-Century warehouse, offering a number of features that rarely are available. This classic loft warehouse building provides a keyed elevator which arrives directly into this private, full floor residence. Showcasing a true open loft plan but with unparalleled craftsmanship and design, every detail of this home is up to the most exacting standards. The breathtaking, open layout features an oversized living/dining room with high ceilings, wide-plank rift oak flooring, a wall of custom walnut and lacquer cabinetry and deep set double-glazed windows that drench the space with ample western light. Anchoring this open space is a stunning and crisp chef's level kitchen centered around an oversized island that offers entertaining spaces to both sides of the living area. Noteworthy features include deep countertops, endless custom cabinetry with walnut inserts and top-of-the line appliances including Subzero refrigeration, a Gaggenau cooktop with vented-out hood, double Miele ovens and dishwasher and a 40-bottle dual zone temperature-controlled wine refrigerator. The bedroom wing is located on the eastern end of the loft, and is separated by a smartly designed, elongated hallway that provides separation and privacy from the entertaining areas and leads to two guest rooms, a separate study with custom milled cabinetry and terminates in a dramatic, well-proportioned master bedroom suite. This master bedroom area is outfitted with a custom walnut walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom with a floating vanity, glass-enclosed rain shower and a deep Agape soaking tub providing a spa-level experience that is further complimented by a wall of dramatic tilt and turn picture windows that open onto one's own private, landscaped and decked terrace. Additional amenities include an ultra-efficient central air conditioning system with humidification, a large separate laundry room, custom lighting, motorized blinds, and in ceiling speakers located throughout the unit. The home also incorporates a state-of-the-art "Control-4" home automation system which is compatible with your smart phone, tablet or laptop - putting music, TVs, lighting, shades, and climate control at the touch of your fingers. In addition the building offers video intercom security and private basement storage. Located in the most prized section of Soho, this home is situated alongside the best cafes, galleries, and shopping downtown has to offer as well as all major transportation.

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.
