Property Description for 225 Lafayette Street, 6-A

This two-bedroom, two-bathroom loft home offers approximately 1,300 square feet and features a fantastic Southern and Western corner exposure. With open views of SoHo's landmarked Cast Iron District plus a beautiful landscaped roof deck, Apartment 6A is an exceptional opportunity to live in one of New York City's most coveted neighborhoods. An entry foyer opens to a generously proportioned open living and dining space where oversized tilt-and-turn windows drench the apartment in all-day sunlight. Here, lofty ceiling heights combine with the spacious floor plan to evoke a feeling of lavish abundance. A nearby kitchen offers ample counter space and is fully equipped with top-end appliances including a Bosch cooktop with vented Miele hood, Bosch convection oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator and Miele dishwasher.


Off of the main living space, a spacious primary bedroom offers a quiet retreat from the rest of the home. This primary suite is complete with two large closets as well as a spa-like en-suite bath, featuring a double vanity, deep soaking bathtub and separate custom standing steam shower. Toward the other end of the home, pocket doors separate the living room from the secondary bedroom, which offers gorgeous custom built-ins as well as a second bathroom, making for an ideal work from home situation. Additional storage space, a fully-vented washer and dryer and stunning Brazilian walnut floors complete this prewar residence.


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 and the New York Life Insurance 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 a recently renovated landscaped common roof deck with stunning 360 degree city views. The building is located moments from transportation and incredible restaurants such as Balthazar, Sant Ambroeus, and Jack’s Wife Freda. Neighborhood conveniences include a nearby Equinox and a variety of shopping options across Soho, Nolita and Noho including Whole Foods, a newly renovated playground, and Elizabeth Street Public Garden.

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.
