Property Description for 29 Howard Street, 2

Wonderfully unique and exceptional loft condominium with the best SoHo has to offer!

Unit 2 at 29 Howard Street is a hidden gem exemplifying the perfect blend of high-end luxury and SoHo ambiance. This home is a dream for loft lovers wanting to have it all: high ceilings (over 12’ throughout the entire property), tons of storage space, beautiful brick walls in every room, and an unexpected, unobstructed, dramatic view. Indeed, the living room offers a direct perspective of beautiful and quiet cobblestoned Crosby Street extending northward! One of a kind, really. And, just as important, the well-managed building has one of the lowest monthly carrying costs (under a $1/month/sqft !!) for a condo in the city.

Measuring more than 2,000 square feet, this impressive property features wide-plank oak floors, central heat, and A/C. Offering 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, which have been meticulously well-maintained by its owner, this home sits within the frame of a classic pre-war, cast iron building.

A private keyed elevator opens directly into the living room, boasting the over-12-foot ceilings. Bathed in natural light from its oversized, double-hung north-facing windows, the room is spacious, yet warm and welcoming. The impressive view on Crosby Street is the first showstopper to this space, followed by the pristine brick walls. Enjoying full privacy, you are facing nothing else but SoHo itself. The separate dining area can easily seat up to 14 people. The open chef’s kitchen, also benefiting from the view, is equipped with a dishwasher, a Miele 5-burner gas range and oven, and a Sub-Zero side-by-side refrigerator/freezer. Located behind the kitchen is an uber-practical pantry with even more storage space and shelving.

Occupying the south end of the loft are the two extremely quiet, large bedrooms. Once you step into the master bedroom, you are met with tranquil south-facing extra-large windows. This room is spacious enough to accommodate a king-sized bed and a separate seating area. The master bathroom has both a large bathtub and shower. An additional highlight is the generous walk-in closet, that can also be used as a den or office space.

The second bedroom is also abundant with square footage and closet and boasts its own en-suite bathroom.

The separate laundry room will also allow access to the storage located above the washer and dryer. This storage space is able to fit numerous large storage containers.

Built in 1895, 29 Howard Street is a 5-unit, 5-story boutique pre-war condominium located at the crossroads of SoHo, TriBeCa, and Little Italy. There is a diverse and eclectic assortment of shops, restaurants, bars and galleries in the immediate area, as well as access to multiple subway lines via Canal Street. Citibike Station around the block.The condominium also allows co-purchasing, pied-a-terre, gifting, and investors.

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.
