Property Description for 481 Washington Street, 6-S

Come home to splendorous sunsets and unobstructed Hudson River views! This exceptional loft offers the ultimate in privacy and almost 3,000 square feet of expansive living space. The key-locked elevator opens directly into the massive 38' x 33' living room with custom arched windows framing the dramatic water view, the space punctuated with a massive timber ceiling beam and timber columns, with the original 1895 iron brace-work intact. Watch the ships sail by from the center island of the open chef's kitchen crafted of white Shaker cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops and an impressive cast-iron farmhouse sink. The appliances include a Wolf six-burner gas range and hood, Liebherr refrigerator, Liebherr wine-fridge, Bosch dishwasher and Bosch microwave. The spacious master retreat incorporates a dressing area with two walk-in closets, and a five-piece-bathroom with a deep pedestal soaking tub and radiant heated flooring. Two more bedrooms are both generously proportioned, the largest with an en-suite bath. French doors open into the home office where a frosted glass transom provides natural light. The home includes four-inch-wide Appalachian white-oak flooring, central heat and air-conditioning, a side-by-side washer and dryer, and a Bose home sound system wired throughout. With its 25-inch-thick, Beaux Arts facade, the structure originally functioned as a spice warehouse and converted into The Spice Warehouse Condominium in 2013. Comprised of just fifteen units, only two units per floor, a North and a South. Each side has its own elevator and entrance lobby. The residences share a full-time resident manager/superintendent, a service on each floor, a storage room, a bike room, two secured package rooms, and a gym. The loft is uniquely positioned overlooking Canal Park and the Hudson river in a quiet corner of burgeoning Hudson Square, formerly the Printing District, currently the West side's fastest growing residential neighborhood. Hudson Square is also the city's newest creative and technology hub. Google is constructing a 1.7 million square foot waterfront campus one block North on Washington Street, and The Walt Disney Company is constructing their new 19-story headquarters just around the corner on Spring Street. Enjoy sublime, waterfront living here at the crossroads of SoHo, TriBeCa and the West Village, close to the best restaurants, shops, galleries and entertainment venues each of these neighborhoods has to offer! A "Virtual 360 Property Tour" is available.

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.
