Property Description for 134 Sullivan Street
Built in 1826, 134 Sullivan Street is a Federal style townhouse with elegant Flemish-bond brickwork. Situated in a row of red brick houses built by John Jacob Astor, this 22 foot wide house delivers 4,752 square feet of building mass and has an addition that runs from top to bottom of the house. Located in the newly landmarked Sullivan-Thompson Historic District, this home enjoys the best of both worlds as the location enjoys the tranquility typical of Greenwich Village, while having proximity to the heart and vibrancy of Soho. The surrounding tree cover, small building scale and quiet pace of this site deliver a quality of life that is truly hard to find downtown.
Currently set up as a two family residence, with a thoroughly renovated lower duplex comprising the ground and parlor floors. Comprehensive renovation work was completed in 2014, and included a full demolition and re-configuration of the garden level, addition of 3 new bathrooms, new kitchen, new well-proportioned stairwell and creation of a paved multilevel rear garden. The addition of a large new French window near the Parlor level kitchen, provides a lovely transition out to the garden seamlessly integrating interior and exterior living. New lighting and outlets were installed, new hot & cold supply lines, plumbing fixtures and lines, while waste lines were upgraded and replaced. Important structural upgrades were implemented as well, with new concrete and steel supports applied to rectify long-standing masonry issues. High-efficiency central air-conditioning and heating systems were added as well as radiant underfloor heat systems. Fenestration was replaced with the installation of well-insulated glass windows throughout the lower duplex.
The upper two floors have received some minor upgrades, but could certainly use further renovations. There are five bedrooms upstairs as well as large open kitchen and full width living room. At the rear of the top floor is a sequestered little flat with a full bath and small kitchenette, perfect for a nanny or guests. Any renovation work now contemplated on the uppers floors will be greatly streamlined and simplified due to the intensive building wide infrastructural work done during the 2014 renovation. 134 Sullivan provides an excellent framework for investment as much of the heavy lifting and renovation has already been completed. Perfect opportunity for the single-family end user as well as the pure investor looking for high rental yield and return. Property to be delivered vacant. Showings begin in July.

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.
