Property Description for 161 Grand Street, PH-A

Sprawling approximately 3600 sq. ft, this extraordinary, sun-drenched loft showcases quintessential New York City views and boasts a 1000 sq. ft. landscaped, panoramic roof deck. Featured in Architectural Digest and blending unparalleled luxury with a chic downtown aesthetic, this spectacular home is flooded with natural light and graced with charming 11 foot ceiling heights. Currently outfitted as a 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home plus home office — there is an alternate floorplan illustrating where a third and fourth bedroom with en-suite bathrooms can be added. Step off the key-locked elevator to the dramatic eastern views of the Williamsburg, Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges and sweeping northern city views that include the iconic Police Building and Empire State Building. The airy living area has a sitting room with a gas fireplace that can be closed off via a sliding door, affording maximum privacy. A separate dining area flows graciously off the living area, allowing for easy entertaining. The open chef's kitchen with a breakfast bar and Caesarstone countertops features sleek and streamlined custom cabinetry and top-of-the-line Viking, Bosch and Sub-Zero appliances. Ascend the steel and leather-paneled staircase that seemingly floats next to a custom wall created from reclaimed wood flooring from the Berkshires and step onto a private, planted terrace with a grill. With views to three sides and finished with terracotta tiles and built-in wood seating, this roof-deck is the pinnacle of exquisite taste and entertainment. With oversized, west-facing windows, the luxurious primary suite features a custom walk-in closet, as well as two more large closets. The en-suite spa-like bathroom includes a glass-enclosed rain shower and WC, a deep soaking Jacuzzi tub with a south-facing window, and custom vanities. The large second bedroom is outfitted with ample closet space and a stunning en-suite bathroom with a glass enclosed shower and custom Travertine stonework. Nestled next to the guest bedroom, there is a home office/library featuring custom built-in shelving. Additional features include an ample laundry room with washer/dryer, Nest controlled central heat and A/C, Crestron audio systems, and a large storage unit in the basement. The Solita is a boutique condominium located at the crossroads of SoHo and Little Italy with some of the best restaurants, nightlife and shopping that New York has to offer. Convenient to all public transportation, this pet-friendly condominium features a virtual doorman with remote live-in super, a bike room, and a roof terrace.

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.
