Property Description for 129 Lafayette Street, 4C/5C

Introducing Residence #4/5C at 129 Lafayette - a stunning 4,000 sf SoHo residence with 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, soaring 12' beamed ceilings, 2 private balconies and a double-wide living & dining area with south, west and east exposures.

This superb, mint-condition residence is being offered as a combination of #4C and #5C at 129 Lafayette. The rarity of this opportunity cannot be understated; if you wish, only an interior stairwell would need to be added to convert the two residences into one sprawling duplex. #4/5C is an absolute find and simply the best 4-bedroom (flex 5) in SoHo with monthly carrying costs rarely this low for the area.

On the upper level, a grand foyer welcomes you into this light-filled, triple exposure loft (south, west and east) with views over SoHo and Little Italy. The open-concept layout combines the massive living and dining areas with the chef's kitchen, industrial-scale windows, hardwood floors, and recessed lighting throughout.

The modern chef's kitchen is an absolute dream and masterfully appointed with a six-burner Viking gas range with externally vented hood, Thermador double ovens, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, granite countertops and Valcucine custom lacquer cabinetry. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the living room, which has a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows and custom built-in cabinetry, while the dining area can accommodate an extra-large dining table, bar area, console and more.

A separate hallway leads to the stunningly bright and tranquil primary bedroom, equipped with custom insulated windows, motorized shades, recessed lighting, and an enormous, custom walk-in California closet. The en-suite bathroom has a custom double vanity, cream terrazzo floors, a Kohler "Tea for Two" soaking tub and a separate glass-enclosed shower. The second bedroom includes an oversized floor-to-ceiling closet, while the newly renovated and windowed second bathroom has a glass enclosed shower, heated towel rack, and a floating vanity finished in a natural wood tone.

The lower level has a deluxe three-bedroom, three-bathroom layout with room to spare for a spacious family room or home office that leads out to a private terrace with views to the south and east. A fully-vented Washer/Dryer and private storage area are also included in this rare SoHo gem.

129 Lafayette Street was originally constructed circa 1900 as a printing and bookbinding facility. Located at the nexus of SoHo, TriBeCa, Little Italy and Chinatown, the building today houses 27 luxury residences of distinction. This full-service condominium offers residents a 24-hour doorman, full-time superintendent, porter service, and a landscaped roof deck with spectacular city views. 129 Lafayette offers the best of downtown living and is directly across the street from the Howard Street Hotel, trendy restaurants, vibrant nightlife and the highest calibre of shopping. Public transportation options abound, with the 6/A/C/D/E/J/N/Q/R/W/Z Canal Street stations all nearby.

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.
