Property Description for 77 Mercer Street, 5-S

Nestled on a cobblestoned stretch of Mercer Street in SoHo’s coveted Cast-iron Historic District, this bright, spacious and intimate floor-through condo residence has been gut-renovated to create the superlative Downtown loft (with a laundry room and central air conditioning and heating).

The key-locked elevator opens directly into the foyer and leads to an enormous great room which spans nearly 25 feet over Mercer Street and boasts soaring 11-foot ceilings, wide-plank maple hardwood flooring, and premium finishes. Light pours into this airy space through three massive seven-foot windows (outfitted with solar shades) that reveal eastern sky. A functional wood-burning fireplace, an exposed brick wall and original wood beam pay homage to the neighborhood's storied past and complement the modern, fresh appeal of this loft.

The gourmet open chef's kitchen, by high-end Italian kitchen designer Pedini, centers around an 8-foot island (that can serve as a breakfast bar) and is outfitted with a suite of Miele appliances (with a vented hood), Italian wood grain cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, a trio of custom pendant light fixtures and an InSinkErator Pro Disposal.

Off the hallway are two bedrooms both with en-suite bathrooms, a powder room, and a laundry room equipped with a full-sized Electrolux washer and a separate vented dryer. The primary bedroom offers a peaceful, pin-drop-quiet retreat, with CitiQuiet windows (outfitted with black-out shades). The five-fixture primary bath features a large soaking tub, separate shower with Grohe fixtures, double sink vanity and medicine cabinets with integrated lighting. Custom closets and cabinetry throughout, designed by Italy’s Pianca, showcase exquisite millwork and offer excellent storage space. Other highlights include Lutron lighting, central HVAC controlled through a programmable Carrier Infinity Touch system and video intercom.

77 Mercer, constructed in 1876 by Jesse W. Powers, is a boutique six-story residential loft condominium building situated between Spring and Broome Streets. The carefully preserved facade is divided into a north and south side and is equipped with a video intercom and key-locked elevator. This cobblestoned section of Mercer Street is in SoHo’s prime Cast Iron Historic District, adjacent to some of the most famous boutiques and restaurants in Downtown Manhattan.

There is a monthly assessment of $514.17.

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.
