Property Description for 561 Broadway, PH-BC

88 Prince Street. Perched high atop the famed Singer Building sits this immaculate, trophy, one-of-a-kind penthouse loft above the iconic streets of SoHo. This mint-condition 4-bedroom home is comprised of 4,500 interior square feet with over 1,300 square feet of private outdoor space with picturesque views of Manhattan. Designed by world-renowned architect Mark Foster Gage, this residence was meticulously designed, focusing on every slight detail, and crafted with luxury finishes. When designed, it was important to keep the historical features inherent to the building and incorporate a modern touch to create this perfect blend throughout the home. This entire top-floor loft is all seamlessly connected to create the ultimate entertaining space with multiple lounging and dining areas sitting on the most lavish wide-plank white-washed solid German Douglas Fir floors, further accentuating the volume of the space. Upon entering through your private, key-locked elevator opening up directly into this penthouse, you are immediately dazzled by the open feel and amount of natural sunlight drenching the home through its 22 oversized windows with four exposures and four skylights. The entire north-facing wall in your living room has the most beautiful landmarked floor-to-ceiling doors/windows overlooking Prince Street and beyond; including three Juliette balconies to truly capture the indoor/outdoor feel of the home. As you seamlessly transition from your living room passing your windowed dining area with its own skylight, you arrive at the center of your great room to this work-of-art sculptural open kitchen, complete with a top-of-the-line Miele appliance package and storage seamlessly hidden by the custom made Corian cabinetry including this stand-out custom sculpted and robotically cut, 20 foot long, Corian island. Adjacent to your kitchen is an additional architectural one-of-a-kind masterpiece that leads up to the private rooftop. This one-piece polished, stainless steel floating staircase finished with the most intricate brushstroke-like cutouts on each step is sure to amaze anyone who gazes upon it. As you ascend these custom stairs, the sky reflects off the stainless steel steps by a large skylight directly above, creating this illuminating glow that’s truly spectacular. Once atop your private roof deck, you have a full outdoor kitchen, complete with a BBQ gas grill, sink, waterproof storage bins, and the most inspiring views of SoHo and beyond. Heading back downstairs, towards the rear of the great room, you pass through an additional lounge area currently set up as a movie room with a built-in projector that descends from being hidden in the ceiling. A powder room is conveniently sitting adjacent to this room for convenience, and it boasts stunning Moroccan tiles, Duravit fixtures, a custom Corian sink, and a custom inlaid and robotically-carved polished stainless steel mirror. This rear area leads to all four generously-sized bedrooms. The master suite is a beauty of its own, with laser-cut grooved wide-planked walnut floors, enormous walk-in his/her closets with custom shelving and storage, and includes mirror-backed shoe racks, and a vanity make-up table with Hollywood-styled circle bulbs, large mirrored pocket doors, and a perfectly positioned skylight. The primary bathroom is an ultimate spa-like oasis with Nero Marquina radiant heated floors, a beautiful white custom Corian double vanity with large mirrors, large slabbed Nero Marquina marble floors, Dornbracht fixtures in the steam shower and a Duravit soaking tub with another skylight directly above that adds to the luxurious vibe. The other three bedrooms, two of which are currently set up as offices, are spectacular on their own. One of the bedrooms showcases huge south and west-facing windows with a custom built-in storage wall. The other bedroom has its own en-suite full bathroom and private entrance, ideal for guests who come and go as they please. The fourth bedroom features resin-treated, wide plank real hardwood black walnut floors and western light pouring in; doubling as an office since it has its own private entrance to the Broadway side of the building and can be closed off from the rest of the home- a truly unique feature in a downtown Soho loft. Some noteworthy highlights that add to the functionality of this grand home include high ceilings, custom nine-foot doors, wood-burning fireplace, Corian window sills, custom double-paned windows, Lutron lighting, electronic blinds, and shades and hidden motorized curtains, a full laundry room with side-by-side Miele washer/dryer, Corian counters, utility sink and storage, filtered water, humidity control, hidden hinges, motorized skylights, radiant heated floors throughout, exposed and original industrial steel scissor columns, proportional art walls, automated closeted lighting, and custom hardware to gallery-quality lighting throughout. 3% flip tax.

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.
