Property Description for 259 Bowery, 2-FLR

This turn-of-the-century full floor loft designed by West Chin Architects is a must-see. The condominium 2BR/2BA home located at 259 Bowery, next to the New Museum, is an effortless blend of style and function. This exceptional loft offers a tremendous volume of space at over 2250 interior square feet with soaring 11.5’ ceilings and a 100+sf private terrace. Modern yet timeless, the property has been thoughtfully crafted with a diversity and richness of material, color, and textures with no detail overlooked. All of this located in a fantastic downtown location where Nolita, SoHo/NoHo, and Lower East Side all converge, offering the best of some of Manhattan’s most dynamic and hip neighborhoods. The expansive space, measuring nearly 100 linear feet front to back, is accessed via private keyed elevator opening directly into the property. At the front of the loft is a bright and airy living/dining area with three oversized west-facing CitiQuiet windows, built-in bench seating, a white marble wood-burning fireplace, and a wonderful architectural element of Aspen wood arched canopy spanning the room. Just off the living room is an open Poggenpohl chef’s kitchen with a large central island, vented Viking appliances, Subzero refrigerator, dishwasher, granite countertops, pendant drop lighting, as well as abundant and thoughtful storage. Separating the two sides of the loft in the heart of the space is a warm and welcoming den/media room with a beautiful custom millwork media wall, built-in speakers and Crestron A/V system. Just off the den is the first full bath, built as an integrated wet room shower with mosaic tile floor, glass walls, and brushed steel finishes. The bedroom wing at the east side of the loft is subtle, serene and quiet with both the king-sized master and secondary bedroom each having access to the 100+sf private terrace. Both of the bedrooms have exposed brick walls, custom built-in storage and shelving in a beautiful Macassar Ebony wood, and oversized East Facing windows and/or double doors. The bedrooms share a fully outfitted pass through walk-in closet with floor to ceiling custom designed storage. Both bedrooms also access the impressive primary bath with Duravit fixtures, radiant floor heating, a freestanding soaking tub, separate spa rain shower, and a Carrara marble double sink vanity. There are hardwood floors throughout the home as well as generous closets and plentiful custom built-in millwork offering efficient and concealed storage. The property also features a Lutron lighting system, washer-dryer in unit, central air conditioning, and a private storage room. 259 Bowery is a boutique five unit condominium loft building with a visiting super. With easy access to transportation, including two nearby subway lines, and situated amongst the best dining, shopping, art galleries and museums, this property is a piece of art itself not to be missed.

Lower East Side | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Bursting with energy at every turn, the Lower East Side is one of the most historic neighborhoods in all of Manhattan. Rooted in immigrant history, the bulk of European and Eastern European migration that occurred in the late nineteenth through the early twentieth century took place here, where the Tenement Museum remains one of the best ways to become acquainted with how early residents of the neighborhood lived.

The unique and eclectic mix of building styles--ranging from low- and high-rises to luxury and historic buildings--begins immediately upon entering the area via the Manhattan or Brooklyn Bridge, known as Two Bridges, itself a neighborhood that has also long been known for its immigrant population. With its historic district placed in the National Register of Historic Places, many of its oldest churches, such as Mariners Temple and St. James Church remain a preserved part of the district’s storied past. 

While the LES has long been a hub for aspiring musicians and artists, the area has increasingly transformed its demographic as it welcomes a more affluent sect of residents with the advent of condos and luxury spaces.
