Property Description for 77 Mercer Street, 5-N

Residence 5N at 77 Mercer Street offers a unique and luxurious living experience in the heart of SoHo's historic Cast-Iron District in Downtown New York City. This two-bedroom, two-bathroom condominium loft is situated within a meticulously preserved building that dates back to 1876. The loft features a private and secure entrance through a key-locked elevator that opens directly into the home’s vestibule. The main highlight of the residence is its expansive great room, which spans almost 24 feet and boasts 11-foot ceilings, maple hardwood flooring, and charming historic elements. Natural light floods the loft through three large 7-foot windows that face the eastern sky, creating an airy and inviting ambiance. The room also includes a functional wood-burning fireplace and exposed floor-to-ceiling wooden beams that pay homage to the area's rich history. The open kitchen is a chef's dream, equipped with a vented industrial hood placed above a custom island featuring a Viking Professional gas range-top. The kitchen is adorned with white subway tile and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, including Sub-Zero and Viking Professional. A wine fridge and ample cabinetry add both style and functionality to the space. A hallway, equipped with built-in storage, leads to two spacious west-facing bedrooms filled with natural light. Both bedrooms are fitted with CitiQuiet windows to ensure tranquility. The primary suite boasts an exposed brick wall, multiple spacious closets, and a vibrant bathhouse-inspired "spa" reminiscent of SoHo’s artistic roots. This unique retreat features a double-sink vanity, a mosaic wet-room, and a vintage cast-iron clawfoot soaking tub, all illuminated by a mesmerizing chandelier. The second bedroom offers a built-in desk, exposed wooden beams, and an adjacent bathroom adorned with gray slate tile and a glass-enclosed “halo” rain shower. This residence also offers central air conditioning, in-unit laundry, a windowed bench spanning the width of the residence, art rails (for the avid collector) and well-designed built-ins and storage throughout. A private storage unit is included. 77 Mercer is a boutique residential loft condominium spanning six stories. The building's exterior has been meticulously conserved, preserving its historic charm. The structure is divided into two distinct portions, each with separate entrances equipped with video intercoms and secure key-locked elevators, ensuring residents' privacy and security. Located along the cobblestone stretch of Mercer Street, the condominium is conveniently situated near some of Manhattan's most renowned boutiques and restaurants. The area offers a quintessential SoHo experience, combining the bustling city atmosphere with serene surroundings.

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.
