Property Description for 9 Vandam Street

A one-of-a-kind opportunity awaits at 9 Vandam Street, a turn-of-the-century single-family townhome nestled in one of the most desirable locations in Manhattan. The Hudson River Greenway, Greenwich Village, SoHo, Nolita, Tribeca, and exciting dining, nightlife, and shopping options are moments away. THE DREAM OPPORTUNITY Create the historic townhome of your dreams with this special 19th Century property that is being made available amid a top-to-bottom gut renovation with all major structural elements already completed along with active DOB permits and landmark approvals. New electrical, plumbing, and framing are already in place, giving new owners the flexibility to customize fixtures, finishes, and landscaping or save time and costs by picking up where the previous renovation left off. Though the developers are choosing to sell as is, they have already purchased high-end appliances, sleek marble slabs, beautiful tiles, chic fixtures, and more that are available to the owner if desired. Current plans allow for 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 1 powder room, and three outdoor spaces including a stunning backyard and two large upper-level terraces. THE HOME On the GARDEN LEVEL would be a full guest suite and an open-plan family room with elevator access and a banquet breakfast area and kitchen with a gas fireplace that flows out to a backyard with an outdoor kitchen, hot tub, decking, and space for dining and lounging. The PARLOR LEVEL would have a welcoming foyer and gallery with an elevator, a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom that can also be used as a library or office, and an expansive dining and great room with a gas fireplace, wet bar, and steps leading down to the backyard. The SECOND LEVEL would be accessible by elevator and contain a luxurious primary suite with a king-size bedroom chamber, a lavish spa bathroom, a quiet study, and an expansive terrace perfect for sun lounging, gardening, outdoor yoga, and more. The THIRD LEVEL would be ideal for one large bedroom or two smaller bedrooms with access to another terrace and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The CELLAR has space for a laundry room, powder room, wine cellar, and recreation room with skylights that can be used as a home gym, play area, den, cinema room, and more. THE NEIGHBORHOOD 9 Vandam Street is located at the nexus of Hudson Square, Greenwich Village, and SoHo. It is surrounded by dozens of trendy restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops, including Shuka, Dominique Ansel Bakery, Boqueria, Blue Ribbon Sushi, the original Joes Pizza, and Cipriani Downtown.

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.
