Property Description for 47-49 King Street, 2

Opportunity Knocks!

Don't miss this never before available duplex one-bedroom apartment at 47-49 King Street, a coop comprised of three handsome Federal-style townhouses in the Charlton-King-Vandam Historic District. Built in 1838 and featuring a lush private common courtyard, this pet-friendly cooperative blends historic allure with modern convenience, offering a rare opportunity to live on one of NYC's most picturesque, tree-lined blocks bordering Hudson Square, Soho, and Greenwich Village.

This apartment exudes old world charm, featuring soaring high ceilings, original 10-inch wide-plank hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, and two (!) wood-burning fireplaces. Enjoy an in-unit washer/dryer, the ultimate NYC convenience.

The first floor living room/dining room is spacious, with plenty of room for a dining area, ample living room furniture, and a separate office nook. In addition to a wood-burning fireplace, there is also a window that leads to a balcony that overlooks the beautiful common garden. The kitchen appliances include a dishwasher. The lower level bedroom features a second fireplace, a large walk-in closet, a bathroom with a washer/dryer, and plenty of room for a king-sized bed and a separate office space. There is an additional entrance from this level to the courtyard.

The common courtyard features lush landscaping, vine-covered brick walls, inviting seating areas and a barbecue grill - a true oasis in the heart of the city! Arguably one of the prettiest courtyards in the entire city, it is a tranquil place to relax - you will feel as if you were transported in time and place to Europe at the turn of the last century!

47-49 King Street is an intimate, self-managed and well-run cooperative. Each apartment has its own large storage unit, and there is bike storage, a laundry facility, and a part-time superintendent. This small community of owners share respect for each other and their spaces, exemplifying the essence
of a coop in its intended form.

This prime village location offers the intimacy of a historic residential neighborhood along with next-door access to the city's best shopping, dining, nightlife, galleries and museums. Major companies like Google and Disney are nearby, reflecting the area's growing tech and media hub. Trader Joe's is just 3 blocks away, and the #1, A/C/E, B/D/F/M, R/W trains, and a Citi Bike station are all nearby.

Not only is this a rare opportunity to be part of a very special village community, it is also the first resale of this apartment since the coop was formed in 1973 - it awaits your vision to be restored and updated to a level it so clearly deserves!

Financing allowed: 75% Co-purchasing is allowed, but gifting, parents buying for children, and pieds-a-terre are not.

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.
