Property Description for 225 Lafayette Street, 10-A

Perfectly placed on a high-floor southwest corner at 225 Lafayette Street (cross street is Spring) in the vibrant heart of Nolita, this spacious, sun-flooded, and serene 1,735-square-foot two bedroom (convertible to three bedroom)/three bathroom pre-war loft condominium is flooded with an abundance of natural daylight and spectacular evening sunsets. Offering open panoramic southwest views over Soho through ten oversized picture windows that frame dramatic downtown views including many historic buildings, this former bank building was converted into 40 loft residences in 2004 and designed by star architects Calvin Tsao and Zack McKown.

The expansive layout begins with a grand entrance foyer, anchored by ample closet space, a laundry room with vented washer-dryer, and a full bathroom with steam shower. The open corner living-dining-den area has private media and/or guest room nook and kitchen area measuring a total of 27' by 27'. The semi-open kitchen, with oversized pantry closet added, is outfitted with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and top-tier appliances, including a 36" Viking Professional Series range with a vented hood, a Bosch dishwasher, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. The floors are wide-plank Brazilian hardwood in impeccable condition. The residence is pin-drop quiet with double pane windows and extra soundproofing by Citiquiet windows. The generously proportioned primary suite is a luxurious retreat, featuring an en-suite bath with separate steam shower and bath as well as multiple large and walk-in closets all customized for maximum storage and efficiency. The second bedroom, also with its own en-suite bath and ample closets, offers comfort and privacy. The three bathrooms, epitomizing style and function, are appointed with marble finishes and fixtures from Toto and Kohler.

225 Lafayette Street, originally designed by the celebrated architect Cass Gilbert in 1927 as the East River Savings Bank building, is an example of architectural excellence. Gilbert's other masterpieces include the Woolworth Building, the New York Life Insurance Building, and the U.S. Supreme Court Building. Residents enjoy access to premier amenities, including a full-time doorman/concierge, an on-site resident manager, a meticulously landscaped roof garden, and private storage. The building is surrounded by the vibrant neighborhoods of Nolita, Soho and filled with some of the city's finest dining establishments, boutiques, art galleries, and architectural landmarks.

Little Italy | Manhattan

Quick Profile

It’s fitting that the neighborhood’s name is Little Italy because It’s been getting smaller for decades. The Italian immigrants that flooded New York City and built the vibrant ethnic enclave in the 1860s and 1880s eventually left for greener pastures, assimilating into other parts of the city or suburbs. The disappearance of Little Italy is a sad story as far as neighborhoods go, but it’s one that should be told. 

Little Italy once spanned 50 square blocks and represented the biggest population of Italian immigrants in America. But in recent years, it’s been squeezed by the growth of Chinatown and SoHo and muscled from the rebranding of other neighborhoods like NoHo and NoLIta. In fact, NoLita was the culprit that cut the neighborhood in two. Little Italy’s boundaries may vary depending upon who you ask. Today it’s down to just a few blocks along Mulberry Street. 

One of the best ways to experience Little Italy is through its food. Take your pick from mom-and-pop markets, meat and cheese shops, or authentic sit-down restaurants that offer the very best in Italian cuisine. 

Every September (since 1926), the neighborhood hosts the Feast of San Gennaro, which celebrates the patron Saint of Naples Italy. 11 days of food, colorful parades, music performances, and more food. The aroma of zeppole and grilled sausage can be smelt for blocks. Try planning your visit around this festive time. It’s well worth it.
