A massive keyed elevator - large enough to accommodate virtually any piece of furniture - opens directly into your private entrance. The home has been thoughtfully modernized while preserving its original details and charm, including exposed brick walls, wood and metal beams and columns, and 9-foot ceilings. Every room - including the bathrooms and closets - is generously proportioned and thoughtfully renovated.
Anchored by a long stone island with seating, the chef's kitchen offers extensive custom wood and glass cabinetry, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and 50 bottle wine fridge, a Thermador oven with 4-burner gas range and griddle, externally vented hood, Thermador dishwasher, Viking convection microwave wall oven, and a built-in Miele espresso machine. Two oversized pantries provide exceptional storage. Three large west-facing windows flood the space with afternoon light, and a full-sized, externally vented gas LG W/D is discreetly tucked behind a closet.
Both windowed bathrooms are expansive and appointed with custom storage, marble floors, Bisazza mosaic tile, Dornbracht fixtures and Philippe Starck Duravit toilets. The en-suite bathroom offers a dramatic glass-enclosed shower with dual rain showerheads and Bisazza glass walls. The second bathroom includes a glass-enclosed rain shower and a deep Kohler Tea-for-Two soaking tub.
A 26+ foot gallery with beautifully maintained exposed brick provides the perfect backdrop for showcasing art. With two sets of double-paned windows, the apartment remains remarkably serene and pin-drop quiet. Additional features include wide-plank hardwood floors, two-zone central air conditioning, abundant custom closets (including oversized walk-ins), and an ADT alarm system.
Perfectly positioned, the building is moments from premier dining and shopping, down the block from Trader Joe's and CVS, directly across from the C and E trains, and just a few blocks from the 1, R, and W lines.
210 Spring Street owns its retail space, keeping maintenance exceptionally low, with a projected 50% decrease in approximately 18 months when the retail rent increases. This flexible 5-unit co-op allows unrestricted subletting with board approval (although an investment-only purchaser likely would not be approved). Guarantors, gifting, co-purchasing, and parents buying for children are permitted on a case-by-case basis. Professionally managed with a part-time superintendent. Gas included in maintenance. Pets welcome. Sorry, no pieds-a-terre.
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.
