KEYED-ELEVATOR ENTRY, TEN-FOOT CEILINGS, AND EXPOSED BRICK IN EVERY ROOM
SUN-FILLED VIEWS OVER NOHO AND BOWERY, WATER TANKS, AND THE CHRYSLER BUILDING RISING BEHIND
Residence 4 at 344 Bowery is a full-floor, two bedroom, two bathroom condominium loft in a prewar building in NoHo. Built in 1893 and converted in 2006, the home measures approximately 1,777 square feet, with roughly ten-foot ceilings, wide-plank oak flooring, and exposed brick in nearly every room.
A keyed-elevator opens into the residence, with a lockable front door at the landing, the classic full-floor loft arrangement.
The living and dining room runs along the northeastern front of the home, overlooking Bowery and Great Jones Street. Four oversized windows, each approximately four and a half feet wide and seven and a half feet tall, set into original wood-beam supports, bring in steady morning light. The Chrysler Building is framed in the dining room window, and the Bowery Hotel sits in view across the street.
The windowed kitchen boasts a mix of white lacquer and wood cabinetry, stainless steel hardware, a tiled backsplash, and a dual sink with disposal. Appliances include a Viking range with four burners, a griddle, and a convection oven, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Bosch dishwasher, and a Marvel wine refrigerator. A vented range hood serves the cooktop.
Storage is a defining feature of the home. Off the kitchen are a glassware and spirits pantry, a dry goods pantry, a baker's pantry, a cleaning closet, and pull-out overhead cabinetry, along with a full laundry and utility room with a side-by-side washer and dryer, cabinet storage, and an adjoining mechanical room.
Both bedrooms sit at the rear of the home. The secondary bedroom, currently used as a home office, looks north up the Bowery. It includes a built-in closet, exposed brick, and a Haiku ceiling fan. The primary bedroom faces southwest, with afternoon light, exposed brick, oversized windows with blackout shades, and a second Haiku fan. A walk-through custom closet with a sitting area and a built-in laundry drawer connects the bedroom to the bath.
The five-fixture primary bath features a dual stone-top vanity, soaking tub, and a separate shower all appointed with Axor fixtures. The second bath holds a tiled soaking tub, and stone-top vanity, with wood cabinetry matching the finishes in the primary bath. Both baths have recessed, dimmable lighting.
Additional features include central heat and air on a Honeywell system, recessed lighting throughout, and low monthly common charges of $1,380, a rare carrying cost for a full-floor home of this size. There is also a private, locked storage room in the basement which conveys with the residence along with a Butterfly video entry system.
344 Bowery is a boutique prewar condominium consisting of five residences and a ground-floor commercial space (occupied by The Wren) across seven stories, built in 1893 and converted in 2006. Its discreet presence on the Bowery reflects the scale and character of NoHo, set among the galleries, design showrooms, and the New Museum that define this stretch of downtown.
Located at the crossroads of NoHo, the Bowery, and the East Village, the residence is close to some of downtown's best restaurants, galleries, and shopping. The 6 at Bleecker Street and the B, D, F, and M at Broadway-Lafayette are nearby, with SoHo, the West Village, and Tribeca all within easy reach.
Taxes shown reflect the most recent quarterly tax bill and INCLUDES the Cooperative and Condominium Property Tax Abatement under Section 467-a of the New York Real Property Tax Law, which provides a partial property tax reduction for eligible co-op and condo owners who occupy their unit as a primary residence.
Quick Profile
NoHo, an acronym for North of Houston, is a trendy neighborhood with expansive lofts, chic shops, and hip eateries. It was once part of Greenwich Village, but as New York City changes and coolness always redefines itself, the neighborhood, which is more like a small nook, has morphed into a happening secession of its own.
Like many New York City neighborhoods, the boundaries are subjective and the exact location always depends on who you ask. Generally, NoHo is understood to be bounded by East Eighth Street to the north, East Houston Street to the south, Bowery Street to the east (which becomes Cooper Square north of East Fourth Street), and Broadway to the west.
It’s hard to believe that NoHo was once a sketchy no-man’s land with more than its share of dilapidated structures. These gentrified days, it’s a healthy mix of older buildings, renovated warehouses and newer construction by iconic architects. For such a small area, NoHo has three historic districts that cover much of the neighborhood.
Broadway, Bowery, and Lafayette is the business district of the neighborhood. You’ll find it all in this neck of the woods. From trendy one of a kind retailers to popular brand stores. It rivals its SoHo neighbor in places to shop.
Architecture buffs get your walking shoes on. There are many historical and modern buildings throughout the neighborhood. Colonnade Row, the Cable Building, and the Schermerhorn Building are just a few of the many notable buildings you’ll find.
