A Quintessential SoHo Artist Loft
Set Within a Historic Live/Work Building
Architectural Excellence
Nestled in the heart of SoHo's Cast-Iron Historic District, this stunning Queen Anne-style loft building blends historic grandeur with contemporary live/work functionality. Designed by Samuel A. Warner, with masonry by Masterton & Harrison, this distinguished property spans Broadway and Mercer Street.
Landmark Heritage
Once home to the legendary St. Nicholas Hotel, this location was a hallmark of luxury when it opened in 1853, during an era when New York City was emerging as a world-class metropolis, boasting commercial architecture that rivaled Paris and London. After the hotel's closure, the Snook-designed Loubat store (No. 503511) took the southern wing in 1878, while the central portion (No. 513519) became Samuel Warner's store and warehouse in 1884 before its conversion into a residential co-op in 1978.
Residence Highlights
Expansive Interiors: An exceptional open loft spanning approximately 125 feet by 40 feet, with soaring 12-foot ceilings and vast open spaces.
Alternative Layouts: Opportunity to reconfigure into a three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence, subject to co-op approval.
Light & Views: Nine oversized windows with East and South/West exposures.
Remarkably Quiet: Despite its prime SoHo location, the loft offers a serene retreat from the city's energy.
