195 Bowery #5-W

At the intersection of Soho, Nolita, Greenwich Village, the East Village, and the Lower East Side is the Bowery. Manhattan's oldest street has hints of its surrounding neighborhoods, but a character that is uniquely its own. If you think you know the Bowery, it's time for you to revisit it. Dotted with landmarked buildings, dating back to the 1700s, it is also home to a vibrant art and music scene, as well as new developments with sky high price tags. There is even a Whole Foods at the corner of Bowery and East Houston. In this unique and special location, we are offering for resale for the first time by its original owner 195 Bowery, Apartment 5W. This is an approximately 900 square foot, half-floor, custom condo loft with soaring 10'7' ceiling heights, hardwood floors, and western and southern exposures. The elevated, king-size sleeping area is defined by 19th century decorative English iron balustrades. The chef's kitchen comes replete with a Viking 6-burner restaurant stove and oven, a Subzero refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher. The large living/dining room is perfect for entertaining with enough space to accommodate a dining table that could easily seat 8-10 guests; and with its western exposure, sunset views are glorious. Freedom Tower can be viewed from the south-facing window. The oversized windowed Spa-Like bathroom features a two-person extra-deep soaking tub and a Miele Washer and Dryer. There is an abundance of storage spaces throughout the apartment, including 4 double-hung closets, shelf storage behind decorative mirrored doors, and a storage crawl space below the bedroom loft. In addition, a storage unit, 5'x3'x9', in the basement of the building is included with the apartment. The original building, a former gaslight factory constructed at the turn of the 20th Century, was converted to condominiums in 2004 with the addition of 11 floors. The building has video security, a key locked elevator, a part-time super, a bicycle rack, and low monthly common charges. Like any truly unique space, this apartment needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated. Contact us today for your appointment to visit 195 Bowery, 5W. First Open House 4/24 SUN 2-4PM.
