A large foyer flanked by roomy closets and a convenient guest bathroom welcomes you into this bright and airy home filled with tall ceilings and oversized windows. At over 21 feet long, the sprawling living/dining room provides a generous footprint for relaxing and entertaining surrounded by western treetop views and a warm working wood-burning fireplace. The adjacent kitchen features rows of cabinetry, long granite countertops, and full-sized stainless steel appliances, including a gas range, French door refrigerator, dishwasher, and built-in microwave.

The roomy walk-in closet attends to wardrobe needs, while the en suite bathroom impresses with a jetted tub/shower and linen closet. A spacious secondary bedroom and an in-unit washer-dryer complete this wonderful SoHo sanctuary. Located within the Sullivan-Thompson Historic District, 196 6th Avenue was originally constructed in 1893 as the 10th Precinct Police Station.
