Description

Perched on the fifth floor of a historic cast-iron loft building on Wooster Street between Spring and Broome, this extraordinary 5,200-square-foot artist's loft is a rare offering that embodies the authentic spirit of SoHo. Available for the first time in more than forty years, the residence presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine a true downtown classic.

Private elevator access opens directly into the expansive loft, where original architectural details and abundant natural light infuse an atmosphere of warmth and authenticity. Architecturally significant original tin ceilings, maple floors, and refined industrial elements speak to the building's late 19th century heritage and the neighborhood's storied artistic past.

Spanning the east half of the floor, the loft is framed by six oversized east-facing windows along cobblestoned Wooster Street and two additional oversized north-facing windows, filling the space with beautiful natural light throughout the day. The scale of the residence offers exceptional flexibility - a true blank canvas for the next owner to design a bespoke home tailored to their vision.

Located in the heart of prime SoHo on coveted cobblestone Wooster Street, 81 Wooster places you moments from world-class boutiques, celebrated restaurants, galleries, and multiple subway lines. More than a home, this is a piece of New York history - a timeless loft ready for its next chapter. The cooperative is pet-friendly and well-managed.
