Rare opportunity to purchase a classic Soho loft. This top floor with 2/3's roof ownership extends a full city block with three exposures and skylights throughout. 47 Howard/305 Canal is an Italianate store and loft building in the Soho Cast Iron Historic District constructed in 1863. Converted into an artist's live/work building in the 70's, the architecture continues to reflect that history. Spaces as open and light filled as 47 Howard Street # 5 are now very hard to find. The windows face North , South and East with a beautiful city view of Tribeca on Canal St. and a stunning Civil War era white marble landmarked building on Howard. Six skylights provide natural light throughout this clean, bright and expansive space. The open kitchen has a chef's grade stovetop range, a Fisher Paykel refrigerator, a grand center island for food prep and dining and an oversized stainless steel sink. Exposed brick offers contrast and warmth to the kitchen/dining space. Ceiling height ranging from 10'-20' high and wide plank hardwood floors throughout reflect everything there is to love about loft living. The cooperative also owns the ground floor retail space and basement and so all shareholders profit from the rental income of storefront property facing both Canal and Howard Streets; income which more than covers monthly maintenance dues.
Can be used as a private residence with an open layout or as an artist's live/work space. Private showings available upon request.
