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.
Head to the extra-large primary suite to discover a king-size bedroom with sunset views and plenty of room for additional furnishings, a home office or a fitness area. 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. Largely demolished and reimagined for cooperative use in 1987, the boutique building offers laundry facilities and a bike room. Pets, co-purchasing, and subletting are allowed with board approval.
Set away from the avenue behind updated Father Fagan Park, this SoHo home is flanked by the Village and Hudson Square, providing direct access to the city’s best tech and media headquarters, shopping, and dining, including Trader Joe’s, The Dutch, Dominique Ansel Bakery, Sugarfish, Google and Disney all right outside your door. Minutes away, Hudson River Park provides 500 acres of waterfront outdoor space and recreation. Access to transportation is unbeatable thanks to C/E, 1, N/R/W and B/D/F/M trains, excellent bus service and CitiBike stations all nearby.
