About This Property
Situated at the intersection of SoHo, and Nolita Residence 5C is a gracious corner home offering two bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms and approximately 1,498 square feet of sophisticated downtown living.
Coveted for its exceptional functionality, the C-line is distinguished by an intuitive flow and remarkably efficient allocation of space. A generous entry foyer with a discreetly positioned powder room and substantial storage introduces an expansive Living and Dining room framed by articulated beamed ceilings, oversized picture windows and abundant natural light. Brazilian walnut floors lend warmth and character throughout the residence.
Open to the Entertaining space, the sleek white kitchen by Varenna Poliform features lacquered cabinetry, granite countertops and a premium appliance suite by Sub-Zero, Miele and Bosch, including a vented cooktop hood.
Privately situated from the main living area, the oversized Primary Suite offers a substantial walk-in closet and a spa-like en-suite bathroom clad in Carrara marble, with Dornbracht and Kohler fixtures, a deep soaking tub, separate shower and enclosed water closet. The well-proportioned Second Bedroom also features its own en-suite marble bathroom. An additional walk-in closet and washer and dryer complete this thoughtfully composed home.
Designed by celebrated architect Cass Gilbert, 225 Lafayette Street is an intimate, 41-residence Beaux-Arts condominium and former bank building. Residents enjoy 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a full-time superintendent and a landscaped common roof deck with sweeping open views. The exceptional location places Balthazar, Sant Ambroeus and Jack’s Wife Freda nearby, along with renowned shopping, galleries, nightlife and convenient transportation throughout downtown.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
Beamed ceilings frame the living and dining room in 5C, and the listing describes oversized picture windows that bring in plenty of natural light. Brazilian walnut floors run through the residence, adding warmth to the 1,498 square feet. The corner position is worth noting, because a corner unit often gets more exposure and a more varied outlook, though how much light and view you get depends on orientation and the buildings around it.
The kitchen is a Varenna Poliform design with lacquered cabinetry and granite countertops, and it's fitted with Sub-Zero, Miele and Bosch appliances, including a vented cooktop hood. It opens to the entertaining space, so cooking and hosting share one room.
The primary suite sits apart from the main living area, which gives it real separation. It has a substantial walk-in closet and an en-suite bath with Carrara marble, Dornbracht and Kohler fixtures, a deep soaking tub, a separate shower and an enclosed water closet. The second bedroom has its own en-suite marble bathroom, and there's an additional walk-in closet. A washer and dryer are in the apartment, which is a real everyday convenience in New York.
225 Lafayette Street is a 41-residence Beaux-Arts condominium designed by Cass Gilbert, and it was once a bank building. Residents have 24-hour doorman and concierge service and a full-time superintendent, and a landscaped common roof deck. A doorman adds convenience for deliveries and guests, and there's an elevator. Cats and dogs are allowed, up to two pets per unit.
Spring Street on the 6 train is about 1 minute on foot, and Broadway-Lafayette Street is about 6 minutes. Genkiya Mart is about 1 minute away, and Sara D. Roosevelt Park is about 7 minutes on foot.
