The location couldn’t be more perfect for anyone who wants to live the downtown life, at a price–$1,595,000–that’s almost surprising given the Soho neighborhood. The one-bedroom co-op at 196 6th Avenue overlooks a leafy park within the West Soho Sullivan-Thompson Historic District. The landmarked building was built in 1893 as the 10th Precinct Police Station.
Framed by 14-foot ceilings, geometric patterned wallpaper, and sleek ebony flooring, the sophisticated main living space is highlighted by an arched sound-proofed window and a working fireplace. Built-in shelving adds a more modern architectural design.
The renovated kitchen gets the same subtle, sophisticated treatment. Floating cabinetry serves a large seating and prep island that can be a focal point for entertaining. There is a full bathroom on each of the home’s two floors.
Downstairs, the bedroom is big enough to include a lounge/office area. The lower bathroom has a step-in shower with a sleek onyx-toned frame. There is in-unit laundry on this floor as well. This level offers a second entrance to the apartment for added privacy.
Twenty-first-century additions include central A/C and controls for lighting, thermostats, and shades. There are in-ceiling speakers on each floor, and a video intercom security system offers smartphone access. There is also attic storage space within the unit.
The property overlooks Father Fagan Park for a dose of greenery on a daily basis. The pet-friendly elevator co-op building offers residents a part-time super, laundry facilities, and bike storage. Guarantors, subletting, and pied-à-terres are allowed.
