56 Crosby Street, 3 A

Residence 3A at 56 Crosby Street is a truly exceptional loft in the heart of Soho. Spanning 3,614 sqft, the home is defined by soaring 14-foot ceilings, incredible brick arches, low monthlies, and a unique offering of a 24/7 doorman. Currently configured as a 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath home, it offers the flexibility to seamlessly convert into a 3-bedroom residence.

The interiors seamlessly blend original architectural elements with refined, modern amenities. The cavernous 34’ x 42’ Great Room is framed by 120 feet of exposed brick arches, grand Corinthian columns, and 4 enormous West-facing windows that flood the space with natural light. A wood-burning fireplace - very rare for a loft style home - is both a focal point and a phenomenal addition for chilly NYC evenings.

The Boffi kitchen is both functional and well proportioned, featuring premium appliances and custom finishes. The king-sized primary suite offers two oversized windows facing East and South, and is complete with a sculptural walk-in closet and spa-like bath. A spacious secondary bedroom with en-suite bath, along with a powder room, dedicated laundry room, two-zone central air, and integrated AV system, complete the home.

Steeped in history and creative legacy, this celebrated space has been featured in leading design publications and has served as an inspiring hub for world-renowned designers, artists, and even Michelin-starred chef Michel Bras. Its striking interior was also immortalized on screen in The Devil Wears Prada as the SoHo residence of fictional fashion designer, James Holt.

56 Crosby is an intimate, nine-unit boutique condominium with a 24-hour doorman. Originally built in 1882, the building offers the prewar charm of a bygone era, with all the modern conveniences. With just two residences per floor, this bespoke home offers exceptional privacy on one of SoHo’s most charming cobblestone streets.

Even if you’ve somehow never heard of the illustrious SoHo, you’ll always know where to find it — and never confuse it with London’s lower-case Soho. As with most things relating to New York City, everyone has an opinion, and SoHo’s east-west boundaries are no different. However, it indisputably sits in Lower Manhattan, north of Canal Street, and, of course, south of Houston. Architecturally, the neighborhood is a time capsule, defined mainly by buildings with decorative cast-iron facades. These 500-some structures date from the mid-to-late 19th century, when cast iron experienced an Industrial Revolution-era popularity surge due to its strength, fire resistance, and cheap costs relative to other materials. All are contained today in the succinctly named SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District. Presently, SoHo is always alive with people, whether residents living in spacious lofts or visitors drawn by the second-to-none shopping and restaurant options.
