About This Home

BACK ON MARKET! Deal fell thru!! Discover the perfect blend of historic charm and modern sophistication at 196 6th Avenue, Apartment #1A, located in the heart of SoHo. This unique one-bedroom duplex is housed in a landmark building originally constructed in 1893 as the 10th Precinct Police Station and converted to a co-op a century later. Upon entering, you are immediately amazed by the 14'2"-foot ceilings and the dramatic light fixture that highlights the historic arched and oversized window which provides an abundance of natural light. The working fireplace, complemented by a floor-to-ceiling modern mantel, creates a dramatic sense of style. The open-concept layout seamlessly integrates everyday living with grand entertaining. The kitchen, recently renovated with sleek modern finishes, can either be the focal point or a subtle backdrop to the living room, which features black hardwood floors and geometric patterned wallpaper. The duplex design offers a full bathroom on each level. The bedroom level boasts impressive 9' ceilings and two tall windows that fills the space with natural light. The bedroom also includes a spacious lounge area, two generously sized closets, and the utmost privacy. Recent upgrades include Savant and Lutron controls for lighting, thermostats, shades, audio/video with ceiling speakers on each floor, and an upgraded video intercom with smartphone access. The apartment also features central AC, attic storage space within the apartment, and in-unit laundry on the bedroom level. You will also find a second entrance to the apartment on this level. Soundproofing has been added to windows, both doors leading to the hallways and the central AC system. The font window also has a protective film that keeps the apartment comfortable in the summer when the southern sun is strong. Located in West SoHo's Sullivan-Thompson Historic District, the property overlooks the serene Father Fagan Park. Step outside and immerse yourself in the vibrant energy of Downtown Manhattan. World-class restaurants, boutique shopping, and cultural venues. Multiple subway stations, A/C/E, 1, and B/D/F/M, are close by to offer unparalleled convenience. The building features a part time super, elevator, laundry facilities, and bike storage in a well-maintained, pet-friendly co-op. Guarantors, subletting, and pied-à-terre allowed.
