Spotlight on Soho and Nolita's Luxe Loft Living

Downtown Manhattan is synonymous with artsy, edgy chic; and these five luxe lofts in Soho and Nolita have maximum cool factor.

104 Wooster Street, Apt. 4S — This classic 3-bedroom Soho loft has interiors by the same team that designed Barneys, and that ultra-modern flare is on display in this sprawling, dark-wood beamed space.

A key-locked, private elevator opens into the great room, which features charcoal stained LV flooring, 12’ dark wood beamed ceilings and columns, and a white marble wood-burning fireplace. A chandeliered dining room is adjacent to a custom-designed eat-in kitchen with Thermador stainless steel appliances, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Miele dishwasher. A custom-finished wine fridge enhances the kitchen’s sophistication. The media room features an exposed brick wall, and the master bedroom has three oversized closets, including a custom designed walk-in. The ensuite master bath has a dual basin vanity, a spa shower with dual rain showerheads, and a deep soaking tub. The loft has central air and is outfitted with a state of the art audio and automation system.

Amenities at this classic prewar loft building include doorman and concierge and private storage.
