Description

Welcome to 153 Mercer Street in the heart of SoHo, where historic character meets loft living at its finest. Apartment 2 is a full-floor residence spanning approximately 2,200 square feet, accessed by a private elevator landing that opens directly into your home. With soaring 13'1" ceilings and new 9'1" tall landmark-approved windows, the scale and volume of this loft are nothing short of impressive.

The expansive great room overlooks Mercer Street through oversized windows that bathe the space in natural light. The proportions allow for a true living and dining setup as well as an additional alcove - highlighted by custom LED cove lighting - making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The recently renovated open kitchen is finished to an exceptionally high standard, featuring all-new white shaker cabinetry reaching toward the ceiling, dark quartz countertops, a white subway tile backsplash, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances including a French door refrigerator with ice maker, gas range, built-in microwave, and dishwasher. A dedicated wine rack, generous storage, and a peninsula with seating add both function and charm. Industrial-style pendant lights hang above the kitchen, complementing the loft's aesthetic, while terrazzo flooring grounds the space with a nod to SoHo's artistic heritage. The adjacent dining area easily accommodates a large table for hosting.

The primary suite is a private retreat with soaring ceilings, leafy western views, and a custom walk-in closet designed for generous storage. Its fully renovated en-suite bathroom is sleek and sophisticated, featuring a floating white gloss vanity with a white quartz countertop, polished chrome fixtures, a mirrored medicine cabinet with an LED vanity bar, large-format warm gray floor tile, and floor-to-ceiling white subway tile walls. A deep soaking tub with a frameless sliding glass enclosure and handheld showerhead completes this spa-caliber bath. The second bedroom is equally impressive in scale, with oversized windows that bring in natural light and highlight the loft's dramatic ceiling height. Conveniently positioned in the hallway between the living space and the bedrooms for easy guest access, the second bathroom is equally well-appointed, finished with the same white subway tile walls, gray large-format floor tile, floating white vanity with quartz countertop, polished chrome fixtures, and mirrored medicine cabinet with LED vanity bar - featuring a glass-enclosed stall shower with rainfall and handheld showerhead.

Additional highlights include refinished light hardwood floors throughout, crisp white trim, baseboards, and doors with polished chrome hardware, a dedicated laundry room with side-by-side LG washer/dryer and custom upper cabinetry, and baseboard heating paired with zoned central air. Track lighting and recessed fixtures complement the industrial loft aesthetic while modern finishes ensure comfort and style year-round.

Built in 1879 by architect Henry Martyn Congdon, 153 Mercer Street is one of SoHo's defining landmarks, embodying the district's transformation from nineteenth-century mercantile hub to global center of art, fashion, and design. With only four residences, 153 Mercer Street delivers a level of privacy and exclusivity rare in SoHo. Upgraded with Spectrum wiring, a video intercom system, and an elevator, the building combines historic detail with modern convenience. Pets are considered on a case-by-case basis. Utilities are obtained directly by the resident, allowing you to tailor your usage to suit your personal lifestyle.

Mid-block on cobblestoned Mercer between Prince and West Houston, the address lies in the heart of the SoHo Cast-Iron Historic District (designated by the Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1973). Neighbourhood icons such as the Mercer Hotel, Balthazar, Raoul's, Sadelle's and Lure Fishbar surround the block, with luxury retail (Prada, A.P.C., Celine, Chanel) steps away. Transit options abound: N R W at Prince Street, B D F M and 6 at Broadway-Lafayette/Bleecker, and C E at Spring Street. Washington Square Park, Hudson Square and Nolita are easily walkable.
