From the moment you step into Apartment 11A at 225 Lafayette Street, it's clear this is not your average downtown home. Perched high above the heart of SoHo, this corner two-bedroom, three-bathroom loft spans an impressive 1,735 square feet and offers a front-row seat to some of Manhattan’s most storied views.
With its dramatic southwest exposure, walls of oversized windows flood the space with light from sunrise to sunset.
Anchored by a proper foyer—a rarity in most loft conversions—the home opens into a breathtaking 27-by-27-foot living and dining area. It’s an entertainer’s dream: airy, expansive, and framed by the kind of cinematic views.
The western exposure means sunset is a nightly event, casting a warm glow over Brazilian wide-plank hardwood floors that run seamlessly throughout the apartment.
The open kitchen is a sleek and functional centerpiece, outfitted with custom Varenna Poliform cabinetry and durable Caesarstone countertops.
Each of the three full bathrooms is finished in timeless marble, with elegant fixtures by Kohler and Toto, offering a spa-like experience no matter the time of day. And while the primary suite offers peace and privacy, every room shares in the home’s sweeping views and serene light, making it feel both luxurious and livable.
Originally built in 1927 by Cass Gilbert—the visionary architect behind the Woolworth Building and the U.S. Supreme Court—225 Lafayette Street is a landmark in its own right. Once home to the East River Savings Bank, the building was masterfully converted in 2004 into a boutique condominium of just 40 residences.
Set at the crossroads of SoHo, Nolita, and Little Italy, this address places you at the center of downtown’s cultural heartbeat. Galleries, designer boutiques, destination dining, and world-class architecture surround you—making Apartment 11A not just a home, but a slice of New York history.
