The 9th floor at 491 Broadway is a classic, full-floor SoHo loft, available for the first time in nearly half a century, offering a genuinely rare opportunity for the discerning buyer. Enter the loft into the grand and expansive living space with its 11.5 foot barrel-vaulted ceilings and bask in the light from the 4 large windows facing East over Broadway with stunning views over the rooftops of lower Manhattan. There is abundant space here, but the vibe is welcoming, not cavernous; turn toward the back of the loft and be drawn visually down the nearly 110-foot unobstructed sightline of this truly unique home.

Continue along the original Southern Yellow Pine floors whose rich patina bears witness to a century of stories in SoHo. On the way is the dining area, which can accommodate a very large dining table. Beyond the dining area is the custom kitchen, incorporating a sleek wall of cabinetry, a Miele wall oven, a Liebherr fridge with two lower freezer drawers, and a massive and practical island with Viking cooktop and vented Viking exhaust hood. This true chef's kitchen features voluminous storage and gorgeous black Italian granite countertops. Across from the kitchen is the Office/Studio, a large (500 SF) windowed (2 exposures) utility space that offers the opportunity to create a formal dining room, very large den or lounge, or 2 additional bedrooms.

Further down the light-filled hallway, illuminated by South facing windows, are the secondary bedrooms; the full-sized bath for these two bedrooms is at the end of the hall, beyond the laundry closet with stacked Bosch washer and dryer. The bedrooms boast open, expansive views North and numerous handcrafted touches, such as folding desks and incorporated shelves, and custom-built storage in the closets. The windowed secondary bathroom features a lovely walk-in shower with niche and frameless glass door, Hansgrohe fixtures and Geberit sink and Duravit wall hung toilet.

At the end of the hall, turn left to enter the spacious master suite; on your right is the windowed dressing area, just outside the master bath. The windowed master bath features a large walk-in, glass-enclosed shower, Duravit wall hung toilet and Geberit sink with Hansgrohe fixtures. The master bedroom is separated from the dressing area by an enormous free-standing custom-built bureau. The South facing windows over Broome Street flood the space with light. The proportions of the master suite are wonderful, providing a generous space for a king size bed, and a distinct and separate seating area with beautiful built-in shelving with bent-wood accents, and a wood and aluminum lighting fixture illuminating the space.
