From the original listing · ZillowShow

Welcome to 196 6th Avenue, Apartment 1A, a sophisticated duplex offering a rare layout with two full bathrooms in the heart of the Sullivan-Thompson Historic District. Experience the energy of SoHo, where cobblestone streets meet iconic cast-iron architecture.

Step inside to a dramatic 14-foot great room featuring a massive south-facing arched window overlooking a tree-lined park with benches, perfect for classic NYC people-watching. Equipped with automated blackout shades and treated with protective film to block heat, windows and doors are soundproofed for a silent environment, ensuring the apartment remains a peaceful escape from the city bustle.

At the heart of the home, a floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace commands the room-a rare luxury that sets the tone for the entire space. The open layout transitions seamlessly into a dedicated dining area, creating a rhythmic flow that simplifies the hustle of NYC living. Whether you're unwinding after a long day or hosting a lively dinner party, the intuitive design makes every moment feel effortless.

Integrated Savant and Lutron systems place the entire home at your fingertips with intuitive iPad controls. Personalize dimmable lighting, thermostats, central air and automated blackout shades on both levels, with scheduled settings that simplify busy routines and shift the mood from morning to evening. Audio and video wiring throughout, paired with ceiling-integrated speakers on both levels, brings favorite playlists, films and entertainment into everyday living with effortless iPad control. An upgraded video intercom adds convenience.

The fully renovated kitchen offers high-end function featuring thoughtfully planned cabinetry to maximize storage, bespoke appliances and a gracious breakfast bar for morning coffee or conversation while cooking. Storage is elevated to an art form with a rare New York City luxury of a dedicated attic space.

The lower-level retreat provides a sense of total privacy. Two expansive banks of customized closets incorporate lighting, shelving and generous wardrobe storage behind sliding doors. The second full bathroom includes a glass-enclosed shower, customized medicine cabinet, adjustable lighting and concealed Miele washer and dryer. A separate entrance completes the level.

Originally the 10th Precinct Police Station, this landmarked 1893 building is now a pet-friendly elevator co-op featuring a superintendent, laundry facilities, and bicycle storage. The building maintains flexible policies, permitting guarantors, subletting, and pieds-à-terre. Please note there is a 4% flip tax split between buyer and seller.

Connectivity is seamless with the C and E trains directly across the street, the 1 at Houston, and the West 4th hub nearby. The location places you moments from legendary institutions like Raoul's and Balthazar, the famous treats at Dominique Ansel Bakery, and the world-class boutiques that define SoHo style.

Distinctive design, intuitive technology and exceptional storage distinguish 196 6th Avenue, Apartment 1A-a welcoming home for entertaining, recharging and embracing downtown life.
