An impeccably designed full-floor loft at 259 Bowery, created by acclaimed West Chin Architects, is now available. This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condominium spans a generous 2,250 square feet of interior space, crowned by 11.5-foot ceilings and complemented by a private terrace of over 100 square feet. The home offers a rare combination of volume, character, and high design—set right where Nolita, NoHo, the Lower East Side, and SoHo seamlessly meet.
Accessed via a private keyed elevator, the loft unfolds over nearly 100 linear feet, from front to back. The western end is anchored by an expansive living and dining area, bathed in afternoon light through oversized CitiQuiet windows. A sculptural Aspen wood canopy arcs overhead, adding warmth and drama, while a white marble wood-burning fireplace and custom built-in bench seating complete the room’s inviting atmosphere.
The adjacent open kitchen is both functional and refined, with Poggenpohl cabinetry, a vented Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, granite counters, pendant lighting, and a generous center island perfect for casual dining or entertaining. Smartly designed storage and thoughtful finishes round out the space.
Centrally located within the loft, a cozy den/media room provides a more intimate setting, outfitted with custom millwork, integrated speakers, and a Crestron A/V system. A full guest bath nearby features a spa-style wet room with mosaic tile floors, glass enclosures, and sleek brushed steel hardware.
Tucked away at the eastern end of the home, the bedroom wing is tranquil and refined. Both the primary and second bedrooms open to the private terrace and feature exposed brick walls, custom built-ins in richly grained Macassar Ebony, and oversized east-facing windows and double doors. A shared walk-through dressing room, outfitted with floor-to-ceiling custom storage, connects the two bedrooms to the luxurious primary bathroom. Outfitted with radiant heat floors, Duravit fixtures, a freestanding soaking tub, separate rain shower, and Carrara marble double vanity, the space offers a serene retreat.
Throughout the home, wide-plank hardwood flooring, custom closets, and extensive built-in storage maximize comfort and livability. Additional highlights include central air, Lutron lighting, in-unit washer/dryer, and a private storage room.
259 Bowery is a boutique five-residence condominium with a visiting super. Perfectly positioned among downtown Manhattan’s most vibrant and creative neighborhoods—and within easy reach of multiple subway lines, world-class dining, shopping, and cultural destinations—this loft is a rare offering that lives like a work of art.
