49 Howard Street, New York City, NY 10013

On its own quiet stretch of Howard Street, at the edge of Soho’s vibrant energy, Residence 4S is an authentic loft, adeptly renovated to retain its classic sensibility while introducing chic, minimalist finishes.

Entering through a gallery-style hallway, the loft opens into a grand living area with nearly 11-foot pressed-tin ceilings, restored hardwood floors, and crisp, whitewashed masonry walls. Industrial pipe shelving adds both function and style, nodding to the building’s creative roots.

South-facing windows let in generous natural light across the open and flexible living area, with plenty of space for relaxing, entertaining, or working.

The open kitchen is designed for both everyday living and elevated entertaining. A massive island provides casual seating and contributes to the abundant counter space – a rare luxury in Manhattan. Ample storage is paired with top-of-the-line appliances, making the entire kitchen as practical as it is thoughtfully designed. The adjacent dining area is spacious, accommodating both intimate meals and gracious dinner parties.

The bedroom is tucked behind a partitioned wall, offering a comfortable retreat from the openness of the main space. There is a walk-in closet for keeping items organized and tucked away, and above it, a lofted area functions well as a home office, guest quarters, or studio space. Connected to the loft is a generous hidden storage area.

The bathroom, designed by Minotti Cucine, is spa-like, featuring a striking bronze soaking tub, a stall shower, and a stone infinity sink. Adjacent, there is a dedicated laundry room with a Bosch washer/dryer for convenience.

Located in a private building of just 6-units, 49 Howard Street offers a sense of seclusion while being just moments from SoHo’s best shops, restaurants, galleries, and major subway lines (N, Q, R, W, A, C, E, 1, 6). The building is currently upgrading to a virtual doorman system.
