Listing Notes
Perched atop one of SoHo's most coveted cast-iron condominium buildings, this extraordinary full-floor, 5th-floor loft at 47 Mercer Street is a rare offering that combines historic character, over 4, 000 square feet of indoor space, and a spectacular 1, 000-square-foot private roof deck with open sunset cityscape views. Spanning an impressive 50 feet in width with soaring 11-foot ceilings, the residence is flooded with light from 18 oversized windows across four dramatic exposures, including six south-facing windows that bathe the living spaces in sun throughout the day. Original architectural bones meet refined modern living, highlighted by a rare wood-burning fireplace that anchors the grand entertaining spaces with warmth and authenticity. Currently configured as a 3-bedroom (convertible 4), 3.5-bathroom home, the layout offers exceptional scale for both gracious entertaining and comfortable daily living, with flexibility for re-imagined customization if desired. The private roof deck, featuring a glass-enclosed atrium, crowns the residence, offering a highly coveted indoor-outdoor lifestyle rarely found in SoHo-ideal for sunset dining, intimate gatherings, or quiet moments above the city. This condominium residence enjoys the added benefit of low monthly carrying costs and includes additional private storage in the basement. A parking garage is available directly across the street. Located on a prime cobblestone block in the heart of SoHo, moments from world-class dining, shopping, and cultural landmarks, 47 Mercer represents the ultimate expression of authentic downtown loft living-elevated to its finest level.
