Encompassing approximately 2,890 interior square feet, complemented by 860 square feet of private outdoor space, the residence delivers a sense of openness and scale that is increasingly difficult to find in downtown Manhattan. A keyed elevator opens directly into the home, introducing dramatic ceiling heights ranging from 10 feet to over 20 feet, most strikingly within the double-height living room. A sculptural floating staircase serves as both architectural centerpiece and functional art, creating an environment equally suited to refined entertaining and private daily living. The open chef's kitchen is designed with both form and performance in mind and is equipped with premium Miele appliances, including a 30-inch wine refrigerator, a 36-inch side-by-side refrigerator and freezer, convection and speed ovens, a water filtration and chiller system, stainless steel cabinetry, and Corian countertops. The residence features four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, with spa-like Carrara marble baths that are timeless, restrained, and thoughtfully detailed. Five terraces extend the living experience outdoors, offering multiple moments of light, air, and privacy. Additional highlights include a newly installed HVAC system with sleek linear diffusers, Lutron lighting, integrated Sonos audio, a central fireplace, and Brazilian cherry wood flooring throughout. Originally constructed in the late 19th century as the Hawley & Hoops chocolate factory, 285 Lafayette Street is a significant example of SoHo's industrial heritage and among the neighborhood's earliest luxury loft conversions. Today, the boutique condominium offers a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a thoughtfully renovated lobby, a landscaped common roof terrace, and two separate points of entry, including a discreet Mulberry Street entrance that provides an added layer of privacy and security. Situated at the intersection of SoHo and Nolita, this penthouse represents a rare opportunity to acquire a residence of enduring architectural integrity, substantial scale, and exceptional outdoor space within one of Manhattan's most established and historically important downtown neighborhoods. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Duplex - **Beds**: 4 - **Total Baths**: 5 - **Rooms**: 6 - **Sqft**: 2,890 sqft - **Stories**: 9 - **Year Built**: 1900 - **Price per Sqft**: $4,567 - **Common Charges**: $5,361 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Jan 5, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 251 Days ### Residence Features - Central Air - Private Outdoor Space Over 60 Sqft - High Ceilings - Bridge(s) - City Lights - City - Panoramic - River ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales 7 apartments at 285 Lafayette Street have recorded sales since September 2021, the most recent for $7,850,000 in March 2025.

We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one. Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls. Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1005101029. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
