Set within an intimate boutique cooperative at 81 Wooster Street, this approximately over 5,000-square-foot residence is an authentic artist loft in the truest sense - expansive, raw, light-filled, and rich with original architectural detail. Held by the same ownership for more than four decades, the property offers an increasingly rare opportunity to create a significant private home within one of downtown Manhattan's most iconic historic districts. The loft occupies the fifth floor and is accessed directly by private keyed elevator. Inside, the scale is immediately impressive: broad open spaces, original pressed-tin ceilings, maple flooring, industrial details, and the proportions associated with SoHo's original working lofts. Natural light enters through 6 oversized windows. Six overlook cobblestoned Wooster Street, while additional 3 window exposures open north and toward West Broadway, giving the residence long neighborhood views and a sense of openness uncommon in many downtown lofts. Currently configured as a largely open artist space, the property offers exceptional flexibility for a complete transformation. A future owner could create a substantial three-bedroom residence with generous entertaining areas, multiple bathrooms, a large kitchen, office space, dressing rooms, and additional flexible rooms while still preserving the dramatic scale that makes the loft so distinctive. The building itself has the intimate feeling of classic SoHo, with a limited number of residences and a wide, gracious common staircase that reinforces the architectural character of the property. Positioned between Spring and Broome Streets, the residence sits in the heart of SoHo, surrounded by cast-iron architecture, galleries, restaurants, boutiques, and many of downtown Manhattan's most recognizable destinations. What makes this offering particularly special is its authenticity. This is not a newly created loft or a conventional apartment with industrial finishes added later. It is a genuine SoHo artist loft - substantial in scale, original in character, and ready to be completely reimagined for its next generation of ownership. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Loft - **Beds**: 3 - **Baths**: 3 - **Rooms**: 6 - **Sqft**: 5,000 sqft - **Stories**: 6 - **Year Built**: 1880 - **Price per Sqft**: $1,050 - **Common Charges**: $7,900 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Oct 2, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 1 Days ### Residence Features - Washer Hookup - In Unit - High Ceilings - Storage - Walk-In Closet(s) - Washer Dryer Allowed - City - Downtown - Panoramic - Skyline ## Estimated Monthly Payment **$34,447 / month**, assuming a 20% down payment ($1,050,000), a 6.5% interest rate and a 30-year term.

Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 3WO (Apartment) | 3 | 3,600 | $3,980,000 | $1,106/ft² | November 4, 2024 | MLS | | 2WM (Loft) | 3 | 4,000 | $6,600,000 | $1,650/ft² | April 21, 2022 | City record · MLS | Every row is a recorded transaction, including ancillary spaces such as storage and staff rooms where they were sold separately. Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares - **This home**: $5,250,000 - **Median sold price**: $4,380,000 - **Difference**: +$870,000 (+19.9%) - **This home, $/ft²**: $1,050 - **Comparable sales**: 6 - **Sales from**: January 2025 – March 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $3,027,500 – $4,937,492 Based on co-op three-bedroom sales in SoHo. Square footage is recorded for only 1 of these 6 sales (17%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest. This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from SoHo instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sale-to-list price**: 100.2% (6 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 33% (6 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 144 days (6 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 112 days (6 sales) Based on co-op three-bedroom sales in SoHo with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Sales data through March 2026. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
