196 6Th Ave

A landmarked, boutique prewar cooperative in SoHo originally built in 1893 and adaptively reused in the 1980s. The nine-story walk-up/elevator building reflects its civic past with a red-brick façade and arched windows; interiors combine high, loft-like ceilings and exposed brick with renovated modern systems. Residences are predominantly one-bedroom layouts alongside larger duplex and penthouse lofts; many units feature oversized windows, wood-burning fireplaces, original architectural details, hardwood floors and open-plan living. Common areas include a renovated lobby, a basement laundry room, a bike room and a landscaped roof deck accessible to residents. Building services are modest: a part-time superintendent, elevator access, and routine laundry facilities rather than full-time concierge support. Parking is not provided on-site; the property sits set back from the avenue behind Father Fagan Park, creating a quieter entrance and street presence. Pet ownership, co-purchasing and pied-à-terre ownership are permitted with board approval; subletting and resale rules follow cooperative governance. Located at the nexus of SoHo, the West Village and Hudson Square, the building places residents within walking distance of boutique shopping, restaurants, grocery options and multiple subway lines, offering an urban lifestyle centered on culture, dining and strong transit access.
