489 Broome St. #5W

Welcome to 489 Broome Street, Residence 5W, a spectacular penthouse loft nestled in the heart of SoHo’s Cast Iron Historic District. This luminous one bedroom, two bathroom home with a separate loft is a rare offering that captures the essence of authentic loft living while embracing a refined, contemporary renovation. With grand proportions, dramatic light, and carefully curated finishes, this residence is a study in scale and sophistication.

Spanning approximately 80 feet in length, the apartment is defined by its soaring 13’8 ceilings, newly refinished hardwood floors, and oversized brand new north and south-facing windows that frame dynamic views of the city. Southern exposures provide a direct sightline to the Freedom Tower while multiple skylights invite sunlight to pour into the living spaces throughout the day. The dramatic great room easily accommodates living, dining, and entertaining with a sense of openness that only a true loft can provide. A loft above offers a flexible retreat, ideal as a home office or quiet lounge, perfectly perched beneath the skylights and open to the expanse below.

The renovated kitchen is a clean study in modern minimalism, featuring white cabinetry, stainless steel LG appliances, quartz countertops, and a striking black and white checkerboard floor that adds graphic contrast and personality. A waterfall breakfast bar invites casual meals and conversation, anchoring the kitchen in the rhythm of daily life.
