Overview of 181 Sullivan Street

181 Sullivan Street, formerly the home of the Sullivan Street Playhouse, is a boutique condominium that underwent a significant transformation in 2006 under the direction of Jeffrey Gershon of The Gershon Company. The building features a striking glass façade designed by ADG Architects and is located at the intersection of Soho, Noho, and Greenwich Village, just a short walk from Washington Square Park. The property is pet friendly and consists of five full-floor residences, offering a blend of modern architecture and historical charm.

Residences at 181 Sullivan Street are characterized by their spacious layouts, with apartments ranging from 1,530 to 1,970 square feet. Notable features include private keyed elevator access, high ceilings, and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that provide ample natural light and views of the surrounding tree-lined streets. Many units boast luxurious finishes, including Valcucine kitchens, gas fireplaces, and bathrooms equipped with Boffi sinks and radiant floor heating.

The penthouse unit stands out with its 1,320 square foot private roof deck, offering panoramic views of the village and the Hudson River. This residence includes two bedrooms and two and a half baths, with high-end appliances from brands like Sub-Zero and Miele, as well as exquisite design details such as gallery moldings and skylights.
