259 Bowery is a six story boutique condominium with just five full floor apartments, converted in 2000 by Charles Saulson from a 1910 commercial building. Architect Fritz Johnson handled the residential conversion, creating spacious lofts with soaring ceilings ranging from 11.5 to over 12 feet. The building sits mid block between East Houston and Stanton streets, just south of the Sperone Westwater Gallery designed by Sir Norman Foster, and shares the block with Whole Foods while sitting one block north of the New Museum.
The apartments vary significantly in size and configuration. The third and fourth floor duplex spans 3,700 square feet with three to four bedrooms and features a massive 650 to 745 square foot terrace. This unit was featured in Elle Decor magazine for its seamless concrete bathrooms and fireplaces. The fifth floor apartment, designed by acclaimed West Chin Architects, offers 2,250 square feet with two bedrooms and a 100 square foot private terrace. The top floor penthouse includes two bedrooms and three rooftop terraces. Nearly all units feature wood burning fireplaces, exposed brick walls, and private outdoor space accessed from the bedrooms.
Interior finishes across the building reflect high end residential conversions, with units showcasing custom millwork in materials like Aspen wood and Macassar Ebony, floor to ceiling windows, and spa like bathrooms finished in Carrara marble. Kitchens feature premium appliances from Sub-Zero, Viking, Gaggenau, and Boffi or Poggenpohl cabinetry. Several apartments include Crestron A/V systems, Lutron lighting controls, and extensive custom built in storage. The building offers a visiting superintendent and private keyed elevator access to each full floor residence, positioning residents at the convergence of Nolita, SoHo, the Lower East Side, and NoHo with easy access to multiple subway lines.
