The sights and sounds of New York City’s SoHo area surround 151 Wooster. Boutiques, small shops and restaurants abound, providing residents to partake in a constant flow of activities. But with these condominiums sporting eleven-foot barrel vaulted ceilings, being inside can be just as airy and comfortable as sitting outside on a warm, spring day. Each 3,000 square-foot luxury condo is equipped with its own central air and heat, which can be controlled along with temperature and lighting in the unit. Recessed lighting gives a peaceful, outdoor ambience to the condo. Of course, poor décor or cheap furnishings can ruin even the perfect setting. Fortunately, 151 Wooster doesn’t have to worry about being accused of skimping on the quality. Each unit’s kitchen has a built in coffee system for the perpetual worker who needs the constant pot of coffee to stay awake.

For ease of use and cleaning, a built in oven and range minimizes household clutter. And with a built-in wine cabinet, there’s always a place to hold that weekend cocktail party! Even the restrooms are treated to a careful touch of elegance, with a lounging whirlpool bath and a stone shower trumped by the automatic-flush toilet (which also has a heated seat for those cold nights). Each residence is also equipped with a video intercom and Verizon’s FIOS capabilities, a service that offers three-tiered network in high-speed phone, Internet and cable service.

Architect Lee Skolnick has formed the eight-story, limestone building into 3.5-9.75 million-dollar “palaces,” 10 lofts and 2 penthouses. A 24-hour concierge service allows residents to enjoy their days off without having to spend the day tying up the loose ends of the domestic world. A gas fireplace gives the same weary worker a place to find peace without leaving home. And for those who just can’t tolerate a day off lounging in the house, a simple walk down the cobblestone surface of Wooster Street can lead to the Silver Towers of NYU in one direction, to the Louis K. Meisel Contemporary Art Gallery in the other. Considering the area and the designer’s decision to go the “green” route, units are on their way out the door quickly.
