Nick Denton’s Soho Loft Available for $3.5 Million
The bustling art and culture hub of Soho, New York City, has recently seen the listing of a remarkable two-bedroom loft that holds the history and charm of its notable owner, Nick Denton, founder of Gawker Media. Priced at $3.5 million, this unique residence situated at 76 Crosby Street is now on the market as Denton and his family prepare for their move to the UK.
A Blend of History and Modernity
This expansive condo combines historic elements with contemporary comforts. Located on the second floor, the unit is defined by its private entrance and access through a doorman-staffed lobby, merging the privacy typical of a townhouse with the security of a full-service building.
Architectural Features
Boasting ceilings nearly 13 feet high, the loft is flooded with natural light thanks to wraparound southeast-facing windows. The great room features three striking cast iron columns alongside an original solid wooden ceiling beam, accentuating its industrial roots. Complementing these historical features are modern finishes, including a well-equipped chef’s kitchen that includes:
- Viking six-burner cooktop
- SubZero refrigerator
- Wine cooler
- Miele wall oven
Spacious Living Areas
The open-concept living and dining area stretches nearly 30 feet, bordered by seven tall windows that come with cushioned seating and integrated bookshelves. The spacious secondary bedroom serves multiple purposes, easily converting into a media room or home office as needed.
Luxurious Primary Suite
For privacy, the primary suite is a tranquil refuge from the energetic city outside. It features a spa-like bathroom adorned with teak finishes, a Japanese soaking tub, and a rain shower. Two dressing closets in the suite ensure ample storage for its residents. Denton remarked on his favorite feature in the primary suite: “My favorite room is the nook, opposite the bedroom in the master suite. It’s where I do my work and watch the trucks make deliveries with the kids on Crosby Street.”
A Look Back
This isn’t the first time this loft has been listed. Back in 2016, it was on the market for $4.25 million and was previously rented for $14,000 per month. During his time in the loft, Denton ran the now-defunct Gawker website, which he co-founded in 2002.
The Neighborhood Experience
Denton shared his appreciation for the locale, bringing a European touch to his New York lifestyle. “For the last few years, I’ve been shuttling back and forth between Europe and New York,” he noted. “And I appreciate our home even more. Croissants for breakfast from the French bakery across the way, business meetings in the red-leather booths in Balthazar, and Equinox just a block away — better than any hotel gym. Five stars!”
A Fun Historical Note
Interestingly, the building also has historical celebrity ties; television personalities Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos owned the penthouse duplex in the past, having sold it in 2014 for $20 million.
