496 Broome Street

Prior to acquiring their long-time residence at the famed Dakota apartment building on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, John Lennon and Yoko Ono had purchased their first New York home at 496 Broome Street in Soho in 1971. Today, this unique two-story loft-style building, whose ownership has remained in the family, is being offered for sale for the first time in 53 years exclusively through JLL.

Located on the north side of Broome Street between Wooster Street and West Broadway, the property features an open ground floor with soaring 14’4” ceiling heights and a spacious open kitchen and bedroom loft in the rear. The top floor comprises another large living space and a former recording studio.

With 20 feet of frontage along Broome Street in one of Manhattan’s most popular shopping districts and just steps from Hudson Square and Tribeca, the property offers an exciting opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind property. 496 Broome Street is situated in the heart of SoHo which is globally recognized as a premier residential, retail, arts and office destination, renowned for its upscale luxury boutiques, restaurants and galleries drawing visitors from around the world. Within just a few steps of the property you will find such recognizable institutions as Cipriani Downtown, Ralph Lauren, Laduree, Reiss, Patagonia, Chanel, Emporia Armani, and Lonchamp, to name a few. This location allows for a wide range of uses including retail, residential and/or commercial uses including a townhome, retail store, private corporate office, restaurant or boutique art gallery.
