The Emmy Award-winning actress, Sela Ward, is selling her 2,400-square-foot apartment, which is hidden amid a nineteenth-century factory among the cobbles of Soho. The loft, which overlooks the urban neighborhood of the concrete jungle, is a specious shrine to contemporary art, tropical plants, and rainbow-kissed decor.

Sela Ward purchased the apartment, located at 16 Crosby Street, along with her husband Howard Sherman, for $4.2 million in 2016. The apartment, which the couple has completely renovated, is now listed for $5.795 million with Mark Schoenfeld and Joseph Pullen of The Corcoran Group, New York.

The apartment epitomizes Soho sophistication, complete with 14-foot ceilings, cast-iron columns, and white-washed exposed brick. The esteemed actress, producer, and actor also injected chic personal touches, including a marble- glazed kitchen, French doors, and a stylish glass-enclosed mezzanine. 

The loft also boasts 10ft east-facing windows that frame the most stylish district of the city.

Perhaps the most striking centerpiece of the apartment is its 27x28-foot living room, which will undoubtedly play host to style-infused parties throughout the night in the city that never sleeps. 

Beyond the heart of the property are three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and a gallery with space for a coffee bar and 50-bottle wine fridge.
