Music fans and history buffs alike take note: the SoHo loft once owned by John Lennon and Yoko Ono is on the market for the first time in 50 years. This two-story brick, bluestone, and terracotta building at 496 Broome Street was the couple’s first NYC residence, purchased in 1971, the same year as Lennon’s iconic album “Imagine.”
The property, priced at $5.5 million, represents more than just a living space; it was a hub for creativity. Described as having an open-floor plan and gallery-like feel, the loft served as a backdrop to the couple’s artistic endeavors and reportedly hosted a vibrant social scene for other artists and musicians.
While the Lennon family has retained ownership since its purchase, the building has undergone renovations. However, with details like a ground-floor recording studio, the space undoubtedly retains echoes of its rock and roll past.
For anyone seeking a unique piece of New York City history steeped in musical legacy, this SoHo loft offers a rare opportunity. Whether you’re a die-hard Beatles fan or simply appreciate artistic heritage, this offering provides a chance to own a place where inspiration bloomed.
