5 East 22nd Street, 24-D

Flatiron Meets Tokyo

Designed by award-winning architect, Yoshimi Kono, this just-renovated 24th floor south-west corner-exposure home with gorgeous architectural views over Flatiron has been brilliantly reimagined as an expansive one bedroom, two bath residence that reflects the beauty and simplicity of classic Japanese architecture. The generous use of different types of wood, including Danish Douglas fir and Japanese Tamo, creates subtle, elegant patterns throughout the home while retaining a clean, minimalist feel.

Awash in sunlight from fourteen oversized windows, the property features an expansive corner-exposure living room with views of downtown, hand-crafted custom millwork & built-ins and a 51 square foot west-facing balcony. The beautifully-designed windowed kitchen with open city views to the south is open to a large dining area, features custom cabinetry, Corian countertops and stainless or custom-paneled appliances plus two large pantries. When opened, an elegant pair of retractable doors allows the kitchen to conveniently disappear.

The large west-facing bedroom, which is accessed from both the foyer and the living room, accommodates a California-king bed with built-in side tables and shelves, three closets plus ingenious built-ins and custom millwork. The minimalist en-suite master bath and the second bath have been outfitted with custom Tamo wood & Corian vanities, Toto Electronic Washlet toilets and finished with Slate and porcelain tile.

Additional features of the home include Dinesen Douglas fir 12 inch wide plank floors, all new windows and sliding doors, new central heat and air conditioning, a Lutron central lighting system and custom window treatments.

This is a remarkable home that must be seen to be fully appreciated.
