Live Artfully
Once in a rare while, a truly exceptional home graces these pages, turning heads and melting hearts. This is that home.
Lovingly renovated from top to bottom and from side to side, everything inside of this luxurious, historical loft has been reinvented, re-crafted, and renewed. This sprawling, supremely proportioned residence — perfectly perched in its well-run, boutique building — elevates loft living to an entirely new level.
Here, good form keenly melds with easy function, and a big, smart, handsome home — featuring three exposures and a fantastically flexible floor plan — is the beautiful result. Easily able to capture five sizeable bedrooms (see alternate plan), this inspiring residence was designed as a remarkably scaled four-bedroom home — a voluminous, well-crafted loft with space to spare.
A keyed-elevator ushers you onto this heroic loft’s private landing — a well-crafted entreé ideal for shedding your city layers before your enter the glorious home that unfolds before you.
The foyer flows flawlessly into the Great Room — a super-scaled mega Living Room with this home’s signature ~49-foot run of nearly floor-to-ceiling windows. Because this floor-through home is on floor five, it is the very first loft in its well run building to enjoy a bonus exposure of windows along its Western wall. This bonus exposure — and its big, bonus windows — give you more light, more floor plan flexibility (see alternate plan), and a more dynamic lifestyle.
Overhead, ceilings soar to 10-feet — underfoot are wide-planked Oak floors — and before you flows your super-luxe, head-turning home custom crafted for spreading out in style.
The open-plan Chef’s Kitchen is a large, practical, and attractive, custom culinary dream space surrounded by 42 linear feet of marble counters and a dining bar. With ample, new storage, cabinets, and pantry space, this cook’s paradise offers plenty of elbow room, a vented range hood and trophy appliances (including a Miele coffee station and a wine fridge).
The big Dining Room is on the other side of Kitchen — the den/media area offers a big scale that rivals most living rooms — and the two grand Guest Bedroom Suites are the size of most master bedrooms Three designer, marble Guest Bathroom’s elegantly serve the Guest Bedrooms — one with a step-in shower, and two with soaking tubs.
The Master Wing is immensely scaled and comfortable. With a ton of custom closets (including a big, outfitted walk-in with dressing room), this super suite enjoys a tremendous, spa-inspired, marble, windowed Master Bath with dual sinks, step-in shower, and separate soaking tub.
Every detail during this mindful renovation has been smartly addressed. Aside from all of the new rooms and new kitchen and new baths in this fully re-invented loft, there are new systems in place. Within this inviting home are a new laundry room with vented dryer, new LED ceiling lighting, new plumbing, a new hot water heating system, a new electrical system, a new WiFI system, a new Sonos sound system, a new HVAC system, new Lutron blackout, dim-out, and sheer window shades, and more.
Here, with the famous Union Square Greenmarket and a plethora of top restaurants and shops close by, world-class dining, shopping, and easy transportation options reign supreme. A few blocks in any direction from this home finds you steeped in history, culture and excitement — the heart of the Village, Flatiron, Gramercy, Chelsea, and Meatpacking neighborhoods are all nearby.
Once in a rare while, a real head-turner and heart-melter comes along. This lovingly customized loft is your exceptional opportunity to live artfully.
