3 West 16th Street, 3

A classic is reborn in the heart of the Flatiron/Union Square. Just off lower Fifth Avenue, 3 West 16th Street is a limited collection of very special rental residences inspired by the great artist lofts of the early 20th Century and thoroughly updated to the height of modernity. Behind the elegantly sculpted facade of carved limestone, enter a gracious lobby fitted in sumptuous travertine marble. Just five full-floor lofts await within, each with its own private elevator gallery landing. Inside this third floor home, uncommonly expansive dimensions greet you. The south-facing great room measures nearly 30×20, with handsome built-in shelving framing a working fireplace. Extensive lighting punctuates high gallery ceilings, and a glass-framed juliette balcony faces Fifth Avenue. The separate eat-in kitchen is as functional as it is luxurious. Appliances from Bertazzoni, Sub-Zero, and Miele are set into custom cabinetry and fully vented. Two of the three bedrooms are winged in the rear of the loft, each with its own spa-like bathroom. The spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet plus secondary closet, and a small balcony is perfect for morning coffee; the primary bath features a separate tub and glass shower, plus private W.C. room. The third bedroom is flexible and also includes a private bath. A separate den (currently enclosed) can be used as a perfect home office, play room, formal dining room, or media room. A laundry room is in each apartment with oversized vented machines. Central air conditioning. 3 West 16th Street has a virtual lobby attendant for secure package delivery and security plus bike room for residents. Elegant, rare, and precious, this home is available for leases from the middle of April 2024 with NO condominium board approval! Pets welcomed with approval.
