Property Description for 1200 Broadway, 5-G
This exceptional two-bedroom loft is a sophisticated showcase of custom design, exquisite natural materials, and state-of-the-art technology, all framed by magnificent, unobstructed views of the Empire State Building. Vast ceilings, grand proportions, and multiple oversized windows create a true open-loft experience, allowing natural light to stream through the home throughout the day. As evening falls, the views become even more spectacular, with the illuminated Empire State Building and surrounding city lights creating a dramatic New York City backdrop. Enter the apartment into a welcoming seating and lounge area, where a dramatic three-dimensional textured feature wall immediately introduces the residence's distinctive design aesthetic. From here, the home unfolds seamlessly into an expansive great room with soaring ceilings and ample space for both generous living and a separate dining area-equally suited to comfortable everyday living and large-scale entertaining. Natural English oak floors run throughout the residence, complemented by Lutron Grafik T lighting controls, recessed LED downlights, and a 36,000 BTU central air-conditioning system. Bianca Carrara marble, sculptural three-dimensional textured walls, and a Bocci 22 outlet system further distinguish the interiors, reflecting the meticulous attention given to every element of the home. Storage has been exceptionally well considered throughout, with an abundance of discreet and cleverly concealed cabinetry that preserves the home's clean architectural lines. Additional storage is located above the laundry area, providing valuable space without compromising the openness and visual aesthetic of the loft.
The open chef's kitchen flows seamlessly into the great room, creating an inviting environment for both everyday living and entertaining. As beautifully designed as it is exceptionally equipped, the kitchen features an extensive Wolf appliance package including a convection steam oven, convection oven, grill top, and induction cooktop. Additional appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator with two freezer compartments, Sub-Zero dual-zone wine storage, Miele dishwasher, and Gaggenau retractable cooking ventilation. MGS stainless-steel faucets and Carrara marble countertops complete this striking and highly functional culinary space.
The extraordinarily large and bright primary bedroom is a serene private retreat, offering generous proportions and abundant natural light. The suite features a custom Molteni&C walk-in closet and shoe storage system-the same sophisticated cabinetry found in Prada showrooms. The primary bathroom is a remarkable composition of stone, stainless steel, and custom craftsmanship. Calacatta Gold marble floors are paired with Boffi Fantini fixtures, a rain shower, a built-in stainless-steel Viola heated towel rack, and a custom Alta Marea vanity finished in spectacular Calacatta Viola marble. A dramatic showcase wall, inspired by Japanese woodblock prints and crafted from Bianca Carrara marble, transforms the room into a work of art. A TOTO Neorest Washlet completes the space. The beautifully appointed second bathroom continues the residence's exacting design language with MGS stainless-steel fixtures and a rain shower. Bianca Carrara marble tile, arranged in a pattern inspired by the lotus flower, adds an elegant sculptural element. The generously proportioned second bedroom enjoys wonderful natural light from its western exposure and features a large closet, making it equally suited for use as a bedroom, guest room, or sophisticated home office.
Throughout the residence, exceptional craftsmanship, custom millwork, rare marble, European fixtures, thoughtfully incorporated technology, and extraordinary storage come together to create a home that is both visually striking and exceptionally livable. With its soaring ceilings, open loft proportions, abundant natural light, and unobstructed Empire State Building views that are equally compelling by day and breathtaking when illuminated at night, this is a truly distinctive New York City residence where architecture, design, light, and luxury meet.
