32 West 20th Street, Unit 9B
Description
Enter through the gallery foyer to the great room, where a 40'-foot wall of south-facing windows...A perfect composition of light, scale, and livability, Residence 9B at 32 West 20th Street is a quintessential three-bedroom Flatiron loft defined by its soaring ceilings, massive south- and east-facing windows and open, sunny disposition. Owned, designed and occupied for the past several decades by a producer and photographer, the home is both a creative expression and the perfect backdrop for creation.
Enter through the gallery foyer to the great room, where a 40'-foot wall of south-facing windows graces the room with all day light. Ceiling heights of nearly 11 feet and a second eastern exposure make the space feel absolutely grand, with room enough for formal sitting, a 10-person dining table, a small library and breakfast bar seating.
The kitchen grounds the home and invites comfortable gathering. It offers a suite of high-end appliances by Miele, Sub-Zero and Viking. It's minimal by design, with lovely wooden cabinetry, concrete countertops and ample storage including a large pantry.
At the southwest end of the home, the principal bedroom suite is a zen retreat. A private en-suite bath with a deep soaking tub and a walk-in shower is finished in a classic white tile. Across the hall is a proper dark room; use it as-is for processing photographs or combine it with the spacious closet next door to create a more traditional home office.
Two additional bedrooms sit quietly at the northeast end of the loft, simple in form and flexible in use. There is a second full bathroom across the hall, complete with in-unit laundry facilities. The home is offered with additional storage cupboards in the hallway and basement.
32 West 20th Street was built in 1912 and converted to an 18-unit cooperative in 1978. The building has historically housed artists and bankers alike, and appealed to both because of it's proximity to public transport, Madison Square Park, the amenities of 5th Avenue, Chelsea and Flatiron, and the spacious loft layouts in the building itself. Residents enjoy access to a part-time super, a bike room, a modern intercom system and a quiet, refined Flatiron block.
