Currently configured as a 3 bedroom, it can be converted into 4 bedrooms. Approximately 4,100 sq. ft., the sense of expansiveness starts at the entry where a keyed elevator leads into the grandly scaled entertaining spaces.

This airy loft was designed by acclaimed Naiztat + Ham Architects, a boutique Downtown architecture firm that is one of the most desired firms in NYC. Naiztat + Ham Architects beautifully blended modern finishes with original industrial details that include barrel-vaulted terra-cotta ceilings 12’8’’ tall, exposed brick walls, four steel columns, exposed water pipes and fourteen oversized windows. The windows drench the interiors with natural light while framing fabulous New York City skyline views. This seventh-floor loft has Southern, Northern, and Eastern exposures and is equipped with electronic solar shades. For maximum privacy, the bonus room features electronic floor-to-ceiling blinds.

The all-white Italian Boffi kitchen flows seamlessly into the open dining area and exhibits a minimalist design with no handles.

This Italian made kitchen also offers a wine cooler.

Flatiron
Flatiron
A historic district with a modern finish. With its central location, Flatiron is great for those who want a little bit of everything. Bustling daytime transit dissipates into relaxed evening strolls as Flatiron bends to be energetic when you want it, and peaceful when you don’t.
