Description
18' high ceilings & 15' high windows that overlook Bryant Park make this wide open loft in a historic building a rare opportunity to create a one of a kind home in the heart of the city. The beautiful Renascence Revival building was once the prestigious Engineers Club built by Andrew Carnegie in 1907 with members Nicola Tesla , Mark Twain, Henry Clay Frick , President Herbert C. Hoover, Cornelius Vanderbilt , Thomas Edison & H. H. Westinghouse the club was the seat of invention in the gilded age....18' high ceilings & 15' high windows that overlook Bryant Park make this wide open loft in a historic building a rare opportunity to create a one of a kind home in the heart of the city. The beautiful Renascence Revival building was once the prestigious Engineers Club built by Andrew Carnegie in 1907 with members Nicola Tesla , Mark Twain, Henry Clay Frick , President Herbert C. Hoover, Cornelius Vanderbilt , Thomas Edison & H. H. Westinghouse the club was the seat of invention in the gilded age. The loft was formerly half of the library in the club and it has a spectacular semi private landing with 20' high ceilings that serves only one other shareholder. The current owner has brought it down to the bricks preserving the original millwork and huge marble fireplace that is over 5' tall & 8' wide. All new wiring has been brought into the loft and the electric has been upgraded to 220 volts to accommodate an HVAC System that is possible in this space. The quietly elegant limestone and marble lobby retains the club like feel with an excellent staff that has been with the building for many years. There is a 24 hour doorman station to receive your packages and assist your guests , a live in superintendent and a professional full time porter staff that knows the building inside - out. In a sea of new built hi rise construction with hundreds of look alike white box apartments , this is a completely different experience , and their not building any more like this. It's just steps off 5th Avenue but close to Chelsea, The West Village, SoHo & Tribeca. There is a Whole Foods Market just a block away and the entrance to every possible subway , train or bus is directly accross the street. Not to forget the park that is like your private backyard but it also guarantees the beautiful park view from the loft will always be there. This is the apartment that you dream of having in the city but rarely find. Residential buildings don't have rooms this wide (the loft is wider than most townhomes in the city and the ceilings are 18' high) it's unusual in a relatively small pre war doorman building. The Loft has EIGHTEEN foot high ceilings & FIFTEEN foot tall windows that OVERLOOK A PARK , There is a WHOLE FOODS MARKET 1 block away. The semi private landing that serves only one other shareholder and it has 20’ high ceilings! The building has a historic & fascinating pedigree along with the large scale rooms rarely found in a residential building . It’s ready for you to make this wide open space exactly how you want it so there will be no redoing someone else’s taste . So bring your contractor. The quietly elegant building retains the intimate club like feel . It’s close to everything ,Chelsea, The Village , Tribeca & SoHo. The Great shopping and museums on the Upper West Side & Upper East Side are just a few short stops away . There is only one like this and they are not building them like this anymore.
