Craft your historic loft dream home in this renovation-ready Greenwich Village full-floor residence featuring expansive prewar proportions, jaw-dropping views and intact architectural details in a landmarked cooperative just one block from Union Square.

Soaring ten floors above Broadway, this 3,000 square-foot home makes a remarkable first impression with sky-high ceilings supported by bold columns, original hardwood floors, and 14 enormous arched windows framing wonderful natural light and iconic outlooks. Key-lock elevator entry delivers you directly to a sprawling open living space, perfect for relaxing and entertaining alongside unimpeded views of cotton-candy sunsets, Union Square and the Empire State Building. An adjacent windowed nook with exposed brick is the perfect setting for your gourmet dream kitchen. Meanwhile, the building's wedge shape creates an ideal layout for a private wing with primary and secondary bedrooms and baths, while the western exposure can easily accommodate an additional bedroom suite, a media lounge, or a home office. The only limit is your imagination in this rarely available clean-slate loft.

Designed in 1899 by prolific architect Robert Maynicke, 840 Broadway is a steel-frame building featuring stunning Renaissance Revival ornamentation, including a charming lobby with original terrazzo floors. The beautifully intact historic landmark first housed manufacturing and wholesale businesses associated with the city's vital garment industry, and in the 1970s it was converted to artists" lofts. Today, 840 Broadway constitutes a boutique 12-unit building for luxury residential use that offers a  private intimate retreat from the city, with  video intercom entry, key-locked elevator access and private basement storage. Pets, subletting and pieds-à-terre are permitted with board approval.

Located at the intersection of Union Square, Greenwich Village, Chelsea and Gramercy Park, the home is at the epicenter of exciting Downtown life. Foodies will enjoy immediate access to the city's best year-round greenmarket at Union Square, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, not to mention the area's abundant top-tier restaurants and nightlife venues. Cultural and entertainment offerings abound, with the Strand Books, concert venues, galleries and theaters all nearby. Enjoy effortless transportation with L, N/Q/R/W, 4/5/6, F/M, 1/2/3 and PATH trains, excellent bus service and CitiBikes, all within easy reach.
