Description

A rare opportunity to own this one-of-a-kind, spacious, light-filled Manhattan landmark apartment with expansive skyline views, high ceilings and 15 huge windows lining three sides. Gilded Age elegance meets Warhol’s Downtown in an extraordinary one-bedroom loft in the legendary McIntyre Building, a Flatiron district architectural landmark known by its iconic neo-Gothic tower at the corner of Broadway & East 18th . For anyone who might be interested in a great space, in a perfect location, with dream come true views and authenticity, this special apartment is one of the very few left. The extraordinary living room, with stunning wraparound views, and original architectural details, is lined with oversize windows across three exposures. You’ll have views of the Empire State Building, the Met Life Clock Tower, western sunsets, and classic NY water towers dotting the Flatiron skyline. The apartment itself is so quiet you will never sense the busy city below, creating a sense of being in a world apart. This grand scale room generously accommodates seating areas, dining, office—work and play. It is ideal for entertaining, hanging out, taking Manhattan meetings, making music (no shared walls) plenty of room to dance. All windows open for a heavenly cross breeze. Step outside and you’re one block from Union Square Farmer’s Market, many of New York’s best restaurants, NYU, fabulous architecture, and every major subway line. Everything you need is right there, in the most convenient neighborhood in town The generous, west-facing bedroom has a walk-in and second closet, more windows, more sky. The kitchen and front hall have the original 1890s floor tiles. The uniquely efficient layout creates the privacy of a separate bedroom and kitchen. You will never find another one-bedroom with more storage. There are closets for coats, linens, business files, books and a bar. There is floor-to-ceiling shelving, integrated overhead storage spaces, and discrete office built-ins, creating function and order. As for 70’s pedigree: Warhol’s Factory was practically next door, while The McIntyre housed the infamous Cobra Club, the after-hours club for the rockers, artists, and Warhol entourage after leaving the legendary Max’s Kansas City, down the block. Unlike industrial lofts, the McIntyre was built in 1892 with Gilded Age detail. The magnificent skylit, oval marble staircase echoes the great apartment buildings of Paris. The two-story neo-Gothic tower is a beacon of the Ladies Mile Historic District. After full restoration, including gargoyles, the McIntyre Building was honored with the Preservation Award from the New York Landmarks Conservancy. Layers of cultural and architectural history, magnificent light, space, gracious atmosphere and versatility make Apartment 907 the place to relax, think, create, work, entertain, have a Manhattan meeting, show off, and best of all, call home. Many guests over the past 40 years, (and there have been some interesting names), have marveled and declared it their favorite apartment in New York. You have to see it. The offering includes a hookup and dedicated space for W/D. The floors are recently refinished and the apartment has been freshly painted. Listing courtesy of Compass ...
