Description

Absolutely thrilled to announce that the private floor of Loft 5-E in the Circa 1900 Landmark Flatiron building is back on the market. LOFT LOVERS, if you love history, you'll fall in love here. This iconic loft with approximately 2800SF embodies the ageless character of the original Circa 1900 era. Perched on a high floor, loft #5E is bright, flexible, gracious and ready for you to imprint your own legacy. Step into the Circa 1900 landmark Flatiron building located on 18th Street between Broadway & Fifth Avenue. There are TWO entrances. Take the keyed-elevator to enter your private floor, Loft 5-E located at 22 East 18th Street. The elevator opens into a wide expansive space with a generous open full floor-through with extraordinary light and privacy. During the last 50 years, only two artistic residents have occupied this space with 'TLC'. The pristine 'white box' has been lovingly restored. The elevator opens into the loft exposing the soaring 12-foot+ original tin ceilings anchored by five majestic, silvered cast iron Corinthian columns and the original light maple wood floors. Both North and South are flanked by 40-foot walls of windows. The space is reminiscent of an 'art gallery' and at the same time warm and inviting, dripping in old & new New York history. The pristine 5E loft had been originally re-created from a high-end haberdashery manufacturing space in the early 1900s into two+ large bedrooms and two bathrooms (more, if you like), an open kitchen with an island counter, washer & dryer laundry area, a windowed home-office/exercise or 3rd bedroom alcove, lots of hidden storage, and the grand open living room and dining. Well over 50 years ago, the converted Primary Bedroom with a large Bathroom suite had been elevated on a 4-foot raised platform. Why? Many artisan at the time had their paintings, etc. stored under such created floors space. Good news! It was removed for the current owner's intended new renovations. The removed platform is now conveniently on one level. Such bathroom plumbing is also up-to-code and ready for the new owner's advantage to enhance and design. A Central Air Conditioning system may be installed. Here is an opportunity to truly create your very own vision. Bring your imagination along with your favorite Architect, Contractor, and/or Designer.
