Property Description

LIVE IN THE LIGHT 

Highly refined, and deeply serene, this light-filled, architecturally significant loft is a rare opportunity to live with great beauty while overlooking the Flatiron, one of Manhattan’s most desired & storied neighborhoods. Thoughtfully renovated with impeccable skill by renowned architect Elizabeth Roberts, this graceful city flat blends classic New York character with an elevated sense of style to inspired effect.

Seven massive original oak-framed windows offer stunning, long-range views from Union Square Park — home to the beloved farmers market — all the way to the iconic Woolworth Building. The corner exposure also means that sunlight graces the entire space, enhancing its open, effortless design. A spectacular wooden floor takes you into a chefs’ kitchen that is both striking and efficient. Framed by a Calacatta Viola Marble counter and oversized backsplash, the PITT Cooking stove and Blue Star oven are sure to inspire your inner gourmet. A Fisher & Paykel 36” refrigerator, Miele dishwasher and Better Waters filtration system complete this area.

Soaring 12’ ceilings, original architectural details, and a seamless open floor plan are thoughtfully balanced by custom millwork, elegant use of materials, and an emphasis on spatial flow and ease of life. An impressive, oversized pivot door leads into the expansive bedroom, as well as a stylish bathroom with Zuchetti soaking tub, and of course a walk-in closet. The apartment also has one of the most charming mezzanine spaces in town. Currently used for sleeping, it offers  many possibilities. A guest bath with striking pink onyx marble wall and sink is found just downstairs.

At the nexus of downtown living, the romantic neo-Gothic McIntyre Building offers an unparalleled blend of location, Gilded Age grandeur, and a soulful city experience. Just one block away is where Andy Warhol’s Factory made art and shaped culture. In the 1970’s in this very space was a legendary after-hours club called Cobra’s Lair. It's said that cobras can be charmed, but in the case of the loft at Cobra’s Lair, it does all the charming.
