This classic open loft has 2 baths & is easily convertible into a luxury 2 or 3 bed apt.. Dramatic, stylish & flexible, this floor through space is 23 ft. wide, 86 ft. deep, w/ 11ft. soaring ceilings, this live-work friendly loft (board approval required) has been an art studio as well as a wonderful home. It is perfect for entertaining large parties or intimate dinners – with clean, elegant modern lines emphasizing the openness of modern loft living. Beautiful wide plank oak floors throughout. The thoughtfully designed, open chef’s kitchen is stylishly finished with sleek black galaxy granite counters and a massive breakfast bar. High gloss grey cabinets outfitted with stainless steel appliances – including touches such as a Bosch 5 burner stove and wine fridge. Next to the kitchen is a top of the line full-size washer and dryer. There are two bathrooms – one is custom designed in spa-like monochrome black and white with Kohler and Grohe fixtures including a deep soaking tub and rain shower, all competed by a grey slate radiant-heated floor and independent towel warmer.Ten huge windows surround the space providing three exposures of light. With this incredibly flexible space, you can enjoy it just as it is or let your (and your architect’s) imagination run wild if you wish to reconfigure the space to create your dream home. There are so many options (with board approval of course). This is a small, friendly, relaxed co-op with easy board approval and a flexible sublet policy. The building is pied-a-terre and pet friendly, complete with a new video security system and new key-locked elevator. The building’s roof is being replaced this spring and the faade is being cleaned and restored. It will look spectacular. The building also benefits from a highly regarded super who accepts packages on behalf of residents during the day.Ideally located in a boutique 1910 loft building, steps from Fifth Avenue and beautiful Bryant Park with its year-round events and Equinox and the soon-to-arrive Wholefoods. Located right in the best part of the old Garment District, you can live the high life at the nearby restaurants and rooftop bars. And the famous Keen’s Steakhouse is just around the corner.As usual all alterations need Board Approval.
