A pre-war loft with unique Gothic charm, this residence at the Cathedral Condominium offers generous proportions and a highly flexible layout. With nearly 15-foot ceilings, classic architectural details, and thoughtful modern updates, the apartment balances historic character with everyday livability.

The apartment spans 760 square feet, with nearly 300 additional square feet of lofted space, offering multiple confirgurations. The layout easily adapts to a variety of living needs while maximizing the home’s impressive proportions.

A gracious vestibule with original terrazzo floors sets the tone upon entry. Just beyond, the space where the original layout’s bedroom was has been opened up, creating the perfect office or den. A staircase leads to a charming sleeping loft featuring a custom-built platform large enough for a queen-sized bed, with comfortable standing height for most.

Also off the vestibule is the beautifully renovated bathroom, finished with carefully curated details that honor the apartment’s Gothic roots. Highlights include Restoration Hardware brass fixtures, classic white subway tile, porcelain wood-grain tile flooring, a Robern hidden medicine cabinet, and a Toto in-wall toilet with washlet
