12 W 17th St Unit 11THFLR New York, NY 10011

Once in a rare while, a truly exceptional home graces these pages, turning heads and melting hearts. This is that home. Lovingly renovated from top to bottom and from side to side, everything inside of this luxurious loft has been reinvented, re-crafted, and renewed. Profiled in Elle Dcor, this sprawling, supremely proportioned residence - with its dramatic city-scape and Empire State building views - elevates loft living to an entirely new level. Here, form keenly melds with function, and a bright, smart, handsome home, featuring two dramatic exposures and a fantastically flexible floor plan, is the beautiful result. Easily able to capture three sizeable bedrooms and a den (see alternate plan), this inspiring residence was designed as a remarkably scaled two bedroom home - a voluminous, well-crafted loft with sun-filled space to spare. A keyed-elevator (with custom expansion doors for large deliveries) ushers you onto this high, full-floor loft's private landing - a well crafted entre with inlaid rug and large custom front closet. The entrance gallery flows flawlessly into the Living and Dining rooms - perfectly scaled spaces ideal for entertaining and boasting bright, open, postcard worthy views of rooftops, skyscrapers, water-towers and the Empire State Building. The soaring ceilings, custom art lighting, and plethora of windows in these rooms (and throughout this large loft), provide the space with a compelling grandeur. Bedroom two is currently used as an elegant Library with designer adjustable shelves and an extra-deep, full height closet wall wired for all electronic components. By putting back a simple wall, this big beauty - served by an attractive full Guest Bath with Thassos marble walls and shower with frameless glass door - can be reclaimed as the bedroom that it is intended to be. The open Kitchen - with its handsome Staron-clad prep/dining island, custom walk-in pantry, Gaggenau gas cooktop and grill (externally vented by its Miele hood), Miele Speed Oven and warming drawer, Subzero refrigerator and wine fridge, Fisher & Paykel Dishwasher drawers, USA Illumination lighting, trash compactor, disposal, and fixtures/hardware by Hafele and Axor - is a Chef's trophy indeed. The Master Bedroom is a sight to behold - a luxurious oasis that is both comfortable and inspiring. With its oversized Dressing Room boasting Poliform fitted closets outfitted with gorgeous full-height walnut doors, a safe, and electric outlets; with its floor-to-ceiling trio of Landmarks approved, South-facing French door windows offering all day sunshine and open, dramatic city views; and with its unique Modulighter Minilux Wallwasher Art Lights, this king sized Master Suite is worthy of the name. The Master Bathroom is a super spa in its own right. Warmly enveloped in book-matched, full-height slabs of Bianco Ondulare marble, and offering a walk-in shower and freestanding WetStyle Ove Collection Bathtub, NuHeat heated floor system, deep Robern medicine cabinets, Rinnai tankless, on-demand water heating system, DaVinci Saratoga line fixtures, and walk-in laundry and storage rooms, this is a bath suite that comes with bragging rights. Off of the magnificent Master Suite is a soulful solarium - a flexible sun-filled Den with a duo of South-facing French door windows, limed oak walls, bronze counter with under mount fridge, integral shelving, and black Kirby stone floor. This sunny solarium would transform beautifully into an additional sleeping space (see alternate plan). Throughout this glorious loft are new adjustable radiators, multi-zoned Central AC, concealed sprinklers, custom Theophile hardware, all new electrical system (3-phase 100 amp service), AV cabling, flexible art hanging system, new CitiQuiet windows with low-E glass, smoke alarm system, solid-core full height doors, recessed baseboards, Sonos multi-zone sound system with hidden speakers/subwoofer, and more - all in a pet-friendly, boutique 11-unit building with dedicated storage and a supreme location. Here, with the famous Union Square Greenmarket and a plethora of top restaurants and shops close by, dining, shopping, and transportation options reign supreme. A few blocks in any direction from this home finds you in the heart of the Village, Flatiron, Gramercy, Chelsea, or Meatpacking neighborhoods. Once in a rare while, a real head-turner and heart-melter comes along. This lovingly customized loft is your exceptional opportunity to live artfully.
