17 E 16th St Unit 8TH New York, NY 10003

Designed by well known architect, Hugh Newell Jacobsen, this 4000 sq ft loft is a stunning example of tasteful modernism blended with warmth and style.

The elevator opens directly into the loft which occupies the entire 8th floor of the building. Upon exiting the elevator there is a partition creating an entry foyer. This separation creates an aura of surprise as the corner is turned and you find yourself confronted with a sweeping Living/Dining space dominated by five floor-to-ceiling eleven foot high windows facing south with unobstructed city views.

The loft is comprised of 3 generous sized bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms with the bedroom wing separated from the entertaining space by a wide hallway perfect for displaying art . The Master bedroom suite is an oasis of calm with floor to ceiling shutters allowing light and air to penetrate while blocking the industrial view. Each bedroom has been generously outfitted with a wall of closets.

There is a separate windowed office off the living room as well as a separate den/library on the opposite side of the apartment. A fourth bedroom can easily be created from a room sized storage area complete with north facing windows.

The large square kitchen is raised, yet open to the dining area, so one can cook and still engage with guests in the front of the apartment while the raised counter hides the meal's detritus. Additionally, the exhaust fan is vented out so the serious cook can entertain without fearing that odors will impact the loft.

The apartment also boasts a separate laundry room, fabulous storage space and central air conditioning. The air conditioning vents have been cleverly concealed as a design element to blend in seamlessly with the loft's modernist sensibility.

The location is literally steps away from the Union Square Greenmarket and within easy walking distance of Greenwich Village and Chelsea.

This property is truly a loft lover's dream with space to spread out, yet encompassing areas of warmth and coziness.
