Opportunity! Private floor. Flatiron Landmark. Loft 5-E, built Circa 1900 is a co-operative. This pristine loft has been cared for by only two artisans for more than 50 years. There is no need to be an artisan, but if you love history and want to create your design, this is the perfect loft is an excellent location. If you love history, this iconic loft is approximately 2800SF/$963pSF. It embodies the ageless character of the original Circa 1900 era. Create your design. Perched on a high floor, loft #5E is a bright, flexible, gracious space ready for you to imprint your very own legacy. The elevator opens to your private floor showcasing the soaring 12-foot+ ceilings with the original ornate tin ceilings anchored by five majestic, silvered cast iron Corinthian columns and the original light maple wood floors. Both the North and South exposures are flanked by 40-foot walls of windows, a total of 10 massive windows. The space is reminiscent of an "art gallery" and at the same time warm and inviting, dripping in old & new New York history. This historic loft was originally recreated from a high-end haberdashery manufacturing space in the early 1900s and has since transitioned into two large bedrooms and two bathrooms (more, if you like!). Currently, there is an open kitchen with an island counter, washer & dryer, laundry area, an alcove windowed home office/exercise or 3rd bedroom, lots of hidden storage, and the grand open living room and dining. Well over 50 years ago, the converted Primary Bedroom with a large Bathroom suite had been elevated on a 4-foot raised platform. Why? Many artists at the time had their paintings, etc., stored under such created floor space. Good news! It was removed by the current owner. The platform in the Primary Bedroom is now conveniently on the original level which showcases the over 12" ceilings. Such Bathroom plumbing is also up-to-code and ready for the new owner's advantage to enhance and design. Currently, the landmark is undergoing an exciting restoration of the front facade with unique 2 Corinthian columns flanking each of the 5 enormous windows (that's 10 columns). Central Air Conditioning is permitted. Here is an opportunity to truly create your very own vision. Bring your imagination along with your favorite Architect, Contractor, and/or Designer.
