Grandly scaled living spaces combine with inspiring ceiling heights and light-filled interiors in this pristine 2,989sf corner loft at Flatiron's historic O'Neill Building, beautifully reimagined in 2007 by award-winning architectural firm CetraRuddy. The 3-bed, 3.5 bath residence is distinguished by its thoughtful layout and volume of space, including the dramatic 950sf turreted great room and elegant foyer where you are first introduced to the magnificence of this spectacular home.
Illuminated by 28 oversized windows set against unique views of the cityscape to the north, east and west, the residence is remarkably livable with its generous proportions and perfectly scaled entertaining spaces. The enormous great room offers three seating areas including a formal dining area just off the windowed, eat-in kitchen. Outfitted with premium Viking appliances and black granite counters, the chef's kitchen is adjacent to a large pantry and full-sized laundry room. Anchored by the grand foyer are the powder bath and two double storage closets. Wide-plank american walnut hardwoods and original cast iron columns warm the interiors and accentuate the architecture.
The corner master suite is the ideal sanctuary with its gracious proportions, huge custom walk-in closet, city views to the north and west, and windowed, spa-like en suite bath featuring a soaking tub, separate shower, marble top dual vanity, and marble floors.
