Located in the Flatiron District just off Madison Square Park at 35 West 23rd Street, this 3,400-square-foot, full-floor home checks all the boxes for classic Manhattan loft living. Asking $5,495,000, the sprawling space comes with the condo convenience lacking in the city’s pre-war lofts. As an added perk, there’s a balcony for a dose of outdoor enjoyment. All the good stuff is there, including ceilings of nearly 14 feet, tall cast-iron columns, and 10-foot-high windows. Spanning the building’s entire third floor, the space is currently configured with two bedrooms and internal sleeping and office rooms, but an alternate floor plan shows the ease with which it can be made into a four-bedroom home.
Modern design and comfort features have not been forgotten: The condo offers central air conditioning, all-new windows, and an alarm system to complement the wide-plank white oak floors, exposed brick and bespoke doors, and walls of steel and glass. The home begins in true loft style with direct keyed elevator access. The sprawling living and dining space spans the unit’s entire 42-foot width.
Open sight lines mean the entire space is filled with light from a southern exposure. Beyond the living area through steel-framed glass is the balcony, perfect for an urban garden.
The loft-style open kitchen is a dream for anyone who loves to cook or entertain. Custom zinc worktops complement maple millwork. Appliances include Smeg wall ovens and a cooktop with a vented hood, a Subzero refrigerator, and a Miele Dishwasher. There’s plenty of storage to keep the clean loft lines free of visual clutter.
The oversized primary bedroom is divided by a sliding metal-clad door to provide a space for use as a home office, sitting, or dressing room. Bathrooms feature radiant heat floors and designer details like Duravit, Geberit, and Barber Wilson fixtures, faucets, and hardware.
There are two additional sleeping areas, enhanced by exposed brick walls. There is plenty of closet space throughout, plus lofted storage. In addition, there is an adjacent 200-square-foot storage space with a full-size washer and dryer. An alternate floor plan shows the creation of a private laundry room in addition to four full bedrooms.
Constructed in 1879, the landmarked building has the kind of industrial-era charm that’s so elusive in the city today, without sacrificing modern apartment convenience. The pet-friendly building offers residents a full-time doorman, porter services, a gym, a newly renovated lobby, a video intercom system, and a common roof deck.
