LOFTY DREAMS: Rare Top-Floor, Bright, Bi-Level Beauty w/ ~20’ Ceilings & Artful Vibe


PRIZED PERCH In Coveted Historical Building


At the very top of the former General Electric Headquarters, there is a very special home. This big space has been re-imagined and transformed into a voluminous loft — an expansive, soulful atelier that lives bigger and brighter. With an artful vibe and a peaceful spirit, this rare residence is beautifully lit by over-scaled, West-facing windows showcasing neighboring architecture. With peeks of historical detail from its early 20th Century facade, with ceilings soaring to nearly 20 feet, and with handsome hardwood floors underfoot, this vibrant space is beautiful, practical, and surprising.


When you enter this spacious home, you experience a sizable gallery hall, ideal for showcasing art and offering immense floor-to-ceiling closets and storage. Unfolding beyond is the gorgeous great room - the lofted living/dining space sunlit by two grand West-facing windows, and crowned by the bonus upper room. This bit-of-extra is the big bonus of this versatile home. Here is your den, your guest space, your quiet get-away — graced by ~6’ ceilings and even more supreme storage.


The attractive and smart kitchen gives you ample counters and cabinets, full sized appliances, and plenty of pantry space for all of your culinary adventures. The main level bedroom space is a tranquil retreat — an ideal place to recharge and relax — and is served by a big marble bath with an oversized step-in shower. Throughout this feel-good home, there is a fantastic balance of form and function — easy-to-live and so easy-to-love.


With laundry just down the hall (but permitted to be installed in-unit with Board approval), this exciting loft enjoys all the benefits of its well served, convenient address. Just one flight up is the building’s planted roof garden and grill — a soothing al fresco retreat. The door staff is round-the-clock, the Super is live-in, there is central storage, and this pet friendly (under 40 lbs) address offers prime access to every area cultural, dining, shopping, educational, fitness, and entertainment destination.


Nearby neighbors include Madison Square Park, Grand Central Station, Penn Station, Hudson Yards, Gramercy Park, Flatiron and Chelsea. Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Fairway Market, Dover Street Market, the Ritz Carlton NoMad, Equinox, New York Sports Club, Eataly, Scarpetta, Eleven Madison Park, The Morgan Library and much more. A plethora of transportation options abound, including the 6, B, D, F, M, N, Q, R, W and PATH trains, and a multitude of bus lines.
