Description

Welcome to 6C, a Scandinavian dreamscape in the Dimes Square neighborhood's most iconic pre-war condominium, The Forward Building. Renovated to perfection in 2018 by Swedish architect Solveig Fernlund, this enormous 1 BR/2 BA is a study in warm minimalism and elegant restraint, and easily convertible to a spacious 2 BR/2 BA.

Beyond the natural light afforded by ten eastern and southern exposures, this exceptional home features a host of premium details, to include 9 3/4 inch-wide Dinesen Douglas fir floors, 11-foot ceilings, views of iconic downtown architecture and so much more.

Through the main entry corridor, you pass ample storage closets, an in-unit washer/dryer repository, and a full guest bath, eventually arriving at the primary suite. Spacious and inspiring, it features a chic dressing area with custom walnut storage and three huge, south-facing windows equipped with electric blinds that unveil views of the Freedom Tower, the domed rooftop tempietto of 9 Orchard and Herzog & de Meuron's Jenga Building--also visible from the windowed, ensuite bath.

In keeping with the apartment's understated allure is a beautifully simple Poliform kitchen with a large, white oak island, generous storage, and Miele, Küpperbusch, and Sub-Zero appliances. But the real statement is made in the dramatic dining/living space. Perfect for entertaining with a width of 27', it boasts seven massive windows that capture Dumbo, the Manhattan Bridge, the Church of St. Teresa, the Woolworth Building, charming water towers, and plenty of blue skies. Other features of this exciting offering include a ducted central Nest A/C system, Toto washlet toilets, and deeded storage in the basement.

At the base of Seward Park, the Forward Building has long been regarded as an under-the-radar treasure in lower Manhattan. Constructed in 1912, this luxury boutique condo features 29 loft-style apartments, a full-time doorman and concierge, a roof deck, bike storage, cold storage, and laundry in the basement. The Metrograph movie theater, Nine Orchard Hotel, and downtown hotspots such as Casino, Cervo's, Le Dive, Kiki's, and salty favorite 169 Bar are within a few blocks, as are the F train and the J,M, and Z,B, and D.
