INTRODUCING A BRIAN K. LEWIS EXCLUSIVE AT COMPASS. PLEASE CONTACT BRIAN K. LEWIS & ASSOCIATES FOR SHOWINGS.

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.

Pied-a-terres, one party purchasing for another, guarantors, and gifting permitted case-by-case. Subletting allowed (after 2 years of residency) with board consent.

(All measurements and dimensions are approximate, and all information should be confirmed by buyer.)

  • Ms. N. W.
    "This is a highly congested area. Midtown, NYC. Towards Hudson Yards you begin to see younger families. There is the Hugh Line. Just a very congested area. "
  • Melissa S. F.
    "It’s not really a neighborhood to live in unless you’re visiting from out of town or go to one of the fashion schools around the way. "
  • Monica G.
    "There's no really good supermarket in the area. It's very commercial. The area caters more to business workers than families so there isn't great restaurants, but there are good bars. "
  • Trulia User
    "I don’t know of any community events in this area. It’s mostly businesses and public transportation. "
  • Errolwindham
    "Very busy part of the city. Just be prepared for much hustle and bustle. It wouldn’t be ideal for raising a family. Needs to have more spaces with h greenery. "
  • Richard R
    "There are some good schools nearby. For outdoor space, the closest is probably Madison square park on 25th Street. The NY public library is also great for kids. "
  • Jaclynpwilliams
    "No parks in the immediate area. Very busy streets with lots of crowds of tourists or commuters so i imagine it would be difficult to walk a dog "
  • vincent46882
    "Dogs would like living where I’m at now, because for one thing most of the houses here all have huge back yard space. There lots of space if walking one or more of your dogs since we don’t have restrictive sidewalks, just wide opened paved space where ever you’d go in the morning or usually sunny afternoons. "
  • Jaclynpwilliams
    "It’s very loud but close to transportation hubs, entertainment venues, and food options. Mixture of tourists and locals "
  • Jaclynpwilliams

  • Cesar V.
    "I'm living here currently. Good location but the tourist traffic gets old quick. Really close to Subway station."
  • Bryna k.
    "Lots of walkable stores and restaurants, Chelsea Market, and close to the High Line Park. Good public transport too."
  • Susan R.
    "I have an apartment that I use occasionally in this area. Love the area for the most part and would recommend living here. "
  • J t.
    "I actually live in Brooklyn, I work in this busy area. Ideally would like a place similar to this area but in Brooklyn. "
