Description

In 1887, proprietor Hugh O'Neill had a dream. The forward thinking businessman envisioned a grand, handsome, block-long department store on a stretch of Sixth Avenue between 20th and 21st Streets - a remarkable destination that would set the standard for a new shopping district. O'Neill's dream was realized as an attractive, cast iron, formidable emporium with a unique pair of large, iconic beehive domes on both ends. Hugh O'Neill's Department Store was known for its grand scale, its convenient location, its soaring ceilings, its impressive entry, its good service, and more. Some things never change. Beautifully converted to loft condominiums in 2006, the O'Neill Lofts is now known for a supreme locale that comes with bragging rights, stunning architecture, friendly service, and stupendous scale. Formerly host to the Rug/Textile department of Hugh O'Neill's Market, this easy-to-love, impressive One Bedroom, Two Bath loft boasts nearly 13-foot ceilings and bright oversized West-facing windows. Its open, built-for-entertaining Chef's Kitchen is centered by an over-sized, marble-topped Dining Bar, premium appliances by Viking and Subzero, and an abundance of gorgeous stone counters and designer cabinetry. The voluminous Living Room is a casually elegant, sunny space with a handsome entertainment center - a generously-scaled room ideal for lounging and relaxing. The Living Room and Kitchen areas of this resplendent residence feature their own full marble Guest Bath, complete with a Washer/Dryer. The Master Suite is worthy of the name. With the same soaring ceilings found in the rest of this luxurious home, with a winning floor-to-ceiling, custom Walk-In Closet, and with an en-suite Marble Bath with soaking tub, the Bedroom bests many top-shelf hotel suites. In this spacious, lofty home whose address is close to every prime Chelsea destination, and which offers access to a planted roof garden with Grilling Area, life is lovely. In 1887, Hugh O'Neill had a dream. The 2011 version of that dream can now be yours.
