Located just a few short blocks from famed Madison Square Park and The Ladies Mile Historic District, you'll be living in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Manhattan. The heart of the Gilded Age New York, this neighborhood features extraordinary Beaux-Arts architecture and was the location of some of New York's most famous department stores in the mid to late 1800's. Lord & Taylor, Best & Co, and Bergdorf Goodman made this area so popular that it was dubbed "The Ladies Mile" as it was frequented by the fashionable ladies of the era who were able to shop for the first time unaccompanied by men. This is also the home of Daniel H. Turnham's famous Flatiron Building with it's name being coined due to it's unique architecture on a triangular block. This building is perfectly located at the epicenter of 5th Avenue's lower Fashion District with an abundance of home and design havens like ABC Carpet & Home, clothing and boutique shops such as Anthropologie and Coach, as well as many specialty item stores. Flatiron is synonymous with some of the top dining in New York City, with top players Eleven Gramercy Park, ABC Kitchen, Gramercy Tavern and the famous indoor piazza, Eataly. Nightlife in this vibrant neighborhood includes The Gansevoort Park Avenue, Flatiron Lounge, 40/40 Club, and The Jazz standard. For the home chef, Trader Joe's is just a block away, and both Whole Foods and Fairway are easy walking. Public transportation is a dream with access to a multitude of train lines including the 4, 5, 6, L, F, M, N, R, W and PATH trains. For these reasons, Flatiron is one of the most sought after neighborhoods in the city. This location cannot be beat.

The building will allow personal residential use of the unit as either a primary or secondary home, pied-a-terres allowed. Purchase policies are flexible upon board review, but buyers should show strong financials with liquidity for both renovation and housing payments after closing.
