Description

This full-floor loft in a boutique Flatiron co-op offers approximately 4,000 square feet of thoughtfully renovated space. With 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a den, media room, office, and library, the layout is designed for both comfort and flexibility. Eighteen oversized windows facing north and south bring in consistent natural light, while original details such as 12-foot beamed ceilings, exposed columns, and oak hardwood floors contribute to the home's distinctive character. Finishes throughout are clean and modern, blending contemporary updates with industrial elements. A keyed elevator opens directly into the loft. The central living space features a large open layout with areas for dining and lounging. An additional room off the main living area, currently configured as a home office, offers flexibility to accommodate a variety of uses. The adjacent kitchen is outfitted with custom cabinetry, stone countertops, a painted brick backsplash, and appliances by Viking, Miele, and Sub-Zero. Additional features include a Miele warming drawer, pot filler, two dishwashers, a wine cooler, and a separate beverage fridge. A laundry room with commercial-grade washer, dryer, and sink is adjacent to the kitchen. The primary suite includes a large walk-in closet, dressing area, and bathroom with double sinks, a soaking tub, and walk-in shower. The second bedroom has an en-suite bath with similar finishes. A third bedroom, additional dressing area, and full bath complete the layout. Other features include a 5-zone Sonos sound system, 3-zone Mitsubishi central air, and dedicated private storage. Monthly charges cover Verizon Fios, gas, and heating. Built in 1912 and converted to an 18-unit co-op in 1978, 32 West 20th Street is located in the Flatiron District, close to public transportation, shopping, dining, and parks including Madison Square, Union Square, and Gramercy.
