6 W 20TH Street #5

Some lofts have the look. This one has the look, the scale, and a brand-new renovation that gets just about everything right. Recently renovated from top to bottom, this approximately 4,100-square-foot full-floor residence at 6 West 20th Street is the kind of authentic New York loft that reminds you why we love them in the first place. Nearly 12-foot ceilings, beautiful natural light, generous proportions, and a private keyed elevator entry. Add exceptional materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and not a renovation decision left to chance, and you have something pretty special.A central gallery opens into an expansive living and dining space flooded with northern and southern light. The Boffi chef's kitchen, with its matching butler's pantry and spectacular Arabescato Orobico Grigio marble island, is a showstopper without trying too hard. Handcrafted glass-and-steel pocket doors open to a separate media room, giving you the flexibility to entertain, escape, or simply close the door on whatever's happening in the rest of the apartment. The primary suite is tucked away from the action, where it belongs. There's a generous walk-in closet and a spa-worthy bath wrapped in book-matched silver travertine, complete with a deep soaking tub, steam shower, sculptural stone vanity, separate water closet, and radiant heated floors. Three additional bedrooms, three more full bathrooms, and a custom black marble powder room mean everyone gets their own space. Always a good thing. And because a beautiful renovation should be more than just a pretty face, the details go well beyond the obvious. Ten-inch-wide custom-milled white oak floors, bespoke laundry room millwork, custom closet interiors, and newly constructed walls with acoustic insulation make this home as comfortable and quiet as it is gorgeous. Yes, you can have loft living without hearing every little thing your neighbors are doing. The technology is equally well considered: a museum-quality warm-dim LED lighting plan, Lutron lighting controls and motorized shades, Sonos-enabled audio, six-zone central HVAC with humidity control, and even a concealed cinema screen in the primary bedroom. Because if you're going to do a renovation, do it properly. Set in a discreet pre-war co-op in the heart of the Flatiron District, 6 West 20th Street puts Whole Foods, Eataly, excellent restaurants, shopping, and transit right where you want them: close by. The building is pet-friendly and thoughtfully managed, with the historic character of old New York and the modern infrastructure to make living here a pleasure. A true New York loft, beautifully reimagined from top to bottom. All the character you want, all the comforts you need, and not a thing left on the to-do list.
