36 E 22nd Street #2

The wow factor begins at “hello” in this dramatic full floor, pre-war loft. With soaring 13+/- foot ceilings, a gas burning fireplace and a wall of windows facing Flatiron’s most coveted block, this residence is situated just steps away from Madison Square Park. The keyed lock elevator opens directly into this sprawling 2-bedroom, 3-bath home with a home office that can easily function as guest room or den. Oversized casement windows adorn the living and dining room and perfectly frame the picturesque views of the quiet, tree-lined street. The chef’s kitchen has superiorly designed cabinetry by Eggersmann as well as ample counterspace with top-of-the-line appliances including a Liebherr refrigerator, a Viking 6-burner stove, Miele dishwasher and a Liebherr wine cooler. In addition, there is extended counter-top dining for a more casual setting and further prep space. The tranquil primary suite is thoughtfully located away from the entertaining areas and faces south to a peaceful, green garden wall. Well-appointed walk-in closets provide smart storage and lead directly to the en-suite bathroom featuring an oversized soaking tub, separate shower and a dual vanity. There is another well-proportioned bedroom with en-suite bath as well as a home office and third full bathroom located just across the hall. Other prominent features include 5” Danish black oak flooring, an in-unit washer and dryer, custom lighting, multi-zoned central air, and Thermopane windows. The Story House is a boutique, 8-unit condominium building built circa 1901. It is aptly named not only for its luxury style, but for its perfectly distinguished loft-like characteristics and pre-war charm. Amenities include a 24-hour virtual doorman for monitoring package delivery, a supremely attentive super and a beautiful lobby.
