Unlock the potential to create your dream home in this spectacular artist’s loft. Lovingly occupied by an artist for over 40 years, this expansive space is ready for a new vision. Currently configured as a one-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom, it can easily be reimagined into a two-bedroom + office, with two full baths. A recently executed floorplan on a different floor in the building showcases the possibilities.
Enter this full-floor residence via a key-locked elevator and immediately feel the potential. The 13-foot ceilings and 10-foot windows flood the space with natural light, highlighting the incredible volume and potential of the loft.
Originally built in 1900 as a button factory, 14-16 East 17th Street is a well-managed co-op featuring a wonderful part-time super. This sale includes a sizable private storage unit in the basement. Additionally, the co-op owns the street-level retail spaces, generating income for shareholders. Enjoy extremely low maintenance fees, supplemented by periodic distributions from the retail component (amounts vary).
Located in the heart of Union Square/Flatiron, 16 East 17th Street is a short walk from Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, the Union Square Greenmarket, and some of the city’s best dining and shopping. With easy access to transportation, the Union Square subway station is just around the corner.
This is a unique opportunity to create a dream home in the heart of downtown Manhattan. Photos are virtually staged.
