Introducing an exceptional 2,000-square-foot loft in the heart of Flatiron, featuring two bedrooms, a separate home office, two full bathrooms, and expansive living and entertaining space. Soaring 12-foot ceilings, oversized south-facing windows, and hardwood floors define the residence, creating an impressive sense of scale and natural light. The sprawling great room comfortably accommodates multiple living and dining areas, offering exceptional flexibility for both everyday living and entertaining. The open kitchen features extensive cabinetry, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a substantial center island. Thoughtfully designed for maximum storage and functionality, all lower kitchen cabinets feature pull-out drawers, with additional drawer storage in the island. Two generously proportioned bedrooms are complemented by a separate home office and two full bathrooms with stone finishes, including a soaking tub and separate shower. Eight oversized closets provide exceptional storage throughout the residence. Additional features include an in-unit vented washer and dryer and a supplemental heating and cooling system. Central steam heat and hot water are included in the rent, while the independently controlled cooling system can also provide supplemental heat during seasonal transitions or as a backup to the building's primary heating system. Ideally situated in the Flatiron District, the residence is moments from Madison Square Park, Union Square, exceptional dining, shopping, and convenient transportation. A rare opportunity to enjoy the space, character, and versatility of authentic downtown loft living in one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods.
