Midtown South, meet Miami flair! This studio loft is New York living at its finest!
Double height windows and spacious great room immediately greets visitors upon entering the home – with those massive windows and 13.5’ ceilings, natural light fills the space and illuminates its most stunning features. The exposed barrel vaulted ceilings are one-of-a-kind, and perfectly complement the original hardwood floors. Ideally located in vibrant Midtown, it is an easy walk to Nomad, Koreatown, and Murray Hill, and every train line is nearby to get anywhere in the city!
This listing is truly unique, thanks to extensive renovations undertaken by the former owner, a third-generation artist and collector whose eclectic taste made this home exceptionally vibrant and lovely! The cozy sleeping loft is accessible via custom stairs off the foyer, and features the original brick vaulted ceilings, lighting, and a massive 20-foot deep storage closet. Bright, beautifully colored South Florida-style tile adorns the kitchen and a living room column, and conveniently located built-ins plus plenty of wall space (thanks again, high ceilings!) give ample opportunities to display works of art, knick-knacks, books, plants, and more. The partially enclosed sleeping alcove on the main floor can be expanded or used as a separate dining area. Creative types looking to curate a cool, stylish, ultra-personalized pad should look no further – 5J is perfect for you!
