Some apartments ask you to live within them. This one asks what you want to become.

Apartment 827 at The Silk Building is a true architectural duplex - a genuine two-floor loft residence with 10'5" beamed ceilings, 42 feet of open great room, and the kind of raw, light-soaked volume that simply cannot be built today. North and South exposures bring in daylight from morning to evening, framing protected landmark views across two of downtown Manhattan's most coveted streetscapes.

The lower level anchors the home with a tranquil bedroom suite, generous closets, and a newly renovated bath. A sliding glass door would make the first floor space a private bedroom space. A custom-designed staircase - itself a sculptural element - ascends to the upper great room: an expanse of polished oak floors and dramatic beamed ceiling that functions equally as a gallery, a workspace, an entertainer's stage, or a future second bedroom suite. The wood-burning fireplace centers the open kitchen, where Italian blue cabinetry, a butcher-block island, and vented stainless-steel appliances reward the cook without sacrificing aesthetics.

For the buyer with vision: Most comparable residences in this line have been converted to two-bedroom, two-bath configurations. The upper great room's footprint accommodates a second bedroom and ensuite bath with ease - creating a two-bed, two-bath duplex at a fraction of the cost of buying one. Build it out on your timeline, to your spec.
Thoughtful built-ins, under-stair storage, custom European lighting, and a curated material palette throughout make this a home that is already exceptional - and a canvas that rewards ambition.

The building:
Originally a silk factory built in 1908, The Silk Building was reimagined as a full-service condominium in 1983 and has remained one of downtown Manhattan's true cultural addresses. The building offers 24-hour concierge, a live-in superintendent, laundry on every floor, and a beautifully landscaped roof deck with panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline.

The location:
At the precise intersection of NoHo, SoHo, and Greenwich Village - an address that places you within steps of the city's finest restaurants, boutiques, and institutions. Washington Square Park, NYU, and The New School are moments away. The N/R, 6, B/D/F/M, and 4/5 trains are all within a few blocks, connecting you to the rest of the city in minutes.
