Kung Saan Naninirahan ang Liwanag

Maingat na binago ng kinikilalang arkitekto na si Elizabeth Roberts, ang Residence 701 ay isang loft na kapansin-pansin ang kapanatagan at kagandahan. Naliligo sa sikat ng araw mula sa walong malalaking bintanang may balangkas na kahoy na oak, ang tahanan ay kapwa malinaw na New York at lubos na hiwalay sa tindi nito—isang lugar kung saan nagkakaroon ng ganap na balanse ang maingat na disenyo, likas na materyales, at pambihirang liwanag.

Ang loft na ito, na may natatanging kahalagahang arkitektural, ay hitik sa katahimikan at nag-aalok ng pambihirang pagkakataong mamuhay sa loob ng isa sa pinakawalang-panahong anyo ng karangyaan sa downtown Manhattan: isang lugar ng kariktan, lawak, at pagiging tunay.

ISANG LOFT NA PARANG NASA PELIKULA

Ang matatayog na kisameng may taas na 11 talampakan at malalaking bintanang nakaharap sa timog-kanluran ay nagpapasok ng likas na liwanag sa buong araw, habang ang malalawak na tanawin ay umaabot patungo sa Greenwich Village at sa mga tuktok ng punong nakapaligid sa Union Square Park. Habang gumagalaw ang araw sa loob ng espasyo, tahimik na lumilitaw ang lawak, tekstura, at mga proporsyon ng loft. Ang malalapad na sahig na kahoy, malilinis na linyang arkitektural, at maluwang na bukás na ayos ay lumilikha ng tahanang kapwa nakapagpapakalma at walang kahirap-hirap.

KUSINA, BANYO AT KAPALIGIRAN

Nababalutan ang kusina ng maringal na countertop na marmol na Calacatta Viola, at pinaiigting ng kapansin-pansing oven na Blue Star, cooking system na PITT, refrigerator na Fisher & Paykel, at pinagsamang sistema ng pagsasala ng tubig. Ang dalawang banyong parang spa—ang isa ay may malalim na bathtub para sa pagbabad at ang isa nama’y may malaki at rain shower—ay nag-aalok ng payapang kanlungan mula sa lungsod sa labas, habang maingat na inilagay ang central air upang mapanatili ang kaluwagan at integridad ng arkitektura ng loft.

Isang malaking pivot door ang patungo sa payapang silid-tulugan na may walk-in closet. May mezzanine loft din na maaaring gamitin bilang karagdagang tulugan o tanggapan sa bahay.

ANG GUSALI

Dinisenyo ng arkitektong si Robert H. Robertson noong ginintuang panahon ng arkitekturang Gilded Age, taglay ng McIntyre Building ang kariktan at gamit ng komersiyal na disenyo noong huling bahagi ng ika-19 na siglo—may malalaking industriyal na bintana, masaganang mga proporsyon, at harapang nakaugat sa ritmo, istilo, at patayong anyo. Tinatamasa ng mga residente ang Carson video intercom at ang kalayaang manirahan kasama ang mga alagang hayop sa isang pet-friendly na kooperatiba.

ANG LOKASYON

Matatagpuan sa sangandaan ng Flatiron, Union Square, at Greenwich Village, ang loft ay nasa isa sa mga kapitbahayan ng Manhattan na pinakamasalimuot ang mga patong ng arkitektura at pinakamasagana ang kasaysayang pangkultura—napaliligiran ng mga bantog na restawran, minamahal na Union Square Farmer’s Greenmarket, mga makasaysayang gusaling cast-iron, at ang walang-kupas na malikhaing enerhiya na humubog sa pamumuhay sa downtown sa loob ng maraming salinlahi.

Isa itong loft na hinubog ng liwanag, proporsyon, at atmospera—isang pangmatagalang pagpapahayag ng downtown New York sa pinakamaromantikong anyo nito.

Where Light Lives
Thoughtfully transformed by acclaimed architect Elizabeth Roberts, Residence 701 is a loft of remarkable calm and beauty. Bathed in sunlight from eight oversized oak-framed windows, the home feels at once distinctly New York and entirely removed from its intensity—a place where carefully considered design, natural materials, and extraordinary light exist in perfect balance.

This architecturally significant loft is deeply serene, and offers a rare opportunity to live inside one of downtown Manhattan’s most timeless forms of luxury: a place of elegance, volume and authenticity.

A CINEMATIC LOFT
Soaring 11-foot ceilings and oversized south western-facing windows flood the loft with natural light throughout the day, while open views stretch toward Greenwich Village and the treetops surrounding Union Square Park. As the sun moves through the space, the loft’s scale, texture, and proportions reveal themselves with quiet elegance. Wide-plank wood floors, clean architectural lines, and an expansive open layout create a home that feels both grounding and effortless.

KITCHEN, BATH AND ENVIRONMENT
The kitchen is framed by a magnificent Calacatta Viola marble countertop, and anchored by a striking Blue Star oven, PITT cooking system, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, and an integrated water filtration system. Two spa-like baths, one with a deep soaking tub and one with oversized rain shower offer a calming retreat from the city beyond, while central air is discreetly placed to preserve the loft’s openness and architectural integrity.

An oversized pivot door leads to the peaceful bedroom with walk-in closet. There is also a mezzanine loft that provides flexibility as an additional sleeping space, or home office.

THE BUILDING
Designed by Architect Robert H. Robertson during the golden age of gilded age architecture, the McIntyre Building embodies the elegance and utility of late 19th-century commercial design—with oversized industrial windows, generous proportions, and a façade rooted in rhythm, style and verticality. Residents enjoy the Carson video intercom, and the flexibility of a pet-friendly co-op.

THE LOCATION
Positioned at the crossroads of Flatiron, Union Square, and Greenwich Village, the loft sits within one of Manhattan’s most architecturally layered and culturally storied neighborhoods—surrounded by celebrated restaurants, the beloved Union Square Farmer's Greenmarket, historic cast-iron buildings, and the enduring creative energy that has defined downtown living for generations.

This is a loft shaped by light, proportion, and atmosphere—an enduring expression of downtown New York at its most romantic.
