Mahali Mwanga Unapoishi

Iliyobadilishwa kwa umakini na mbunifu mashuhuri Elizabeth Roberts, Residence 701 ni loft yenye utulivu na uzuri wa kipekee. Ikiwa imejaa mwanga wa jua unaoingia kupitia madirisha manane makubwa yenye fremu za mwaloni, nyumba hii kwa wakati mmoja ina hisia za kipekee za New York na iko mbali kabisa na msongamano wake—mahali ambapo usanifu uliopangwa kwa uangalifu, vifaa vya asili na mwanga wa ajabu vinaishi kwa uwiano kamili.

Loft hii yenye umuhimu wa kiusanifu ina utulivu wa kina, na inatoa fursa adimu ya kuishi ndani ya mojawapo ya aina za kifahari zisizopitwa na wakati za Manhattan ya katikati ya jiji: mahali pa umaridadi, nafasi pana na uhalisia.

LOFT YA KUVUTIA KAMA FILAMU

Dari zenye urefu wa futi 11 na madirisha makubwa yanayoelekea kusini-magharibi huijaza loft mwanga wa asili siku nzima, huku mandhari zilizo wazi zikielekea Greenwich Village na vilele vya miti vinavyoizunguka Union Square Park. Jua linapopita ndani ya nafasi hii, ukubwa, umbile na uwiano wa loft hujitokeza kwa umaridadi wa utulivu. Sakafu za mbao zenye vibao vipana, mistari safi ya usanifu na mpangilio mpana ulio wazi huunda nyumba inayohisi kuwa yenye msingi thabiti na isiyo na jitihada.

JIKO, BAFU NA MAZINGIRA

Jiko limezungushiwa kaunta maridadi ya marumaru ya Calacatta Viola, na lina vifaa vya kuvutia vikiwemo jiko la Blue Star, mfumo wa kupikia wa PITT, jokofu la Fisher & Paykel na mfumo jumuishi wa kuchuja maji. Bafu mbili zenye mandhari ya spa—moja likiwa na beseni refu la kulowekea na jingine likiwa na bomba kubwa la mvua—zinatoa maficho tulivu dhidi ya jiji lililo nje, huku mfumo wa kiyoyozi cha kati ukiwa umewekwa kwa ustadi ili kuhifadhi uwazi na uadilifu wa usanifu wa loft.

Mlango mkubwa wa kuzunguka unaelekea kwenye chumba cha kulala chenye utulivu na kabati la kuingia ndani. Pia kuna loft ya mezzanine inayoweza kutumika kwa urahisi kama nafasi ya ziada ya kulala au ofisi ya nyumbani.

JENGO

Likiwa limebuniwa na Mbunifu Robert H. Robertson wakati wa enzi ya dhahabu ya usanifu wa majengo ya kifahari, Jengo la McIntyre linadhihirisha umaridadi na matumizi bora ya usanifu wa kibiashara wa mwishoni mwa karne ya 19—likiwa na madirisha makubwa ya viwandani, uwiano mpana na uso wa jengo unaotegemea mpangilio wa kurudiarudia, mtindo na msisitizo wa wima. Wakazi hufurahia mfumo wa mawasiliano wa video wa Carson, pamoja na unyumbufu wa jengo la ushirika linaloruhusu wanyama wa kufugwa.

MAHALI

Ikiwa katika makutano ya Flatiron, Union Square na Greenwich Village, loft hii iko ndani ya mojawapo ya vitongoji vya Manhattan vyenye tabaka nyingi zaidi za usanifu na historia tajiri ya kitamaduni—ikiwa imezungukwa na mikahawa maarufu, Soko pendwa la Wakulima la Union Square, majengo ya kihistoria yenye miundo ya chuma cha kutupwa, na nguvu endelevu ya ubunifu ambayo imefafanua maisha ya katikati ya jiji kwa vizazi.

Hii ni loft iliyoundwa na mwanga, uwiano na hali ya anga—udhihirisho wa kudumu wa New York ya katikati ya jiji katika hali yake ya kimapenzi zaidi.

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.
