Fursa kama hii hujitokeza mara chache huko Flatiron. Unit 2 katika 6 West 20th Street ni loft inayochukua ghorofa nzima, yenye takribani futi za mraba 4,100, ndani ya The Greenwich Building, jengo la kihistoria la mwaka 1907 lililobuniwa na Schwartz & Gross, lililo katikati ya Wilaya ya Kihistoria ya Ladies’ Mile. Hii ni nafasi ya kununua loft halisi ya ghorofa nzima katika mojawapo ya maeneo yanayotafutwa sana Manhattan, kuikarabati kulingana kabisa na ladha yako, na kuongeza thamani kubwa katika mchakato huo.

Loft hiyo tayari ina jiko linalofanya kazi na bafu 1.5. Sehemu iliyobaki ni eneo kubwa lililo wazi, tayari kutekeleza maono yako. Dari zenye urefu wa futi 14 na madirisha makubwa ya awali yanayozunguka kwenye mhimili wake hujaza ghorofa hiyo mwanga wa kaskazini na kusini, na kuipa nafasi hiyo ujazo na haiba inayotambulisha maisha ya kawaida ya loft za kabla ya vita. Ikiwa na takribani futi 50 za upana wa mbele na mpangilio wa sakafu mpana na wa kawaida, inaweza kutoshea kwa urahisi vyumba vinne vya kulala pamoja na ofisi ya nyumbani, huku ikiwa na eneo kubwa la kuishi na la kulia chakula, pamoja na chumba kikuu kilichoundwa kwa ajili ya kuburudisha wageni.

Loft hiyo pia ina takribani futi za mraba 300 za eneo binafsi la nje, kipengele adimu kwa nyumba inayochukua ghorofa nzima huko Flatiron. Fikiria kahawa ya asubuhi, chakula cha jioni wakati wa kiangazi, au bustani ya mimea yenye utulivu iliyo karibu kabisa na eneo lako la kuishi.

Mlete mkandarasi na mbunifu wako ili kujenga nyumba ya ndoto zako. Kwa kuwa ghorofa hiyo iko wazi kabisa, unaweza kubuni nyumba yako karibu kuanzia mwanzo—kuanzia idadi ya vyumba vya kulala hadi kila aina ya umaliziaji. Mipangilio inayoruhusu maeneo yenye maji kuwekwa juu ya maeneo yasiyo na maji inaruhusiwa, hivyo kukupa uhuru wa kweli wa kuweka jikoni na mabafu mahali panapofaa zaidi kwa mpango wako, badala ya kulazimishwa na mpangilio wa jengo.

Faida yake iko wazi. Ghorofa nzima iliyokarabatiwa hivi karibuni, yenye ukubwa na mpangilio sawa ndani ya jengo hili, kwa sasa inauzwa kwa dola 8,500,000 (bila eneo la nje). Wanunuzi wanaotaka kuunda nyumba maalum kulingana na matakwa yao na wakati huo huo kujenga thamani kubwa ya mali wataweza kwa shida kupata mahali bora pa kuanzia katika eneo la katikati ya Manhattan.

Unit hii kwa sasa imeidhinishwa kutumika kibiashara; hata hivyo, bodi ya ushirika wa umiliki wa jengo imethibitisha kwamba inaunga mkono kubadilishwa kwa unit hii kuwa ya makazi na inahimiza kikamilifu mabadiliko hayo, kufuatia ghorofa nyingi zilizo juu ambazo tayari zimefanya mabadiliko hayo. Hii ni njia iliyozoeleka na iliyoimarika ndani ya jengo, si jambo la kipekee.

The Greenwich Building ni jengo la ushirika wa umiliki la mtindo wa Neo-Renaissance, lenye ghorofa 11, facade ya kuvutia iliyotambuliwa kama ya kihistoria, na nyumba chache tu. Wakazi wanafurahia matumizi ya lifti kwa ufunguo hadi kwenye ghorofa yao, lifti mbili, mhudumu wa mlango wa mtandaoni wa ButterflyMX, pamoja na sera rafiki kwa wanyama vipenzi.

Likiwa karibu tu na Fifth Avenue, kwenye mojawapo ya mitaa mizuri zaidi ya Flatiron, jengo hili linakuweka hatua chache kutoka Madison Square Park, Union Square na soko lake la Greenmarket, Eataly, pamoja na baadhi ya mikahawa na maduka bora zaidi jijini. Kituo cha Citi Bike kiko moja kwa moja upande wa pili wa barabara, na njia za treni ya chini ya ardhi katika 23rd Street na Union Square ziko umbali mfupi wa kutembea.

Nunua, karabati, na ujenge nyumba ya ndoto zako, ukiwa na thamani halisi iliyojengeka tangu siku ya kwanza.

Opportunities like this rarely come up in Flatiron. Unit 2 at 6 West 20th Street is a full-floor loft of approximately 4,100 square feet in The Greenwich Building, a 1907 Schwartz & Gross landmark in the heart of the Ladies' Mile Historic District. Here is the chance to buy a true full-floor loft in one of Manhattan's most sought-after neighborhoods, renovate it to your exact taste, and build significant value along the way.

The loft already has a working kitchen and 1.5 baths. The rest is a vast, open space ready for your vision. Soaring 14-foot ceilings and giant original pivot windows fill the floor with north and south light, giving the space the volume and character that define classic pre-war loft living. With about 50 feet of frontage and a deep, regular floor plate, the layout can easily fit four bedrooms plus a home office, alongside generous living and dining space and a great room built for entertaining.

The loft also has approximately 300 square feet of private outdoor space, a rare feature for a full-floor home in Flatiron. Picture morning coffee, summer dinners, or a planted garden retreat right off your living space.

Bring your contractor and architect to build your dream home. With the floor wide open, you can design your home almost from scratch, from the number of bedrooms to every finish. Wet-over-dry layouts are permitted, giving you real freedom to place kitchens and bathrooms where they work best for your plan rather than where the building dictates.

The upside is clear. A recently renovated full floor with the same footprint in this building is currently offered at $8,500,000 (without outdoor space). Buyers who want to create a custom home and build substantial equity at the same time will be hard pressed to find a better starting point in downtown Manhattan.

The unit is currently approved for commercial use, however, the co-op board has confirmed it supports converting the unit to residential and is actively encouraging it, following the many floors above that have already made the change. This is a well-established path in the building, not an exception.

The Greenwich Building is a boutique, 11-story neo-Renaissance co-op with a striking landmarked facade and only a handful of homes. Residents enjoy keyed elevator access to their floor, two elevators, a ButterflyMX virtual doorman, and a pet-friendly policy.

Set just off Fifth Avenue on one of Flatiron's prettiest blocks, the building puts you steps from Madison Square Park, Union Square and its Greenmarket, Eataly, and some of the city's best restaurants and shops. A Citi Bike dock sits right across the street, and the subway lines at 23rd Street and Union Square are a short walk away.

Buy it, renovate it, and build your dream home, with real value built in from day one.
