In one of Manhattan’s most well-known neighborhoods, the Flatiron, a remarkable loft has recently come to the market that blends historic architecture excellence and cool, contemporary style. According to the NY Post, ‘Game of Thrones’ Dutch actor Michiel Huisman, is selling the co-op after he and his wife purchased it in 2016 for $2.2 million. They are hoping to reel in $3.25 million for it.
The Macintyre Building it sits within was once home to Cobra’s Lair, a hip after-hours club of the 1970s, and is only a block away from Andy Warhol’s iconic Factory, where he created much of his art. With so much rich history surrounding the address, it felt only right to give the loft the elevated makeover it so deserved.
Praised New York-based architect Elizabeth Roberts, who is best known for balancing historic preservation and modern sophistication, was tasked with reimagining the loft. The home now has a new layout, gorgeous wood flooring, and two bedrooms instead of just a bedroom loft, as 6sqft shows it had previously.
The apartment’s good bones still shine first and foremost, such as the 12-foot ceilings and the seven original oak-framed windows, while the stunning yet compact chef’s kitchen brims with freshness. It has a marble backsplash and is packed with stylish appliances passionate chefs will love. Another exciting new touch is the pivot door leading to the main level bedroom, a whimsical and clever technique to create privacy. Meanwhile, the home’s decor showcases a boho meets contemporary essence and has a calming, artistic spirit to it.
Located steps from Union Square, and boasting classic NYC views, this celebrity listing could be perfect for someone seeking a charming, bright apartment in a central location. Elise Ehrlich and Chris Pomeroy of Brown Harris Stevens represents the sellers as they market their property.
