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 facade 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.
