Endless possibilities and extraordinary living await at this coveted Gold Coast Greenwich Village prewar condominium, ideally located on one of the neighborhood’s most desirable blocks between Fifth Avenue and University Place. A private key-locked elevator opens directly into a sprawling, light-filled loft masterfully conceived by acclaimed architect Ben van Berkel of UN Studio in Amsterdam for the current owner. This exceptional residence can be enjoyed exactly as designed or thoughtfully reimagined to create a magnificent custom loft of approximately 5,800 square feet and 11'8 ceilings—an offering of remarkable scale that is exceedingly rare in Greenwich Village. Please see the alternate floorplan showing a 5-bedroom, 4.5 bath layout. With living quarters measuring more than 57 feet wide and 92 feet long, the home offers extraordinary proportions. The dramatic sense of volume is further enhanced by the soaring ceilings and expansive windows facing both north and south, bathing the interiors in natural light throughout the day. By night, spectacular LED illumination is provided through the ceiling membrane by Newmat that can shift from cool to warm light. Dinesen fir flooring imported from Denmark is used throughout the apartment, uniting the public and private quarters of the space. A comprehensive home automation system—accessible via Crestron wall panels and an iPad app—seamlessly controls lighting, climate, and shading throughout. The design also creates room behind select sections of the ceiling and walls, discreetly concealing mechanical equipment, including a museum-quality HVAC system. Currently configured as an enormous two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence, Residence 9 provides exceptional flexibility for grand entertaining and comfortable living alike. The spectacular, approximately 80-foot-long great room, complete with gallery space and serpentine library, serves as the centerpiece of the home and is framed by a wall of glass with doors opening to the expansive southern terrace, which captures breathtaking city views stretching south toward One World Trade Center. Additional highlights include a chef’s kitchen and an impressive primary bedroom suite featuring an enormous spa-like bathroom and an unusually spacious dressing area with abundant closet space. Every element of the home reflects a rare combination of architectural pedigree, scale, and adaptability. Further elevating the appeal are the exceptionally low monthly common charges of just $3,374.71, a remarkable rarity for a condominium residence of this magnitude.
