Infinity Flats, 24 East 21st Street: Review and Ratings

Review of 24 East 21st Street by Carter Horsley

This 9-story former commercial building between Broadway and Park Avenue South has been converted to 8 residential condominium apartments.

The beige-brick building, which is called Infinity Flats, has a two-story rusticated limestone base and its third floor has limestone quoins and arched windows. The building has an attractive broken pediment arched entrance with a carved head between the pediments.

The pre-war building, which has a nice cornice, has a central atrium of glass, brushed aluminum and galvanized steel.

The apartments will have fireplaces "fashioned in limestone, stainless steel and back-painted glass," white-oak plank floors, and beamed ceilings.

The second floor apartment has 4,073 square feet and a 532-square-foot terrace while floors three through eight have 4,109 square feet and no terrace but nearly identical layouts to the second floor, which includes a 43-foot-six-inch by 20-foot living/dining area, a 20-foot-by-17-foot-eight-inch kitchen, a 20-foot-four-inch-by-14-foot-three-inch media room, a 11-foot-by-8-foot-9-inch home office, two long galleries and three bedrooms.

Kitchens will have Statuario marble, Italian-frosted glass and aluminum cabinetry and Viking, Sub-Zero and Bosch appliances.

Master baths are clad in Calacatta Gold marble with limestone floors and deep tubs and sinks by WET.

Prices initially started at $4.8 million and the apartments contain about 4,100 square feet each with three bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths.

Karl Fischer is the architect for the conversion and Andr¿s Escobar & Associ¿s is the designer.

The site is convenient to Gramercy Park and the Flatiron District and good public transportation.
