Overview of 32 West 20th Street

32 West 20th Street, originally constructed in 1912 as a garter factory, is a pre-war building that was converted to a cooperative in 1978. The 11-story structure, located in Manhattan's Flatiron District between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, houses 18 residential units and features a keyed elevator system.

The building is characterized by its industrial heritage, with units showcasing original architectural elements including soaring beamed ceilings reaching 11-12 feet, exposed columns, and large windows. Many apartments have been configured as spacious lofts, maintaining the building's historic character while incorporating modern amenities.

Notably, the building was once home to renowned American artist Lenore Tawney, known for her innovative work in tapestry and abstract sculpture. The property's location provides convenient access to multiple parks including Madison Square, Union Square, and Gramercy Park.

The co-op maintains standard policies including a 3% flip tax on sales and requires board approval for pets. Its position in the Flatiron District offers residents proximity to the area's shopping, dining, and transportation options.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
