Overview of 5 East 17th Street

5 East 17th Street is a distinctive 7-story, beige-brick building located just half a block from Union Square, providing easy access to the vibrant neighborhoods of Flatiron, Chelsea, and Greenwich Village. Originally an older commercial structure, it was converted into full-floor condominium apartments at the start of the millennium. The building features a high-ceiling lobby, an elevator, and marble wainscotting, although it lacks sidewalk landscaping and a garage. Excellent public transportation options and a plethora of shopping and dining venues are nearby, enhancing its appeal for residents.

The standout feature of this building is its expansive loft residences, particularly the approximately 6000 square foot luxury loft that spans an entire city block from 17th to 18th Streets. This designer, floor-through loft offers two private keyed elevators, video surveillance, and four exposures through 20 oversized windows, allowing for abundant natural light. The layout includes approximately 13-foot ceilings and a grand living/entertaining space that measures around 100 feet long, making it ideal for both relaxation and entertaining.

The loft includes two master bedroom suites, one with a den, and a luxurious spa-like master bath featuring a Jacuzzi and steam shower. The chef's kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Thermador double oven, complemented by a spacious banquette that seats eight. Residents can enjoy a newly built rooftop deck with a swim-current pool and barbecue area, further enhancing the living experience. Pets are permitted with an additional deposit, making this a versatile option for various lifestyles.

5 East 17th Street is not only a residence but also a cultural hub, surrounded by some of NYC's finest restaurants, shops, and the renowned Union Square Farmer's Market. This building offers a unique blend of luxury and convenience, making it a desirable choice for those looking to experience the best of New York City living.
