111 4th Avenue #5K

111 Fourth Avenue, #5K — The International Tailoring Company Building This is downtown loft living done right. Step through a proper foyer into a space with real presence: an open kitchen with granite counters and a breakfast bar flowing into a generous living room, all lit by the building's signature 10' x 10' factory-style casement windows — the kind of light and atmosphere you can't fake. Add exposed industrial beams, ceilings topping 13 feet, and a clean, minimalist staircase up to the sleeping loft, and you've got a space with real bones. The loft level features 6-foot ceilings, comfortably fits a queen bed plus dressers, or a home office setup. Storage is smart and plentiful: a full closet off the foyer, built-in window banquette compartments, and a bath with a separate dressing area plus a split toilet/shower room. Central air and heat throughout. What makes this one worth a serious look: move in as-is and enjoy one of the most charming lofts in the building or take on a rare opportunity to expand the footprint and build out your ideal downtown loft. The upside here is real. Designed by Starrett & Van Vleck, the firm behind Lord & Taylor, Saks Fifth Avenue, and the American Stock Exchange, 111 Fourth Avenue went up in 1920 as headquarters for the International Tailoring Company, once among the largest makers of men's custom clothing in the world. Converted to co-op in 1980 and now landmarked, it pairs serious architectural pedigree with full-service ease: two newly landscaped roof decks with panoramic skyline views, laundry on every floor, new elevators, bike room, storage, first-come-first-served outdoor parking, a 24-hour doorman, and a live-in super. Financials are excellent. Ideally placed at the crossroads of Union Square, Astor Place, the East Village, and Greenwich Village, easy access to anywhere your Downtown NYC life takes you. No co-purchases, no guarantors. Non-smoking building.
