$5.5M Noho loft promises 'urban bliss' in a historic cast-iron building

Living here guarantees you plenty of natural light and stunning views

It takes just a few seconds of gazing for it to become clear why this stunning co-op in Noho is seeking $5.495 million. It's not a price that's within reach for the average Joe, but this isn't your average Manhattan apartment. It's 3,100 square feet, and that only begins to describe it.

Broker lingo calls this apartment at 684 Broadway "urban bliss," and we can get behind that. This upscale loft is emblazoned with wooden framed floor-to-ceiling windows that line the wall of the open living/dining room, providing prolific sunlight. It gets even better from there, with high beamed ceilings, and a contemporary kitchen that is nothing short of beautiful, designed with wooden cabinets blended with stainless steel appliances.

As detailed in the listing description, the floorplan is flexible and can be shifted in a myriad of ways. As it stands, there are four bedrooms (one being the en-suite master bedroom with a huge walk-in closet), two full bathrooms, and two office rooms. However, the offices can be merged to create one big office, or the rooms can be repurposed into something else (fitness room or man cave, perhaps?). A laundry room is also featured and comes equipped with a washer/dryer unit.

Among the features are a wood-burning fireplace, central air conditioning, heated bathroom floors, and let's not forget those lovely views. Just about the only thing missing here is a private elevator and personal outdoor space. Otherwise, everything else seems to be in place.
