Listing of the Day
Location: Flatiron, Manhattan, New York
Price: $12,800,000
There’s no excuse for any owner of this apartment not to eat their greens, being next to arguably the best place in New York City to pick up kale: The Union Square Farmer’s Market.
This "fun, quirky loft" is just between Fifth Avenue and Union Square, an "amazing location," according to listing agent Alyssa Soto Brody, "walking distance from such great stores, restaurants and transportation options."
The loft on the ninth floor, is, at 50 foot wide by 85 foot long, unusually wide. "This is not your typical railroad style," says Ms. Soto Brody. "There are three exposures and windows through, which gives you a lot of light and air. It is also across one floor. You really live in all of the square footage here."
She also points out the unusually low common charges and taxes, combined below $1.50 per square foot.
The apartment is being sold by Joseph Klaynberg, a developer and owner of Wonder Works Construction, who bought it in 2012. Back then it was an artist’s studio. He has since completely renovated it with a slick, European-minimalist style.
Stats
The 4,200-square-foot floor-through apartment has three bedrooms, three full bathrooms and large walk-in closets. It’s accessible by a keyed elevator.

Design pedigree
Mr. Klaynberg did up the apartment for living in himself, so no expense has been spared. "He went all out," says Ms. Soto Brody. "Everything is top of the line, from the kitchen cabinets—all touch latched—to the beautiful Italian custom cupboards in the bedrooms."
The kitchen and dining areas and master bathroom were created by interior designer Alena DePloti featuring high spec appliances: Gaggenau cooktops and dishwasher, a Miele double wall oven with warming drawers and Miele espresso and coffee machine. All kitchen cabinets, by GeD Cucine have LED lighting.
Floors in Manhattan are usually wood, but here the living room floors are made of huge 48-inch x 48-inch slabs of polished Stone Italiana and the bathroom is lined with a patterned Caesar stone crocodile tile.
Throughout the loft there are clever storage solutions, with bespoke cupboards by Rossetto.
Even the toilets are high end: Toto washlet toilets are in the secondary bathrooms, a Kohler Numi toilet is in the master bathroom.

Neighborhood Notes
You can tell by glancing out of the window—straight at the Empire State Building—that you are in the heart of the city. The Flatiron District, centered on the first skyscraper built in 1902, is a vibrant hot spot for trendy dining. Madison Square Park is the nearest green area (and is complete with a Shake Shack). Tech companies have set up locally; offices include Spotify and Yelp.
