A Scholar's Sanctuary - Express to Every NYC University, FiDi Loft

Description

An Intellectual's Sanctuary: Fully Renovated Private Wing in a Historic 1,600sf Beaux-Arts Loft An exceptional shared living opportunity tailored for a visiting scholar, professor on sabbatical, or research fellow seeking an uncompromising, culturally rich, and silent environment in Manhattan. ABOUT THE HOST & HOME CULTURE You will be sharing this home with an experience design leader, former filmmaker, and novelist who maintains a deep personal engagement with art history and literature. This is a highly curated, quiet home of culture, books, and art—designed for a focused, high-functioning professional or academic who values deep intellectual alignment, mutual respect, and absolute quiet. This is a home, not a transient lodging setup. I live here full-time and seek a settled, low-key flatmate who wants a true sanctuary to rest, think, and create. To preserve the restorative nature of the space, our house culture is strictly guest-free, tobacco-free, and pet-free. It is not a fit for couples or those who work 100% from home. THE SPACE: HISTORIC ARCHITECTURAL VOLUME Set within a historic Beaux-Arts landmark directly on Broadway, this sprawling 1,600-square-foot loft balances grand volume with quiet seclusion. The building’s thick pre-war masonry and high elevation entirely insulate the interior from the street, providing a pin-drop silent environment perfect for deep writing and intensive research. YOUR PRIVATE WING — FULLY RENOVATED & TURNKEY You will have exclusive use of a completely reimagined, newly renovated "Junior 1BR" wing, designed to maximize both privacy and intellectual productivity: 1. THE ULTIMATE INTELLECTUAL WORKSTATION A dedicated, professional-grade workspace featuring a large Apple Retina Display for 5K entertainment and productivity, integrated charging hubs, and dimmable ambient lighting. 2. A BRAND-NEW PRIVATE ENSUITE BATHROOM Fully renovated, high-design bathroom completely your own—offering private, uncompromised convenience within your wing. 3. THE ITALIAN SLEEP & LOUNGE SYSTEM A sleek, space-saving Italian wall system that functions as a designer lounge/desk by day, and transitions by night into an ultra-premium, top-tier Queen mattress engineered for elite, hotel-grade comfort. No compromise has been made on sleep quality. 4. EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOM STORAGE A custom-built armoire, wardrobe drawers, secondary closet, and a custom credenza to easily accommodate a long-term wardrobe. WHAT IS INCLUDED IN YOUR MONTHLY SHARE To make sharing the space completely effortless, the flat monthly share includes: ➤ Weekly Professional Housekeeping: Full cleaning of your private wing, private bathroom, and common areas, including fresh linen and towel service. ➤ Household Essentials: Fully stocked premium toiletries, paper products, high-end cleaning supplies, and kitchen staples. ➤ Tech & Utilities: Ultra-high-speed Wi-Fi, electricity, heat, and climate control. ➤ Gourmet Chef’s Kitchen: Full access to the shared main kitchen equipped with professional Miele and Bosch appliances, French-door refrigeration, and multi-stage filtered water. ➤ Convenient Laundry: High-efficiency laundry machines steps away on every floor, plus access to commercial XL machines in the building basement. ➤ Premium Building Amenities: A highly secure, attended lobby and access to a stunning, landscaped 3,500sf rooftop terrace featuring panoramic skyline views—perfect for quiet reading or morning coffee.
