1182 Broadway Apt 13A

Some apartments have views. This one has a moving picture. Perched on a high floor at The Centurian, this corner loft turns three exposures into a rotating gallery of Manhattan's greatest hits - the Empire State Building, the Ritz-Carlton, the newly restored Flatiron, and the Freedom Tower all claim a window here. And the windows themselves are part of the story: original solid brass frames from 1910, preserved for their beauty and paired with modern CitiQuiet secondary glazing - so you get the character of a century past with the silence and efficiency of today. The building steps back from its neighbor, so nothing blocks the sightlines, and as afternoon wears on, western light turns the whole apartment gold. Step outside and the street goes quiet - pedestrianized, no through-traffic, one of those rare blocks where the city hums instead of roars. Inside, the calm continues: ceilings past 10 feet, a fully sound-isolated home office for calls and deep work, and nearly 700 square feet in the great room alone. The layout offers 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and that dedicated office (or nursery!), reworked top to bottom. The kitchen leans classic - white shaker cabinetry, Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, Bosch oven, hidden dishwasher - with an under-counter perch for quick meals and a separate dining room that seats eight. The primary suite is a spa-like retreat: a custom walk-in closet and a five-fixture bathroom with a Kohler rain shower, dual vanities, herringbone marble, and a soaking tub deep enough to disappear into - with the Empire State Building framed right over the rim. A second walk-in closet and a generous secondary bedroom round things out. Nothing here feels like an afterthought: motorized shades, an in-unit Bosch washer/dryer, central air, and custom storage in every corner. The Centurian - a boutique 39-unit landmark condominium - delivers beyond your door: a restored prewar lobby with the original bronze elevator, 24-hour doorman and concierge, a furnished roof deck with grill and skyline views, bike room, and a pet-friendly policy. LLC purchases, gifting, co-purchasing, and pied-a-terre use are all welcome. And then there's the neighborhood. Wander a few seconds in any direction and you'll find ice cream for a summer treat, barbershops that feel more like private clubs, and boutiques that reward slow browsing. Equinox is one block away, Eataly steps from your door, and Madison Square Park a three-block stroll - dinner runs from quick counters to destination tables, and when the sun goes down, the cocktail bars pick up right where the day left off. CitiBike waits outside, the N, Q, R, and W are on the corner - the 1, 6, B, D, F, M, and PATH all within walking distance - and the rest of Manhattan is just a few stops away. Don't sleep on this one. Opportunities like this don't last.
