305 East 51st Street 26C

A downtown loft, uptown. Archive Lofts is the Upper East Side's first true loft conversion - soaring ceilings, industrial bones, and Tribeca's rebellious character, reimagined steps from Fifth Avenue. A one-of-a-kind conversion of a historic former art warehouse, discreetly tucked into the Upper East Side just steps from Fifth Avenue and Central Park - Archive Lofts delivers something totally unexpected uptown: soaring barrel-vaulted ceilings, exposed character, and downtown atmosphere, at a fraction of what you'd pay for the same character below 14th Street. This boutique collection of just 35 residences is home to some of the finest-quality interiors in Manhattan, developed by Forkosh Development Group with interiors by Forkosh Design Group and architecture by C3D. And right at the building's doorstep: AIRE Ancient Baths, the renowned thermal bathing experience found in only a handful of cities worldwide - now part of the neighborhood's fabric. Residence 702 is a 3-bedroom + home office, 3-bathroom loft with private outdoor space spread across 3 balconies, and south, east, and west exposures. Eleven-foot barrel-vaulted ceilings and 10-inch wide-plank oak floors set the tone the moment you step off the keyed elevator into your private entry. The open kitchen - Miele appliance suite, Colorado marble waterfall island, SieMatic cabinetry, polished nickel Signature fixtures - flows into a 49-foot great room, where a floor-to-ceiling sliding glass door opens onto the balcony and blurs the line between indoor and outdoor living. The primary suite offers an oversized walk-through closet and a spa-like bath with radiant heated floors, a deep soaking tub, a separate glass-walled shower, Venatto porcelain and Italian marble accents, and polished nickel fixtures. A versatile home office, a Miele washer-dryer, and radiant heat throughout the full baths round out the residence. Building amenities include a 24-hour attended lobby, fitness studio, bicycle storage, a resident lounge, and a furnished roof deck with a wet bar and outdoor grill. Private rooftop terraces are available for purchase. And just steps away: AIRE Ancient Baths, the renowned thermal bathing experience found in only a handful of cities worldwide - open to residents and the public alike, with the rare luxury of having it practically at your front door.
