Visualization One<\/p>\n Just last week, the Flatiron Building saw a full-floor residence enter contract<\/a> after asking $30.5 million, which at that point was the most expensive home to find a buyer. This unit stands two levels below the penthouse, whose pricing is not yet available.<\/p>\n For its part, this newly in-contract residence \u2014 which had its contract signed on March 31, according to Olshan \u2014 runs an impressive 7,441 square feet, according to its StreetEasy listing. Occupancy is slated for autumn for this five-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom spread, which boasts 12 rooms total.<\/p>\n Its floor plan shows a corner primary bedroom suite at 23rd Street and Fifth Avenue that faces north \u2014 and in a near view will overlook popular Madison Square Park. Two dressing rooms are on either side of a spa-like bath retreat that also looks out to northern vistas over 23rd Street \u2014 while the remaining four bedrooms all hover on the Broadway side of the building. <\/p>\n A triangle-shaped great room stands on the other side of the floor, where Broadway meets Fifth Avenue. Measuring more than 72 feet in length, the floor plan shows it has plenty of space for lounging, as well as a grand piano. With sights over Fifth Avenue, there\u2019s a large kitchen in between a dining room and a breakfast room.<\/p>\n What\u2019s more, the unit additionally has a 33-square-foot terrace, according to Olshan. But it also comes with signature design elements. It\u2019s the sole residence in the Flatiron Building to have massive-scale arched windows. The terrace, on the prow, has Greek columns \u2014 and its views will extend up Fifth Avenue to Central Park.<\/p>\n This unit, and formerly an office space, inspired the look of an office in the \u201cSpider-Man\u201d movies. \u00a9Columbia Pictures\/Courtesy Everett Collection<\/p>\n A spa-like bath retreat in a Flatiron home.

Visualization One<\/p>\n Of course, the Flatiron Building was solely used for commercial purposes since its completion in 1902. this floor was once the office of Harry Black, the son-in-law of George Fuller, who founded the development firm that built the Fuller Building, as it was then known. Rumors say the space was made extra special for him, with those large arched windows and terrace, or that he just took the best place in the building for himself.<\/p>\n Its look was so special that it was the inspiration for J. Jonah Jameson\u2019s office in the \u201cSpider-Man\u201d movies, whose look indeed included wide arched exposures.<\/p>\n Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group is leading sales and marketing.<\/p>\n The Flatiron Building has come a long way, especially since 2023. At that time, a Maryland man named Jacob Garlick, then 31, won the landmark at a sale with a cool $190 million bid<\/a> when the building\u2019s owners opted for an auction when they couldn\u2019t decide exactly how to manage the commercial property. However, Garlick failed to pay a $19 million deposit, though he still wanted<\/a> to keep it.<\/p>\n
