4 W 16Th St

Built in 1902 and occupying a low-rise ten-story envelope, this boutique Flatiron/Union Square-era co-op preserves its industrial origins as a former printing press while offering loft-style one-bedroom flats. Typical units emphasize volume: barrel-vaulted or high ceilings (often around 11–13 feet), oversized arched or multi-pane windows, exposed columns and brick, wide-plank hardwood floors and open living/dining plans that accommodate formal dining areas or flexible secondary rooms. Kitchens range from recently renovated chef-caliber fit-outs with premium appliances to more modest modern updates; many apartments include in-unit washer/dryer when approved and generous built-in storage plus supplemental basement lockers. Common-house elements are intentionally small-scale: a key-locked elevator that can open directly into some units, part-time superintendent, laundry room, bike storage, private basement storage, and virtual doorman services in some listings. The building’s landmarked character is expressed through a restored lobby and preserved façades; fenestration and interior proportions reflect early 20th-century industrial craftsmanship. There is occasional private outdoor space attached to certain units; the property is pet-friendly under co-op rules and allows pied-à-terre, subletting, and co-purchasing with board approval. Located just off Fifth Avenue between Union Square, Greenwich Village and Chelsea, the address provides immediate access to multiple subway lines, markets (Union Square Greenmarket, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s), restaurants, and shopping corridors.
