Perched high above the surrounding historic architecture of Union Square, Residence 93 at The Swannanoa is a bright and beautifully proportioned one-bedroom that captures the elegance of early New York apartment living. Originally designed in 1898 by architect Gilbert A. Schellenger, The Swannanoa was part of a new generation of downtown residences created for professionals who wanted the light, scale, and architectural detail of townhouse living within a modern elevator building. Inside the home, oversized windows frame the surrounding cast-iron and loft buildings that define this historic Union Square neighborhood, creating a viewscape that feels distinctly New York. The gracious living room is filled with natural light and features high ceilings, original moldings, rich hardwood floors, and a classic cast-iron radiator. A wide architectural opening of sliding doors connects the living room to the bedroom beyond, creating the classic parlor-style layout that defined elegant turn-of-the-century apartments while allowing light to flow beautifully through the home. The bedroom comfortably accommodates a king-size bed and enjoys three exposures, east, north and south for all day sunlight with an architectural backdrop. The windowed kitchen is thoughtfully laid out with generous cabinetry, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a comfortable dining nook, rare for homes of this scale in downtown Manhattan. With open sky and city views, natural light carries throughout the space. The windowed bathroom retains its vintage charm with classic tilework and mosaic flooring. Residents of The Swannanoa enjoy a prewar cooperative with a virtual doorman, elevator, live-in superintendent, laundry, storage (separate rental fee), and a beautifully restored lobby. Just one block from Union Square's renowned farmers market, restaurants, and major subway lines (4/5/6/N/Q/R/W/L), the location offers seamless access to Greenwich Village, Flatiron District, and the East Village. A timeless Union Square residence where historic architecture, natural light, and classic prewar proportions come together in one of downtown Manhattan's most vibrant neighborhoods.
