- Welcome to 6 West 20th Street,
a wonderful full-floor loft located in the Ladies' Mile area
of the Flatiron District,
just a few moments away
from the world famous Flatiron Building
located on Madison Square Park.
Within these 4000 plus square feet are housed
a magnificent, grand area for dining up to 16 people,
a kitchen that is a chef's dream,
a media room, and of course, every mansion-scaled loft
should have a secret library.
This loft has extraordinary history.
110 years later, it is gut renovated and quite remarkable.
And all of this is on the market for $9.75 million.
This loft used to belong to one
of the world's great journalistic photographers, Ken Regan.
He photographed The Beatles,
The Rolling Stones, Ted Kennedy.
They were all here.
I've heard when The Rolling Stones visited this loft,
they said they could get no satisfaction.
I bet if they returned today,
they'd have a very different opinion.

As you exit the private elevator,
these gorgeous steel doors reveal
a very intimate living room section,
a very elegant, gracious space
with enormous, almost 12-foot ceilings.
Why this living area is very intimate and wonderful,
I think one of the most appealing features
are these enormous brand new windows
that are not only pin drop quiet,
but also stream the loft full of light all day long.
The living area is focused
around this magnificent fireplace,
which is perfect when the sun sets
at the end of the day.
As we transition from the living area
towards the dining room,
we pass through the gallery area,
perfect for gathering during intimate cocktail parties
or just a wonderful sense of arrival
when you're coming home.

What is most notable about the dining is its scale.
Here you can easily entertain up to 18 people
at a sit down dinner.
Perfect for entertaining the who's who of Manhattan society
or just your closest friends.
These gleaming herringbone oak floors feature
throughout the apartment,
and they set the tone for everything.

This kitchen is a chef's dream come true.
It's both a closed-off kitchen
as well as an open kitchen,
and I do believe that compartments in loft design
are so much easier to live with,
because it allows separation as well as interaction.
East Indian laurel wood and quartz are the two materials
combined in this kitchen
to create a warm and very contemporary environment,
but the scale of this kitchen allows you
to cater to a really large crowd.
And how is it possible to entertain
unless you have a really good wine selection?
Well, here we have storage
for over 430 bottles of the world's finest.
There's no such thing as too much storage in a kitchen,
so behind this door is a concealed pantry,
and you'll never, ever run out of space.

The kitchen opens directly into the media room,
and this area is defined by a magnificent wall
of steel-framed windows.
This is a design moment that everyone dreams of.
A large cabinetry piece separates the media room
from the dining room.
While this loft is very grand and elegant
and very ultra-fabulous,
here where the kitchen opens up to the media room,
it's perfect for day-to-day living.
The primary bedroom suite is concealed
behind floor-to-ceiling steel-framed doors.
This is a sanctuary of serenity
in the heart of the city.

The bedroom is large and pin drop quiet,
but it is equally a beneficiary
of this gorgeous, warm northern light all day long.
Naturally, you can black it out
and sleep as much as you like.

Behind these walls of doors are some
of the world's most exquisitely fitted-out closets
you've ever seen.
Closets of this scale
in a city like New York are a dream come true.
As you pass through these closets,
you arrive in the en suite bathroom.

And I know it's cliche for agents
to talk about spa bathrooms,
but this one is truly a spa.
The marble detailing from the facets
to the book-matched slabs on the walls
is the best of the best from around the world.
At the exact opposite end of the primary suite
are two additional bedrooms and bathrooms.
There's not a single detail that hasn't been considered
in this renovation,
including UV protection in the windows.
Every home has its secrets,
and this one is no exception.

Behind this closed door lies a secret library.
It's the perfect escape from the madness of New York City.
It's quiet, it's peaceful and no one will find you.
Now that you've seen the space,
you can truly understand how it marries the best
of both worlds.
It's grand and lavish for entertaining on a grand scale
as well as a comforting and welcoming home.
With over 4000 square feet of living space,
this loft offers three bedrooms,
three and a half bathrooms, magnificent entertaining space
and a grand kitchen and don't forget that secret library.
And it's on the market for $9.75 million.
