24 East 21st Street #2

24 East 21st Street #2 is a full-floor Flatiron home where a keyed elevator opens straight into the living room, in contract at $5,650,000. Behind a 1935 limestone facade with a carved-head, broken-pediment entrance, the boutique building gives each of its eight residences an entire floor.

Here that means a forty-by-twenty living and dining room, eleven-foot beamed ceilings, and stained wide-plank oak, on a Flatiron side street between Broadway and Park Avenue South. The full floor last traded for $3,780,000 in 2010, so it has gained close to half its value in the years since.
