Welcome to The Ely Building, a masterfully restored architectural treasure where historic character meets modern sophistication. This iconic property has been reimagined into a stunning, light-filled masterpiece offering endless possibilities for luxurious living, upscale commercial use, or a dynamic blend of both. At the heart of the design is a dramatic steel staircase with open risers, encased by a slatted white oak screen that channels natural light from the roof to the lower level-an artful fusion of form and function that connects each floor with grace and purpose. Inside, every detail has been thoughtfully curated to balance warmth and refinement. Wide plank white oak floors, sleek lacquered cabinetry accented with natural wood, and statuary marble backsplashes create a timeless aesthetic enhanced by custom lighting and bespoke finishes. A newly designed rooftop terrace crowns the space, offering an extraordinary retreat with sweeping city views-perfect for entertaining or quiet moments above the bustle. The Ely Building's flexible layout opens the door to countless opportunities, from a sophisticated single-family residence to an elegant office, boutique retail space, or short-term rental. The lower level, with three separate entrances, invites creative use as private offices, a guest suite, or two potential studio apartments for added income or extended living space. With its impeccable design, rich history, and exceptional versatility, The Ely Building is more than a property-it's a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural artistry, blending the soul of the past with the luxury of the present.
