This light-filled, fully revamped loft sits in the historic MacIntyre Building, a pre-war landmark loft building located in the heart of the Flatiron District, near Union Square, and combines cinematic ownership, Union Square views, and a colorful nightlife history.
Currently on the market for $3.25 million, the Flatiron loft at 874 Broadway boasts both cinematic ties — reportedly owned by Game of Thrones actor Michiel Huisman, who famously played Daario Naharis in the iconic HBO series — and a nightlife legacy.
The space once housed the notorious after-hours Cobra Lounge, a club that thrived in the neighborhood’s grittier days.
Just a block away stood Andy Warhol’s famed Factory, placing the loft at the center of Manhattan’s creative and countercultural scene.
That redesign came courtesy of architect Elizabeth Roberts, whose projects are celebrated for preserving historic bones while updating interiors for modern living. Her touch is visible throughout this two-bedroom co-op, from its generous proportions to its thoughtful finishes.
The loft spans two levels of the prewar building with four rooms total, offering two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Its south- and west-facing exposure brings in plenty of sunlight through seven original oak-framed windows, all set against soaring 12-foot ceilings.
Listing agents Chris Pomeroy and Elise Ehrlich with Compass hold the $3.25 million listing.
Seven oversized windows frame sweeping views that stretch from Union Square Park — with its famous farmers market — all the way down to the Woolworth Building. The corner exposure floods Huisman’s home with natural light, giving each room a calm, airy feel.
The kitchen stands out as both a showpiece and a practical workspace.
A Calacatta Viola marble counter and full-height backsplash bring a dramatic flair, while a PITT Cooking stove, Blue Star oven, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, and Miele dishwasher ensure serious culinary capability. A Better Waters filtration system adds a thoughtful finishing touch.
The 12-foot ceilings and original details create an industrial canvas that’s softened by custom millwork and a seamless flow between rooms. Roberts’ renovation balances refinement with ease, making the loft feel both impressive and deeply livable.
A striking pivot door opens to the primary bedroom. Here, the Game of Thrones actor’s primary suite includes a stylish bathroom with a Zuchetti soaking tub and a walk-in closet. Materials and design choices throughout emphasize elegance without sacrificing comfort.
Adding another layer of versatility, actor Michiel Huisman’s apartment includes a mezzanine space currently used for sleeping. Cozy yet functional, the nook could just as easily serve as a reading hideaway or creative workspace.
Though the loft now functions as a polished residence, its past lives remain part of the story.
From late-night revelry at Cobra’s Lair to its proximity to Warhol’s Factory, the address is steeped in downtown lore. Today, the building’s Gilded Age neo-Gothic details keep that sense of history alive, even as the interiors embrace a more contemporary lifestyle.
Practical touches round out the offering: the co-op allows pets, includes laundry in the building, and even comes with a washer and dryer in-unit. It’s the kind of setup that pairs everyday convenience with the charm of a landmark building.
