161 Hudson Street, 2-B

This spectacular, perfectly renovated and light-filled corner loft is the epitome of chic downtown style. Expertly blending the grand industrial scale of Tribeca’s best architecture with a warm material palette, this luxurious home has an ideal layout for both entertaining and day-to-day life. Truly turn-key even for the most discerning buyer, this beautiful apartment features extensive built-ins, high ceilings, central HVAC and top-of-the-line finishes throughout. Currently an expansive 3 bedroom home, a 4th bedroom can be easily added without sacrificing the scale or functionality of the main entertaining area. With unobstructed sky views on a rare open corner, eleven enormous, double-hung, sound-proof windows flood every room of this space with natural light all day, while ensuring peace and quiet at the heart of Tribeca.

A charming entry hall provides a warm welcome, with a built-in bench crafted from vintage wood and painted diagonal wall panelling, leading visitors to the dramatically over-scaled corner great room and the “wow” moment every loft buyer hopes for. This almost 31' wide by 34' long space is surrounded by huge windows with open views to the east, soaring ceilings, monumentally scaled original columns, wide-plank Brazilian walnut flooring, beautifully crafted exposed copper pipe lighting, electric solar shades, and an open industrial steel shelving unit that defines distinct dining and living areas. A built in shelving unit with two work spaces functions as the perfect home office, while floor-to-ceiling cabinetry along the south wall houses an entertainment system and extensive storage.

Cleverly designed to function as a separate contained space, yet still open to the dining area, the chef’s kitchen features top of the line appliances including a Viking range and hood, and a Sub-Zero fridge. Integrated into the Poggenpohl cabinetry are a Miele dishwasher, microwave, and espresso/cappuccino machine, as well as a Gaggenau wine fridge and a roll-up door “appliance garage”. Open wood slab shelves provide additional storage and complement the handmade aesthetic of the white-glazed Dutch tiled walls and the encaustic tile floors. The latter carry over into the guest powder room, which doubles as a large laundry room by smartly concealing a side-by-side washer/dryer and more storage behind attractive millwork.

The large master suite is truly a relaxing oasis, featuring walls clad in reclaimed wood planks, which are also repeated on the ceiling of the en-suite bath. The master bath is adorned with hexagonal slate floor tiles, a marble-topped double vanity, and a steel-casement enclosed steam shower with slate slab walls. Multiple custom fitted closets include a large walk-in, while additional built-ins provide extra storage. Remote controlled black out shades complete the space.

A separate wing on the opposite side of the loft houses two additional bedrooms, each generously scaled and and with ample closet space. A large second full bath emphasizes function and design consistency with the same floor to ceiling Dutch subway tiles as the kitchen and the hexagonal slate floor tiles used in the master. Slate surrounds the the luxurious oversized WetStyle tub, while a double cast iron sink and lacquer-painted glass storage cabinets complete the bath. The sophisticated design of this loft has been featured in numerous publications. *Tax number includes NYC condo/coop primary residence annual abatement of $4,229.
