Price reduction! This is a charmingly elegant, handcrafted Tribeca three bedroom, two and a half bath duplex condominium with direct Duane Park views. Originally delivered as a white box and fully customized by a team of artisan millworkers, stone masons, and painters from across the world and crafted to the owners exacting standards, this home delivers a level of finish rarely seen.The design build process was curated by architect and master artisan Claude Puaux. This duplex was designed with a direct private elevator entry into a 25' X 42' grand open plan living and dining area. The upper level of this home centers around a one of kind wood burning fireplace built with one of kind La Pierre Dore 17th century stone from the same quarry that provided the stone to construct the Chteau de Versailles. Just as spectacular are the quarter-sawn European walnut wood floors in the living and dining room of various widths and lengths. The living area is framed spectacularly by three oversized windows and walnut wood seating benches to take advantage of the direct views of Duane Park. The open kitchen is highlighted by rich Port Laurent slab marble countertops. Led down to the lower level by a custom created staircase, there are three gracious sized bedrooms and a library featuring a handcrafted wood floor designed in a parquet basket weave pattern and inspired by the floors of a 16th-century Chateau in Southern Italy. Fabricated from quarter-sawn oak and walnut wood, the floor was then highly polished, bringing out its own inherent personality and the impression of age. On top of it all there is a J51 tax abatement in place and some of the lowest real estate taxes around. With countless more details, including custom built storage and hand selected wall finishes, this is one home that must be seen to fully appreciate. The Mohawk Atelier is a full service, boutique pre-war condominium with 24 hour concierge. You are located near several subways, parks, shopping, restaurants, and everything downtown has to offer.
