Dramatic ceiling heights and historic charm abound in this sophisticated, thoughtfully designed, approximately 3,394 square feet 3 bedroom 3.5 bathroom home in the heart of Tribeca. Step directly from the private key-locked elevator into the welcoming foyer, framed by clean lines and nearly 15-ft ceiling heights that guide your attention toward the palatial great room.

The windowed master bathroom with double sinks, custom-tiled floor and walls, separate tub and rain shower, and a separate water closet, is a luxurious spa-like retreat. The stand-alone deep soaking tub includes a separate hand-held sprayer, as does the glass enclosed shower area, which is large enough for a bench, and finished with pristine white tiles and generously sized built-in niches for storage.
