177-179 Duane Street, 4-E

This rare and sun-drenched full-floor loft provides a serene sanctuary from the world outside and features brilliant light, a flexible 3 bedroom layout and a sense of safety and security that is so hard to find in New York City. A private keyed-locked elevator opens directly to an expansive entertaining space with high ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors and unobstructed southern views overlooking the surrounding historic district and the Freedom Tower beyond from enormous double-hung windows. The open chef's kitchen with center island is adjacent to the dining area and features deep granite countertops, abundant custom cabinetry with built-in pantry closets and professional stainless steel appliances. Just beyond, a hallway lined with floor-to-ceiling storage closets leads two bright bedrooms and a large renovated bathroom. At the opposite end of the loft, you'll find a sun-drenched 3rd bedroom or home office with striking views of the Woolworth Building and a tasteful powder room that easily converts to a full 2nd bathroom. Additional amenities include a separate laundry closet with a vented washer-dryer, custom lighting, and lots of hidden built-in's and storage throughout.

Built in 1885 and designed by Bloodgood and Bloodgood, the 6-story Neo Grec and Queen Anne style building sits mid-block amongst some of Tribeca's most architecturally treasured landmarked buildings and is anchored by historic Duane Square, one of New York's fist public parks. Building amenities include a key-locked elevator, video intercom security system and private locked basement storage. And of course, there's the prized location, quietly tucked away yet only one block from the neighborhood's best restaurants, parks, schools, shopping, Whole Foods and all modes of public transportation. Don't miss this rare opportunity to live in a peaceful pocket of Downtown untouched by development and retaining all of the charm and integrity of old New York! Call for appointment
