From the moment you step in the door you are met with a museum level renovation that is at the intersection of meticulous execution and flawless design.
At the focal point of the loft is the 42 foot wide Great Room where classic elements like 11 foot Barrel Vaulted Ceilings and 6 massive southern facing windows have been restored and blend seamlessly with 12 inch wide natural French oak plank floors.
A home that was built to entertain features a sitting area with an ideal art wall at the far end of the room while the near side is anchored by an industrial style chef’s kitchen with a central island. The seamless combination of stainless steel and concrete counters along with custom blackened steel clad cabinetry couldn’t be more of a showcase. More than a piece of art, it is equipped with a slew of top-of-the-line appliances like a Wolf Oven/Stove, Subzero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher and a separate chilled food pantry and wine room.
While the Great Room could accommodate a dinner party for 20+ in the center of the space, tucked behind the cast iron columns is a library which doubles as a media room. The custom millwork and endless shelves, along with a work station/desk double as a media area which includes a home theater outfitted with a Bang & Olufsen speaker system.
With open views of the Manhattan skyline to the north, the private and tucked away primary suite continues the theme of thoughtful function and form. With a warm yet minimal mid century vibe of warm woods and industrial flashes, the bedroom is the perfect place to retire to while the dressing area with custom shelving closets keeps all your clothes in just the right spots. Continuing further, the ensuite bath is again out of a design magazine. Framed by wall to wall North facing windows, the vanity area is adorned by a Vermont marble clad double sink counters and walls. The bath and double shower area is a spa-inspired aesthetic, an oval-shaped Agape immersion soaking tub and rounded stainless steel fixtures sit against a backdrop of industrial gray specially plastered walls.
Additional features include a stylish second bath that doubles as a powder room, a laundry room with washer/dryer, a multi zoned Central A/C, Nano Induct Whole House Air Purifier and Lutron art gallery level lighting and shades, ample closet space and additional custom cove lighting throughout.

Quick Profile
TriBeCa, named after the small geographic triangle below Canal Street. It’s not really a triangle, it's a quadrilateral and it's bounded by West Street, Broadway, and Chambers Street. It’s a little too late for a name change and besides, QuaBeCa doesn't sound half as cool as Tribeca.
One of New York City’s more notable acronymed neighborhoods, TriBeCa is known for its trendy boutiques, fabolous restaurants, historical landmarks, and resident celebrity lofts. It still holds the title of one of the coolest places to live in New York City.
TriBeCa is one of the first residential neighborhoods of New York City. Way back in 1700’s wealthy New Yorkers built homes and maintained gardens in what is now TriBeca.
Later in history it shifted from residential to warehouses, commerce and markets. After the Civil War, shipping hubs moved from the East River to the Hudson River and revitalized areas like the South Street Seaport and TriBeca. When shipping and commerce increased, the area soon became a favorite spot for wholesalers to store their goods in large industrial warehouses.
Just like its neighbor SoHo, TriBeCa boasts one of the world’s largest collections of wrought-iron facades and Neo-Grecian architecture.
