Soaring 11-foot ceilings, oversized windows, and wide plank hardwood floors set the tone throughout, delivering the light, volume, and character that define the apartment. The great room is an entertainer's dream: generous in proportion, refined in finish, and designed to impress from the moment you enter. The chef's kitchen is appointed with Sapele wood finishes, granite countertops, stainless appliances, a built-in wine refrigerator, and a Bosch washer/dryer discreetly tucked around the corner for ultimate convenience.
The primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a spa-like en-suite bath with a soaking tub and a steam shower. The second bedroom is equally well-appointed with its own en-suite, and the dedicated home office in the entry foyer provides the privacy and focus that today's professional demands. A chic powder room for guests completes the picture with understated elegance.

Quick Profile
The Seaport District sits between the Financial District to the south and the Brooklyn Bridge to the north. The original Seaport designation was limited to the streets east of Water Street from Fletcher Street to Dover Street and incorporated the actual Seaport and the piers. But no more. Today, the neighborhood boundaries have expanded westward toward Park Row and include a surge of new developments in the area around Pace University and City Hall Park.
This is not your father’s Seaport. It is no longer a commercial hub and the seafood industry, which operated out of the port for nearly two hundred years, has been displaced. The older low-rise buildings that line these cobblestoned streets have been repositioned, the SouthBridge towers complex to the east of Water Street has gone free market, multiple commercial buildings have been converted to residential usage and new gleaming residential towers are rising on the site of the iconic J&R Music World which once lined the east side of Park Row.
Still, the Seaport is a small neighborhood, particularly quaint just north of Beekman Street. The streets are dominated by century-old warehouses and maritime buildings which gives the neighborhood its overt character. The Brooklyn Bridge, on its northern edge, looms in the backdrop.
