Residence 5D at 101 Leonard Street is a rare offering: a sprawling two-bedroom with an oversized additional room substantial enough to serve as a true home office, guest bedroom den, or media room- easily to configure as a suite/third bedroom. It is this extraordinary flexibility-and a scale rarely found in a two-bedroom-that sets the residence apart.
High ceilings and solid oak flooring establish a sense of volume and warmth throughout. The kitchen extends well beyond the standard, with European slab countertops, Miele appliances, a fully vented range and beautifully considered finishes. Generously proportioned bathrooms, excellent storage and a sizable walk-in primary closet further underscore the quality and thoughtfulness of the design.
Originally built in 1904 by Frederick Browne and reimagined by Bizzi & Partners, 101 Leonard pairs its handsome prewar sandstone architecture with sophisticated full-service living. Residents enjoy doorman and concierge service, a live-in superintendent, state-of-the-art fitness center, children's playroom, landscaped roof deck, bicycle storage and additional storage.
Historic Tribeca character, exceptional modern finishes, and the space to live like a three-bedroom without paying for one.
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.
