A discreet private entrance directly from White Street opens into a spectacular great room, where soaring ceilings reaching more than 18 feet create an immediate sense of volume and grandeur. Designed equally for large-scale entertaining and comfortable everyday living, the expansive main level offers multiple distinct living and dining areas, all anchored by a generously proportioned central kitchen.
The residence is currently configured with two oversized bedrooms, two additional mezzanine sleeping areas that can also function beautifully as home offices, and four bathrooms throughout. The loft's flexible layout lends itself to a variety of configurations, allowing the next owner to tailor the space to their lifestyle and needs.
Adding another dimension to the home is an expansive lower level stretching nearly 100 feet in length. This remarkable space presents endless possibilities as a private screening room, gym, wine cellar, art studio or storage, photography workspace, or combination of uses.
Private outdoor space provides a rare retreat in the center of downtown Manhattan, while central heating and air conditioning add modern comfort 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.
