44 Laight Street, 1-B

Renovated 4,125-Square-Foot Tribeca Loft with Private Entrance and Deeded Parking Tribeca’s industrial past is on full display at 44 Laight Street. Massive cast-iron columns run the length of the loft beneath original timber beams joined with iron straps, a direct link to the neighborhood’s manufacturing history in the late 1800s. This 4,125-square-foot home sits in the Grabler Building, an 1896 Clinton & Russell warehouse on a cobblestone block in the Tribeca North Historic District. The owners completed an extensive renovation with AD100 designer Rob Johansen, and the home is ready to move into with no work required. There are two ways in: through the attended lobby, or through a private entrance straight from the street into a foyer clad in blackened steel. A deeded parking space in the building’s garage comes with the home. The 68-foot great room sets the tone. Ceilings are nearly 12 feet, with cast-iron columns, timber beams, white-painted brick and oversized windows facing the street. With a full set of south-facing windows, the home is light and bright. The open kitchen has a waterfall marble island with counter seating, a full-height marble backsplash, a farmhouse sink under an arched mirrored niche, custom cabinetry, a Wolf range, a glass-front Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Miele dishwasher. A formal dining area sits alongside. A short stair leads to a glass-enclosed mezzanine lined in reclaimed wood that works as an office or gym. A raised den off the great room is set up as a media room. The primary suite is at the back of the home, away from the living space. It has Tibetan stone floors, a large walk-in closet, and a spa bath with a double vanity, a skylit glass shower with a porthole window, and a soaking tub under a second skylight. A skylit bedroom with a reclaimed-wood wall shares a jack-and-jill bath with a second bedroom. That bath has double vessel sinks, a soaking tub and a separate glass shower. A fourth sleeping area gives room for family, guests or staff. The powder room has a hand-carved Carrara marble sink. Central heat and air, an integrated sound system, custom lighting, radiant-heated bathroom floors and an in-unit washer and dryer complete the home. The Grabler Building became 18 condominium residences in 2001 and still carries its painted “Grabler Manufacturing Co.” and “Pipe Fittings” signs. It has a 24-hour doorman and an elevator, and pets are welcome. Hudson River Park and Pier 26 are a few blocks west. Parking available separately.
