Sprawling Luxury Loft in TriBeCa
“Live the TriBeCa loft dream with almost 2,700 square feet of combined space (the apartment, private parking, and private storage on the same floor as the unit)!
Bright and airy, open and elegant, this 2-bed, 3-bath oversized loft is a modern downtown classic.
The living and dining areas with their Didier Cabuy French oak floors are as versatile as they are expansive, with enough square footage to add on a home office or child’s playroom without impeding your ability to lounge or entertain in style. There’s even a built-in bar on the back wall and a hidden 100-bottle temperature-controlled wine room! Adjoining the space is an open chef’s kitchen with a Gaggenua 36 French door fridge and bottom freezer, a Viking 6-burner stove and oven with exterior venting, a Miele dishwasher, and endless storage.
On either side of the living space are the two massive bedrooms, each with their own en-suite bathroom. The master bedroom has separate his/hers walk-in oak closets and a windowed bathroom that will leave you speechless. With heated white Carrara marble floors, Bianco Dolamiti marble walls, and bronze painted panels by Atelier Gohard, you’ll be surrounded by beauty while you relax in your Elise 2 Soaker tub or savor your lavish rainfall shower. And just like the closets, there are his/hers sinks for maximum ease and comfort.
No amenity, luxury or practical, has been missed. There’s a separate in-unit laundry room, Daikin silent central air system with individual zone controls, recessed LED lighting…and those wall-length windows come with automatic privacy and blackout blinds. Oh, and don’t forget the Bianco Dolamiti marble 4-person sauna-steam shower!
All this is just in the apartment itself; we haven’t even mentioned that this is one of the most fashionable and desirable condo loft buildings in TriBeCa with river views from its communal roof deck, a 24-hour doorman, and a deeded assigned parking spot! With a location and a loft like this, what are you waiting for?”

Rare Red Brick Landmark on West End Ave
“Have your own corner of New York City history with this Flemish Renaissance townhouse! In an era of brownstones, this exclusive series of eight rowhouses was designed in 1886 by Frederick B. White to stand out in artistically patterned fiery red brick. The houses are magnificently planned with castle-like turrets, arched entryways, and spectacular stepped gables, and have been called home by some of New York City’s most influential and interesting figures. No wonder it’s part of the West End Collegiate Historic District!
Currently a four-story, single-family home (but can also be a legal 2-family), [Street Address] sparkles with light, from the original stained glass windows to the mirrored skylight shining down the winding staircase. The front room is a Queen Anne classic with the same wood-and-marble fireplace that was enjoyed by the house's first inhabitants, echoed again in the second floor study. There are original details throughout — including hardwood banisters and all the architectural bones — for a style and personality all its own. The front windows look out on the famous Apthorp building, while the rear windows offer a quiet view of a menagerie of private gardens (including your own!) and a tranquil third floor terrace. This century-old gem combines all of your most coveted modern amenities — two full kitchens, a master bathroom with a step-in shower and tub, walk-in closets, downstairs laundry room — with that Old New York character you crave. An easy jaunt to Riverside Park, your new Upper West Side townhouse gives you access to excellent schools, Zabar’s, Lincoln Center, all the fine dining you could want, and an authentic slice of Victorian New York. Air rights are included with the opportunity to build up one story. Additional laundry access points upstairs.”
