178 FRANKLIN Street #4

Welcome to this one of a kind, rare opportunity to purchase a classic 2,761 square foot, 30 feet wide, full floor pre-war loft on one of the most coveted cobblestone streets in Tribeca! The building has only 5 apartments in total, each occupying its own floor. The unit is currently configured as two bedrooms, but can be converted into three bedrooms if needed. Live in luxury just steps from destination restaurants like Locanda Verde, Bubby's, The Odeon, Frenchete and Tamarind. Or, for nights in, shop at the huge Wholefoods Tribeca just a five minute walk away and enjoy your lovely chef's kitchen. Through a modern, tastefully decorated lobby to a key-locked elevator, you enter directly into an enormous living area with original loft details like large cast-iron columns, extensive exposed brick, custom cast-iron features and a stunning, beautiful tin ceiling. The scale of the room is impressive but remains cozy and warm. There's plenty of space for a large living room, a dining area with seating for ten, a library/study, and an office/den. The living room has five oversized south-facing Pella windows, offering ample sunlight. The loft is equipped with central air conditioning, 10.5 foot ceilings, and extensive custom built-in cabinetry. This unique loft was renovated under the current owners by a popular SOHO interior designer and is painted throughout in stunning Farrow & Ball colors. There is a large chef's kitchen overlooking the dining area that will satisfy the most prolific of chefs. Enjoy the kitchen with an open concept and fully equipped with a Subzero fridge, a full-height Subzero wine cooler, a Miele dishwasher, custom cabinetry and sleek marble countertops, with counter seating for more casual dining. Adjacent to the kitchen area is an impressive library/study with custom-built bookcases. With an elegant hallway leading to the loft's rear, you will find two quiet, massive, king-sized bedrooms perfectly placed. The primary bedroom has a luxurious en suite bathroom and plenty of closets, including a shoe closet. The second bedroom has custom-built bookcases and a walk-in closet. All closets have custom features. There are two very spacious well-designed bathrooms. This apartment even has a dedicated laundry and storage room with an oversized Miele washer and dryer. The apartment also comes with a private self-locked storage unit in the basement which is just a bonus for this 2,761 square foot home. Around the corner from the stylish Greenwich Hotel and near Tribeca's best restaurants and shopping, the location of this Tribeca gem cannot be beat. Less than three short blocks (a five minute walk) is Pier 25, offering a wealth of activities/amenities, including playgrounds, miniature golf, beach volleyball courts, skatepark, grass fields, walking trails, and many more amenities. It's a true haven for families and everyone. Public transportation is easily accessible, with a number of subway trains nearby. Pets are welcome! 2761 SF includes stairwell and elevator space.
