55 Liberty Street #26B

Beyond unique and special! Haven't you always wanted to live in a New York City landmark? Apartment #26B, a uniquely laid out approximately 1340-SF two bedroom, two bath at 55 Liberty Street (which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places), is your chance. Make this incredible space your own with this one-of-a-kind opportunity to create a unique home in one of NYC's finest Gothic Revival-style buildings. One of the City's first skyscrapers, this classic 1909 high-rise was the tallest building in the world with such a small footprint. It is acclaimed for its striking terracotta facade with intricate sculptures of lions, eagles, flowers and gargoyles, and once housed the law offices of President Theodore Roosevelt.Featuring high ceilings, ten large double-glazed windows, southern and western exposures, W/D unit, and white Carrera marble flooring in the grand entry foyer and dining room that matches the original 1909 marble flooring in the building's common hallway, this corner unit is quiet and has a great flow to it, although the entire apartment could be completely reconfigured should you so desire. There is a large dining area and the spacious primary bedroom has a gigantic en-suite bathroom. There is extensive closet space, including a walk-in in each bedroom and a spacious enclosed storage area above the closet in second bedroom (an "attic" of sorts).This prestigious co-op boasts a 24-hour doorman, porters, a live-in super, five elevators serving only 87 units, and allows pets and pied-a-terre. Its prime location is just a few blocks from Wall Street, the South Street Seaport, Hudson River Park, City Hall Park, Whole Foods, and all the bars and restaurants of Stone Street and Tribeca, in addition to the Brookfield Place food court and marketplace with its numerous shops and restaurants, such as Gucci, Burberry, Bottega Veneta, Ferragamo, J. Crew, Lululemon, DryBar, and the soon-to-be-opened Saks Fifth Avenue, plus an Equinox and the French marketplace Le District. And it is just a two-minute walk to the new Fulton Street Transit Center, with access to the 4/5, 2/3, A/C, J/Z and R subway lines. Come view a little piece of history in the vibrant and rapidly evolving Financial District!
