144 FRANKLIN Street #3 FL

Rarely available full-floor artist's loft in prime Tribeca. Redesigned by famed Norwegian architectural firm, Tupelo, this stunning, full-floor loft was created for and by artists and seamlessly combines spectacular modern design with Tribeca's industrial history. Upon entry through the key-locked elevator, an original factory door opens directly into an expansive ~3000 sq ft living/ dining area with beautiful details, such as massive cast iron columns, sound-proofed beamed ceilings, hand-oiled maple floors and custom oversized double-glazed windows. Past the open chef's kitchen with its Boffi cabinets, black absolute counters and top-of-the-line appliances, art meets function in the unique mirrored glass storage unit that evokes a Jeff Koons sculpture while serving as a sleek multi-purposed storage unit -- including a hidden mini-bar. Currently configured as a three bedroom and two bath home. The bedroom's oversized windows and double frosted glass and hardwood sliding doors allow light to filter into the living room while maintaining privacy. The spa-like master bath includes an Agape soaking tub and separate marble shower. The second bath is smartly divided so that the shower and half bath can be combined or separately utilized. A full-sized laundry room and hidden home office as well as meticulous design details such as Arne Jacobsen fixtures, Floss lighting, hidden vented AC, fully-customizable lighting scenes, and sound-system completes the picture. Formerly an olive oil and feta factory, this historical home is part of an intimate self-managed coop and is conveniently located on one of Tribeca's best blocks. Conveniently located near transportation, restaurants, schools, entertainment, Whole Foods, Hudson River Park and all the best downtown has to offer.
