88 Franklin St Unit 3 New York, NY 10013

Perfectly designed and wonderfully functional, this 4 - Bedroom, 3.5-Bath CONDO home is a unique opportunity to own a fully renovated TriBeCa loft complete with all the character of an old architectural jewel. Located on beautiful and desired Franklin Street in a former textile factory, this 4000SF loft combines the conveniences of modern living with the charm of the original structure and has been featured in a New York Times article (How to Land a Loft) and on HGTV (You live in what?). Original wooden beams, dramatic columns, 12-foot ceilings, wide hickory floor planks, and exposed brick walls all contribute to creating a stunning space which is as ideal for entertaining as it is a cozy and relaxing retreat from the hectic life of Manhattan. Unique fixtures and interior hardware from architectural salvagers are seamlessly integrated with beautiful modern lighting, ideally positioned to showcase the many beautiful features of the space. Six extremely large custom-made windows frame the South-facing, 50-foot-wide side of the loft bringing warm natural light into an expansive living area, ideally designed to display art and entertain guests. The open kitchen area reproduces the atmosphere of a typical TriBeCa restaurant and bar with open shelves, a custom-built blackened steel hood and back-splash, cabinets made of Limba wood and blackened steel, countertops and a large kitchen island made from 3-inch thick marble slabs that were reclaimed from the historic Independence Mall in Philadelphia. Those who need a space to relax, read, or watch a movie will love the brilliantly designed cozy den, with its unique industrial windows, wall of reclaimed barn wood, and Porcelanosa tiles. The four bedrooms are ideally located on the North-facing side of the loft, where blissful serenity will welcome you at the end of a long day. Each bedroom has been masterfully designed and decorated to create the feeling of a chic industrial space. Each of the four bathrooms is a unique architectural creation which combines eclectic design elements and infuses the space with soul and beauty. Additional highlights include a fully integrated Control4 system, keyed elevator that offers direct access to the loft, a unique custom-made 100-bottle wine cellar, and top of the line appliances. The combined common charges and taxes are unusually low, a rarity in Manhattan's luxury real estate. Perfectly located to enjoy the beauty and excitement of one of the most desirable places to live in Manhattan, this loft is also extremely close to most major subway lines and the finest eateries and retail shopping in town.
