Last week was an over-the-top beach house in California, but this week I need my city life, so I’m thinking of this 13,500 square-foot triplex penthouse that is built within a magnificent 1862 limestone Loft Mansion in the heart of Tribeca.
There are four bedrooms and six… only six? I prefer one for each day of the week … bathrooms in the home that is spread out over the 4th, 5th and 6th floors of the mansion; but the floors are open so that light from the rooftop …oh yeah, there’s a 2,775-square foot terrace up top … can fill every floor, and shine through the home’s centerpiece: a glass staircase.The house retains the original 12-15-foot ceilings and cast-iron columns and has a private gym and a half basketball court in the basement!
Now, I don’t play basketball, so I might use it as a fabulous party space instead ….

can you IMAGINE how much this place must cost?????
ReplyDeletethat glass staircase would creep me out (vertigo). where's the elevator?
A little too open and "lobby like" for me, but i do love the libaray type room. But the views are nice I'll bet.
ReplyDeleteYup, maddie and me can hang out in the library.
ReplyDeleteIs an amazing place!
It’s gorgeous - especially the second picture, but it looks more like a townhouse hotel rather than a home.

ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of parts of a big cruise ship, nice to visit but I wouldn't want to live there.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I could live in the library with an elevator to the swimming pool! Anyone want to sublet the rest?
ReplyDeleteI'd split it into 6 units and decorate it so much better.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine Batman living in a place like this. It's awesome!
ReplyDeleteA bit too industrial looking for my taste. Although, that kitchen space would make a damn fine art studio. A somewhat aside: every time I see something like this, I say to myself, think of how many homeless people could be housed in this space. Even if I could afford it, I wouldn't be able to enjoy it, with that nagging at me.
