Architecture Wednesday: Tribeca Loft

This recently renovated 3,735 square foot, full-floor loft—currently the home of Today Show host Savannah Guthrie—features four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, glass-walled dining room, chef’s kitchen and breakfast, a home office and ten-foot ceilings.

The elevator opens directly into the foyer which leads to a great room with 50 feet of linear frontage of south-facing windows, is ideal for entertaining as the room is divided into three separate areas, one with a custom marble and white oak bar; other features in the great room include a wall of custom oak millwork, concrete ceilings and a stunning steel and glass wall with doors that lead to a large formal dining room with an antiqued mirror and cerused oak backdrop.

Off the dining room is the chef’s kitchen with custom floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, a honed black Saint Laurent marble center island and a full suite of Gaggenau appliances including a wine refrigerator, a vented range hood and a casual dining area with additional cabinet storage.

The primary suite boasts a fireplace and massive, dressing room with more custom oak millwork and a wall of antiqued mirror closets; just beyond is a five-piece bathroom with Carrera marble and bluestone finishes, a deep soaking tub beneath a flatscreen television, separate shower, double vanity with storage. Off the primary suite is the home office with built-in desk and a Murphy bed behind custom millwork panels, giving this room the ability to also function as an additional guest bedroom. The second and third bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom clad with a double vanity, while the fourth bedroom has an en suite bathroom of its own.

Other high-end upgrades and features include hand painted wall murals, Austrian white oak flooring, collectible light fixtures, and luxurious drapery throughout; there’s a proper laundry room with abundant extra storage, a high-tech AV system with in-wall and in-ceiling speakers and a private 62 square foot storage unit.

I shouldn’t quibble, because this is lovely and spacious and chic, but one one think that for 7 million, even in New York City, you could get a little outdoor space, btu there’s not even a wee Juliet balcony in the whole place.

Huh, I guess I can quibble.

Architecture Wednesday: Tribeca Manse

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 ….

Architecture Wednesday: Tribeca Loft Reno

What do you do with a 130-year-old soap factory? Well, if you have the money, and you’re in La Grande Apple, you take that space and make it into a fabulous home.

So now, the top floor and the roof of that old warehouse are living life anew as a warm and welcoming residence with an expansive entertaining area, what looks almost like a floating greenhouse, and a huge rooftop terrace with views to die for.

The residence is part of the old warehouse mezzanine, with a sunken interior court and a retractable glass roof that connects to the planted green roof garden above.

It’s hip and funky and retro and industrial and green and view-worthy and fabulous.

Architecture Wednesday: Tribeca Fabulosity

It's not big, but it works quite nicely I'd say, and has some fabulous outdoor space, too.
It's just 1,760 square feet, with two bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, on the the sixth and seventh floors of a historic building circa 1866 in Tribeca.
It's so old, it's new again.
And there are 18 foot ceilings, a floating staircase, an impressive glass walkway--which is cool, though I may have to rethink going commando under my kimono--and has not one, but two, terraces.
All for a measly $4.55 million. 
C'mon Powerball!
