Love takes many forms, and the perfect lower Manhattan home base will warm your heart for years to come. This two-bedroom co-op at 45 Lispenard Street in the heart of Tribeca, asking $2,900,000, is a chance to live the loft life, overlooking the iconic neighborhood while entertaining on the building’s landscaped roof deck.
Arriving by keyed elevator, what’s not to love in 45 feet of windows overlooking Lispenard Street? A spacious open living and dining area is framed by 10-foot-high barrel-vaulted ceilings, original cast-iron columns columns, and polished hardwood floors stained the color of bittersweet chocolate.
Adding modern ease of living to 1920s industrial charm, a well-equipped windowed kitchen features a hefty breakfast bar, sleek, integrated appliances and plenty of storage. Track lighting fits with the industrial vibe as well as directing light when the sun goes down. Radiator heat will keep things toasty in winter, though you’ll have to deal with window A/C in warmer months.
The large primary bedroom gets a freshly-renovated ensuite bath. A separate glass-enclosed shower joins a clawfoot tub against a backdrop of bright blue mosaic tile. The hallway outside is lined with closets.
The second bedroom doubles as a dreamy home office, complete with built-in modernist bookshelves. The home’s second full bath is just off the entry hall. For added convenience there’s a vented washer and dryer in the unit.
There are only two lofts on each floor of the boutique co-op building. The 18-unit residence offers a landscaped roof deck with a grill station, an outdoor shower and a video intercom system.
