70 Thomas Street #2

This exquisitely renovated and restored 4200-square-foot duplex loft occupies two stories of a 5-story coop.

This townhouse-like residence receives both Northern and Southern exposure, with towering ceiling heights and an interior design that seamlessly marries old-world and contemporary aesthetics to deliver an inspiring property in the heart of TriBeCa.

The 150-year-old, former rope factory boasts a truly authentic loft-living experience with absolutely nothing spared during its painstaking redesign and restoration.

Offering ample room for living and entertaining with ceilings that soar up to 27’ and an open floor plan that allows for effortless flow within the space. A perfect blend of history, craftsmanship, and modern luxury make this landmarked TriBeCa loft truly one-of-a-kind.

Upon entering, one is instantly struck by the elegant and bespoke craftsmanship emanating from even the most remote corners of this unique space. Perhaps most notably, the welded steel staircase with solid one-piece walnut treads creates an architectural centerpiece, drawing the eye upward to the hand-finished beamed ceilings 27’ above. Walnut floors continue throughout the space and provide a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the restored strait-grain Douglas fir rafters and millwork add character and charm while paying respect to the property’s former life.

The custom metalwork, from the epic staircase to the built-ins found in the abundantly spacious walk-in closet to the 10’ pocket doors leading to the primary bedroom, have all been crafted by local artisan Gabriel Shelton. That steel meshes perfectly with the natural stone in the open dining and kitchen space. A 14’ ceiling hovers over a center island made from a single slab of Italian Princessa Quartz and plays off a luxuriously appointed kitchen hosting a six-burner Wolf range with a custom exhaust, Sub Zero fridge, Bosch dishwasher, and built-in coffee station and Blanco fixtures for the dual sink.

The primary bedroom is south facing with large double-paned windows illuminating an expansive seating area, a custom king-sized bed, and 13’ ceilings. The ensuite bath is an oasis of handcrafted Mexican tile, Calacatta marble, and Kohler fixtures, complete with a walk-in shower and soaking tub with “cold plunge” functionality. The guest bedroom is equally opulent with southern exposure, skylight, and a Japanese-inspired ensuite with cast concrete trough sink and soaking tub. A secondary bedroom boasts a Douglas fir loft bed and workspace. However, the large, custom-built home office, is where one can find true creativity.

Beyond its walls, this loft also owns 40% of the basement with direct access from the apartment, as well as utilizing a central 10 ton 3 zon HVAC system with a separate boiler makes this home self sufficient and offers a full independent townhouse experience. Additionally, the unit has roof rights of this landmarked building, allowing for future expansion. With flexible sublet rules, the small self-managed co-op will offer an efficient and flexible approach to living in the heart of TriBeCa.
