88 Franklin Street, 3

Exceptional Full-Floor Cast-Iron Loft in TriBeCa


This 50-foot wide, 4,000 square foot, full-floor residence features three generously sized bedrooms, a windowed home office, three and one half bathrooms, and soaring 12-foot ceilings. Throughout its stunning, recently completed renovation, great care was taken to preserve the loft's architectural integrity and historic details, such as the classic ionic columns and 10-inch wide reclaimed hickory flooring found throughout the home.


The private keyed elevator opens directly into a foyer, which leads to a vast great room. Designed for both living and dining, this room's southern exposure and six over-sized windows make this an ideal, sun-flooded setting for relaxation and grand scale entertaining alike. The open kitchen is centered around a large island cut from a 3-inch slab of marble. It is finished with porcelain tiled floors, sparkling mosaic wall tiles, Limba wood cabinets, and a striking blackened steel industrial hood and back-splash. High-end appliances include a glass door Sub-Zero Pro refrigerator and a 48-inch Wolf Dual Fuel Range stove.


The three generously proportioned bedrooms and windowed home office are tucked away for the utmost in privacy and quietude. The well-appointed corner master bedroom has north and eastern exposures and a spacious, custom built walk-in closet. The en-suite master bath features a reclaimed dual vanity for a rustic touch, a stall shower with ceiling-mounted rain head and charming freestanding oval cast-iron bathtub. A bonus library/media room offers a comfortable place to unwind with an integrated home theater and stereo system and reclaimed barn-wood paneling.


Additional features of the home include a custom built-in wine cellar and a separate laundry room with extra-large washer and vented dryer. Fully integrated Control4 smart home system, Lutron and gallery lighting fixtures, recessed audio, central HVAC, and an abundance of custom closets.


Originally constructed in 1880, 88 Franklin is a boutique Condominium Loft consisting of only five floor-through residents. The building offers a video intercom system, daily super and very low carrying costs. With the feel of a small neighborhood, the area is renowned for its destination restaurants, proximity to major retail shops and services, easy access to transportation and the Hudson River Park.
