Description

This light-filled Tribeca penthouse loft is truly exceptional and must be seen to be fully appreciated. A perfect marriage of flawless modern design with a warm palette of natural materials, this home has been meticulously planned and constructed with ease of living and comfort in mind, and boasts approx. 4,200 interior and 2,000 exterior SF. Spread over three levels, plus a roof deck, this spectacular townhouse in the sky boasts three bedroom suites, a home office, four full & two half-baths, and three landscaped terraces. The combination of extraordinary skyline views, phenomenal outdoor space, the best location in Tribeca, and the highest levels of craftsmanship and attention to detail, results in a home that is truly one-of-a-kind. A key-locked elevator opens to a double height entry hall where a show-stopping Bocci "Tree Branch" light fixture is suspended over the beautiful wide-plank European white oak floors that continue throughout the loft. A walk-in coat closet and an elegant powder room are tucked away behind flat panel doors. The living room effortlessly flows from the entry area into a double-height seating area centered on a wood burning fireplace set into a 19-foot high wood-paneled wall, featuring restored heart-pine reclaimed from the building's original roof joists. The paneled walls wrap around a central core on two levels of the home, providing a transition from public to private zones. On the lower level, floor-to-ceiling doors lead to two spacious bedrooms, both with en-suite baths. A sky-lit staircase leads up to the 2nd floor, where a mezzanine surrounds the double-height volume crowned by a stunning David Weeks chandelier. At one end of the floor is a luxurious master suite. The master bedchamber is lined with walls of custom-fitted Poliform closets, a built-in dressing table and drawers, and enjoys fabulous natural light from a row of oversized skylights. The spa-like master bathroom features Calacatta marble slab walls, a double-sink vanity, Wet Design soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. Top-of-the-line finishes include Vola plumbing fixtures, used throughout the home. Across the mezzanine is a cozy media room enclosed by custom fabricated walls of steel casement windows. Beyond the media room is a home office overlooking the entry hall below, featuring skyline views through the clerestory windows above. The office could easily convert to a 4th bedroom, as there is an adjacent full bath. The stair ascends to the 3rd floor that offers dramatic views of the downtown skyline. This perfect entertaining space is home to the Henry Built custom kitchen with walnut cabinetry, integrated Fisher Paykel appliances, vented hood, wine refrigerator, and an oversized island. A Panoramah "guillotine" window extends across the full width of the room and drops down overlooking the first of three landscaped terraces, truly bringing the outdoors in, and perfectly framing the view of WTC beyond. The dining area is spacious enough to easily seat 16, and is flooded with daylight from five skylights along the eastern wall. Adjacent to the kitchen is a living area with gas fireplace, perfect for lounging or entertaining, and a powder room. A glass wall at the rear of the floor extends the living space outdoors onto an enormous landscaped private terrace with a dining area, separate lounge seating, and a gas grill. All is crowned by the last of three beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces - the spectacular roof deck with "wow" views of the Downtown Manhattan skyline, teak decking and a sheltered seating area. This loft is turn-key, complete with split-system multi-zone A/C, Lutron Eco controls with Palladium switches, Bocci outlets, a dumbwaiter, Jaga in-floor perimeter heating, state-of-the-art LED lighting, and a vented washer/dryer. Built in 1915, 13 Jay Street is an intimate 5-unit cooperative. Jay Street is one of the few remaining cobblestone streets in Manhattan, a picturesque and quiet urban oasis.
